Views AppCompat¶
AppCompat extension of Views
Supported platforms: Android.
Content¶
Tooltip helpers¶
tooltipTxt allows to set a tooltip text on any View using property syntax
even on pre-O devices (using AndroidX’s TooltipCompat in these cases).
The contentDescAsTooltip() extension function for View takes the content
description of your view (used for accessibility) and sets it as the tooltip
text so users can long press or hover on the view and see what it is.
ImageView tinting¶
The imgTintList and imgTintMode extension properties for ImageView are
the same as imageTintList and imageTintMode … except they work before
API 21 because they delegate to AndroidX’s ImageViewCompat.
ActionBar extensions¶
The configActionBar { … } extension function for AppCompatActivity
allows to easily setup the supportActionBar. If it is null, the passed
lambda is ignored, and an AssertionError is logged.
The showTitle, showHome, homeAsUp, useLogo and showCustomView boolean
extension properties are meant to be used on an Actionbar
(usually inside the configActionBar { … } lambda).
They are more readable than the setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled and alike methods.
Config changes handling Toolbar¶
AppCompat Toolbar from AndroidX has different dimensions and text sizes
for portrait and landscape modes, but they are not updated when the
configuration changes.
splitties.views.appcompat.Toolbar extends it and
updates it when configuration changes so you can avoid restarting your
Activity when the device rotates, goes into multi-window mode or undergoes
any other window size related config change if the rest of your content
handles this without needing to be recreated.
