AndroidUtil - README

"AndroidUtil" is an Android-library, which provides various utility classes for use in Android app development. The library currently provides the following features:

• The class BitmapUtil provides methods, which allow to create and edit bitmaps, e.g. clipping them.
• The class DisplayUtil provides methods, which are related to a device's display metrics, e.g. converting DP values to pixel values and vice versa.
• The class ElevationUtil provides methods, which can be used to emulate elevations of views on pre-Lollipop devices. The view ElevationShadowView can be used to easily visualize such an elevation within a layout.
• The class AppUtil provides methods, which allow to start system apps.
• The class PermissionUtil provides methods, which allow to handle runtime permissions.
• The class ViewUtil provides methods, which allow to handle views.
• The class FileUtil provides methods, which allow to handle files.
• The class ThreadUtil provides methods, which allow to handle threads.
• The class ArrayUtil provides methods, which allow to handle arrays.
• The view UnfocusableToolbar extends the AppCompat support library's Toolbar to enable touch events to be passed to other views in the event processing chain.
• The view SquareImageView implements an ImageView whose height is enforced to be equal to its width.
• The view ScrimInsetsLayout implements a layout, which allows to show a Drawable in the insets, which are passed to its fitSystemWindows-method. This can for example be used to implement a navigation drawer, which appears to be located behind the device's status bar.
• The view HeaderAndFooterGridView extends the Android SDK's GridView with the functionality to add header and footer views.
• The view ExpandableGridView extends the HeaderAndFooterGridView with the ability to show multiple groups, which can be expanded to show their children.
• The view HeaderAndFooterRecyclerView extends the RecyclerView Support library's RecyclerView with the functionality to add header and footer views.
• The class AbstractSavedState can be used as a base class for storing the state of views. It is identical to the Android SDK's class android.view.AbsSavedState, but uses a custom class loader and is therefore suited for being used in library projects.
• The class Logger allows to write log messages to Logcat. By applying a log level, log messages can be filtered depending on their priority.
• The class ViewHolder and AbstractViewHolderAdapter allow to use the view holder pattern in custom adapter implementations.
• The class DragHelper allows to measure the distance and speed of drag gestures.
• The classes ViewRecycler and AttachedViewRecycler allow to cache views in order to reuse them instead of inflating new instances.
• The class AbstractDataBinder allows to asynchronously load data in order to display it by using recyclable views.

This library depends on the library JavaUtil that provides additional utility classes.
