Deprecation Note
================
The open-source version of Scoop is no longer actively maintained and does not represent the version of Scoop currently being used internally at Lyft.
Scoop [](https://travis-ci.org/lyft/scoop)
=====
Scoop is a micro framework for building view based modular Android applications.
What do I get?
==============
1. [Router](#navigation). Object that allows you to navigate between screens and maintain backstack.
2. [View controllers](#viewcontroller). A new building block that you will use instead of Activity and Fragments.
3. [Layouts](#layout). A new building block that you will use instead of Activity and Fragments.
4. [Scoops ("Scopes")](#scoops). Hierarchical scopes that allows you organize your application dependencies and their lifespan.
5. [Transitions](#transitions). Animations played between moving from one view to another. We provide a set of basic transitions such as sliding right, left, etc. Additionally, you are able to create your own custom transitions.
Navigation
==========
Our navigation is based on lightweight objects called `Screen`.
`Screen` is a meta data object that specifies which view controller or layout you want to show and optional data you want to pass to your view controller or layout. You can think of them as Android Intents with a much simpler API.
```java
Screen screen = new MyScreen(new MyData("foo"));
router.goTo(screen);
```
The `Screen` class is extendable, and will provide you with the foundation for your navigation.
```java
@ViewController(MyController.class)
public class MyScreen extends Screen {
}
```
We provide 5 primary navigation methods:
1. `goTo` - Go to specified `Screen` and add it to the backstack.
2. `replaceWith` - Go to specified `Screen` and replace the top of the backstack with it.
3. `replaceAllWith` - Replace the backstack with a List of specified `Screen`s, and navigate to the last `Screen` in the list.
4. `resetTo` - Go to specified `Screen` and remove all `Screen`s after it from the backstack. If the specified screen is not in the backstack, remove all and make this `Screen` the top of the backstack.
5. `goBack` - Navigate to previous `Screen`.
`Router` does not render views. `Router` just emits an event that you can listen to in order to render the specified `Screen`. Within Scoop we provide the extensible view `UIContainer` that you can use to render view controllers and transitions.
ViewController
===============
This class manages a portion of the user interface as well as the interactions between that interface and the underlying data. Similar to an activity or a fragment, `ViewController` requires you to specify the layout id and has lifecycle methods. However, a `ViewController` lifecycle only has two states: "attached" and "detached".
You can also [use view binders like Butterknife](https://github.com/lyft/scoop/blob/master/scoop-basics/src/main/java/com/example/scoop/basics/ui/BaseViewController.java). So you don't need to explicitly call `ButterKnife.bind/unbind`.
```java
@ViewController(MyController.class)
public class MyScreen extends Screen {
}
```
```java
public class MyController extends ViewController {
@Override
protected int layoutId() {
return R.layout.my;
}
@Override
public void onAttach() {
super.onAttach();
}
@Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
}
@OnClick(R.id.do_smth)
public void doSomething() {
}
}
```
The big difference from Android fragments and activities is that in Scoop we don't keep the `ViewController` in memory after it was detached. Whenever you move to a new `Screen` the `ViewController` detaches and is disposed together with the view.
Layout
===============
A `Layout` annotation can be used similarly to `ViewController` annotation, and can accomplish the same goals. However, there is a higher degree of coupling between the controller and the view in this approach, so this implementation is generally not recommended.
```java
@Layout(R.layout.my)
public class MyScreen extends Screen {
}
```
```java
public class MyView extends FrameLayout {
public LayoutView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
protected void onAttachedToWindow() {
super.onAttachedToWindow();
if (isInEditMode()) {
return;
}
}
@OnClick(R.id.do_smth)
public void doSomething() {
}
}
```
Scoops
=======
Scoop's namesake is the word "scope". You can think of app scopes as ice cream scoops: going deeper in the navigation stack is an extra scoop on the top with another flavor.
Primary purpose of scoops is providing access to named services. When you create a scoop you have to specify its parent (except root) and services.
```java
Scoop rootScoop = new Scoop.Builder("root")
.service(MyService.SERVICE_NAME, myService)
.build();
Scoop childScoop = new Scoop.Builder("child", rootScoop)
.service(MyService.SERVICE_NAME, myService2)
.service(OtherService.SERVICE_NAME, otherService)
.build();
```
Internally, when trying to find a service within scoop, scoop will first try to find the service within itself. If the service is not within itself, scoop will iteratively go up in its scoop heirarchy to try to find the service.
```java
MyService service = childScoop.findService(MyService.SERVICE_NAME);
```
When a scoop is no longer needed you can destroy it, which will remove references to all its services and invoke destroy for all children.
```java
childScoop.destroy();
```
You are only required to create the root scoop manually. All child scoops will be created by `Router` whenever you advance in navigation. Created child scoops will be destroyed whenever you navigate to a previous item in the backstack.
To control child scoop creation you should extend `ScreenScooper` class. By default `ScreenScooper` only adds `Screen` to each child scoop.
Instead of adding individual services to your scoops, we recommend implementing dagger integration. In this case the only added service will be the dagger injector.
```java
public class DaggerScreenScooper extends ScreenScooper {
@Override
protected Scoop addServices(Scoop.Builder scoopBuilder, Screen screen, Scoop parentScoop) {
DaggerInjector parentDagger = DaggerInjector.fromScoop(parentScoop);
DaggerModule daggerModule = screen.getClass().getAnnotation(DaggerModule.class);
if(daggerModule == null) {
return scoopBuilder.service(DaggerInjector.SERVICE_NAME, parentDagger).build();
}
DaggerInjector screenInjector;
try {
Object module = daggerModule.value().newInstance();
screenInjector = parentDagger.extend(module);
} catch (Throwable e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failed to instantiate module for screen: " + screen.getClass().getSimpleName(), e);
}
return scoopBuilder
.service(DaggerInjector.SERVICE_NAME, screenInjector).build();
}
}
```
Transitions
==========
Transitions are animations played between moving from one `ViewController` to another. Within `Scoop` we provide the following built in transitions:
1. Backward slide
2. Forward slide
3. Downward slide
4. Upward slide
5. Fade
To apply a transition you have to specify it for your `ViewController` by overriding `enterTransition()`/`exitTransition()` methods.
```java
public class MyController extends ViewController {
@Override
protected ScreenTransition enterTransition() {
return new ForwardSlideTransition();
}
@Override
protected ScreenTransition exitTransition() {
return new BackwardSlideTransition();
}
...
}
```
If a transition is not specified, views will be swapped instantly.
You can also implement custom transitions by implementing the `ScreenTransition` interface.
```java
public class AutoTransition implements ScreenTransition {
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
@Override
public void translate(final ViewGroup root, final View from, final View to, final TransitionListener transitionListener) {
Scene toScene = new Scene(root, to);
android.transition.AutoTransition transition = new android.transition.AutoTransition();
transition.addListener(new Transition.TransitionListener() {
@Override
public void onTransitionEnd(Transition transition) {
transitionListener.onTransitionCompleted();
}
@Override
public void onTransitionCancel(Transition transition) {
transitionListener.onTransitionCompleted();
}
...
});
TransitionManager.go(toScene, transition);
}
}
```
