JarCastingParis
Paris lets you define and apply styles programmatically to Android views, including custom attributes.
- Apply styles programmatically at any time.
- Combine multiple styles together.
- Create styles programmatically (as opposed to using XML).
- Use annotations to easily support custom attributes (inspired by Barber).
- Declare explicitly supported styles for your custom views.
- And much more...
Installation
In your project's build.gradle:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.bandyer:paris:1.0.0'
// If you are using Paris annotations
implementation 'com.bandyer:paris-annotations:1.0.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.bandyer:paris-processor:1.0.0'
}
To use Paris in a library module see Library Modules.
Quick Start
Applying an XML-Defined Style
Paris.style(myView).apply(R.style.MyStyle);
Where myView is an arbitrary view instance and MyStyle an XML-defined style. Many but not all attributes are supported, for more see Supported View Types and Attributes.
Combining 2 or More Styles
Paris.styleBuilder(myView)
.add(R.style.StyleA)
.add(R.style.StyleB)
...
.apply();
In cases where there's some overlap the attribute value from the last style added prevails. For more see Combining Styles.
Defining Styles Programmatically
Paris.styleBuilder(textView)
.textColor(Color.GREEN) // Using an actual value
.textSizeRes(R.dimen.my_text_size_small) // Or a resource
.apply();
Can be combined with style resources as well:
Paris.styleBuilder(textView)
.add(R.style.MyGreenTextView)
.textSizeRes(R.dimen.my_text_size_small)
.apply();
For more see Defining Styles Programmatically.
Custom View Attributes
Attributes are declared as followed:
<declare-styleable name="MyView">
<attr name="title" format="string" />
<attr name="image" format="reference" />
<attr name="imageSize" format="dimension" />
</declare-styleable>
The custom view is annotated with @Styleable and @Attr:
// The value here corresponds to the name chosen in declare-styleable
@Styleable("MyView")
public class MyView extends ViewGroup {
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
// Enables the custom attributes when used in XML layouts
Paris.style(this).apply(attrs);
}
@Attr(R.styleable.MyView_title)
public void setTitle(String title) {
...
}
@Attr(R.styleable.MyView_image)
public void setImage(Drawable image) {
...
}
@Attr(R.styleable.MyView_imageSize)
public void setImageSize(@Px int imageSize) {
...
}
}
The @Attr-annotated methods will be called by Paris when the view is inflated with an AttributeSet or when a style is applied.
For more see Custom View Attributes.
Styling Subviews
Attributes are declared as followed for the 2 subviews we'd like to be able to style:
<declare-styleable name="MyHeader">
<attr name="titleStyle" format="reference" />
<attr name="subtitleStyle" format="reference" />
...
</declare-styleable>
The subview fields are annotated with @StyleableChild:
@Styleable("MyHeader")
public class MyHeader extends ViewGroup {
@StyleableChild(R.styleable.MyHeader_titleStyle)
TextView title;
@StyleableChild(R.styleable.MyHeader_subtitleStyle)
TextView subtitle;
...
// Make sure to call Paris.style(this).apply(attrs) during initialization
}
The title and subtitle styles can now be part of MyHeader styles:
<MyHeader
...
app:titleStyle="@style/Title2"
app:subtitleStyle="@style/Regular" />
Paris.styleBuilder(myHeader)
.titleStyle(R.style.Title2) // Defined in XML
.subtitleStyle((builder) -> builder // Defined programmatically
.textColorRes(R.color.text_color_regular)
.textSizeRes(R.dimen.text_size_regular))
.apply();
For more see Styling Subviews.
Linking Styles to Views
@Styleable
public class MyView extends View {
// For styles defined in XML
@Style
static final int RED_STYLE = R.style.MyView_Red;
// For styles defined programmatically
@Style
static void greenStyle(MyViewStyleApplier.StyleBuilder builder) {
builder.background(R.color.green);
}
...
}
Helper methods are generated for each linked style:
Paris.style(myView).applyRed(); // Equivalent to .apply(R.style.MyView_Red)
Paris.style(myView).applyGreen(); // No equivalent
Paris.styleBuilder(myView)
.addRed() // Equivalent to .add(R.style.MyView_Red)
.addGreen() // No equivalent
...
.apply();
