An extensive collection of <b>Kotlin Android Utils</b>

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](docs/Changelog.md)

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

KAU is available on JitPack

[![](https://jitpack.io/v/ca.allanwang/kau.svg)](https://jitpack.io/#ca.allanwang/kau) 
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/AllanWang/KAU.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/AllanWang/KAU)
[![Awesome Kotlin Badge](https://kotlin.link/awesome-kotlin.svg)](https://github.com/KotlinBy/awesome-kotlin)
[![Stories in Ready](https://badge.waffle.io/AllanWang/KAU.png?label=ready&title=Ready)](https://waffle.io/AllanWang/KAU?utm_source=badge)
[![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 {
        ...
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }  //for gradle < 4.0
        google()                                  //for gradle >= 4.0
    }
}
```

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 dependencies.

```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:kpref-activity:$KAU"
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:mediapicker:$KAU"
    compile "ca.allanwang.kau:searchview:$KAU"
}

```

# Proguard/MultiDex

Given that the core module contains a lot of extension functions, you may run into a dex error (over 64k methods)

To resolve that, add `multiDexEnabled true` under your `app.gradle > android > defaultConfig`

Likewise, it is highly recommended to use proguard to clean up your project upon release.
All KAU components support proguard out of the box. 
Some may have extra requirements for certain features, which will be detailed in their respective README.
