# KAU

Kotlin Android Utils

This library contains small helper functions used throughout almost all of my other projects. The goal is to make common interactions executable in a single line.

[Changelog](https://github.com/AllanWang/KAU/tree/master/docs/Changelog.md)

------------

KAU is available on JitPack

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/AllanWang/KAU.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/AllanWang/KAU)
[![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202-blue.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AllanWang/KAU/master/LICENSE)

To apply, add the following to your root build.gradle:

```gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}
```

And add the following dependencies (You can use a specific version, commit, or -SNAPSHOT):
Note that only core is required if you want the basic features.
Note that if you use any particular submodule, it will automatically include all of its necessary submodules.

```gradle
dependencies {
    //All submodules extend this
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:core:$KAU"
    //All submodules with extensive ui extend this
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:core-ui:$KAU"
    
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:about:$KAU"
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:colorpicker:$KAU"
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:imagepicker:$KAU"
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:kpref-activity:$KAU"
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:searchview:$KAU"
}

```
