This document discusses using Anko to create Android UI layouts in Kotlin as an alternative to XML. It covers setting up an Anko project in Android Studio, using Anko to define a vertical layout with an EditText and button, how Anko works through extension functions and lambdas, and suggests topics for further discussion like AnkoComponents vs XML, styles and themes, and different types of drawables.
Exploring Anko Components, Kotlin, Android
- 1. Exploring Kotlin + Anko Alternative to booaring repetitive XML Views @rakshakhegde @blrdroid
- 2. Anko... Wut? verticalLayout { val name = editText() button("Say Hello") { onClick { toast("Hello, ${name.text}!") } } }
- 3. What I’ll cover, hopefully :) 1. Kotlin & Anko 2. How to use Anko in Activity 3. Makin’ it modular - AnkoComponents 4. How Anko works - Extension funcs & Lambdas
- 4. But First...
- 5. Kotlin + Any? = ❤ kotlinlang.org
- 6. 1.Set. Up. > New Project in Android Studio > Kotlin Plugin > Configure Kotlin ⌘⌥A > Summon Anko > Install DSL Preview Plugin > sudo rm -rf / # fo shitzengiggles
- 7. Show me code, bro 2. Using Anko
- 8. Handy Tools in Android Studio - Convert Java code to Kotlin - Convert XML to Anko
- 9. Pick n Choose, Runtime Configs - Screen Size - Density - Orientation - Right to Left languages/locales - API Qualifiers - doIfSdk / doFromSdk
- 10. What next…? > kotlinlang.org > Kotlin Koans/Tutorials > Google “anko kotlin” > giyf.com
- 11. I wanna talk about... ➔ AnkoComponents vs XML ➔ Styles & Themes ➔ Paint & Performance ➔ Kotlin Delegates ➔ All types of drawables - Bitmap, 9-Patch, LayerList, ColorStateList, Shape Drawable, Selectors, Color Drawable, VectorDrawable ➔ Accessibility - Screen Reader ➔ AnimatedVectorDrawable ➔ Dieting Apps - Lean Apks ➔ Flow + Mortar
