android-model-to-view

This library includes a custom widget that makes it simpler to present models with a large number of fields with minimum effort. It uses the names and values of each field in your model to build a presentation layout with just a few lines of code.

Installation

On your project level build.gradle:

allprojects {
		repositories {
			...
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Then on your module level gradle file:

dependencies {
	        implementation 'com.github.nightcrawler-:android-model-to-view:<version>'
	}

Usage

Initialize the ModelToView object by passing a RecyclerView to the constructor. This RecyclerView will host the name-value pairs extracted from your model.

Call modelToView.setModel(<your model>) to extract and display contents.

• You can pass a custom adapter and layout manager for a more fine grained presentaton.
• The library has a number of annotations for your fields to control the extraction of the name-value pairs.

Available annotations

@Capitalize - Return the titles/field names in all uppercase
@IgnoreExtraction - Skip the field
@Extracted name - Use a different name for the extracted title (different from the field name)
@MeasurementUnit - Append a measurement unit at the end of the extracted value
@Ordered - Since the order of the fields is not guaranteed (at least on JVM +1.6, they might be returned in the declared order). This annotation on the class, in conjunctio with @Index on the field, returns the fields in a pre-determined order.
