[![Release](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/com.pranavpandey.android/dynamic-support)](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.pranavpandey.android/dynamic-support)



A complete library to build apps for Android 4.0 (API 14) and above with a built-in theme engine. 

It is built on top of the latest [app compat library][android-support] to provide best 

compatibility. 



>Since v2.0.0, it uses [AndroidX][androidx] so, first [migrate][androidx-migrate] your project 

to AndroidX.


Since v3.0.0, it is dependent on Java 8 due to the dependency on 

[DrawerLayout][drawer-layout].


Since v6.3.0, it is targeting Java 17 to provide maximum compatibility.


Since v6.4.0, the minimum SDK is Android 4.4 (API 19) to comply with the latest policies.

## Installation



It can be installed by adding the following dependency to your `build.gradle` file:



```groovy

dependencies {

    // For AndroidX enabled projects.

    implementation 'com.pranavpandey.android:dynamic-support:6.4.1'



    // For legacy projects.

    implementation 'com.pranavpandey.android:dynamic-support:1.3.0'

}

```



---



## Usage



It is a collection of activities, fragments, widgets, views and some utility functions required 

to build a standard Android app. It also provides some built-in use cases like an intro screen, 

drawer activity, about screen, collapsing app bar, navigation bar view, color picker, multiple 

locales, runtime permissions, etc. which can be used and customised according to the requirements.



> For a complete reference, please read the [documentation][documentation].



### Theme engine



Each activity and widget can be themed by using the built-in theme engine with background aware 

functionality to avoid any visibility issues. Colors can be selected by using the provided 

[material design colors][material-design-colors] or by selecting a custom color from the built-in 

picker which supports HEX, HSV, ARGB and CMYK values.



### Background aware



Below are the same colors applied on the light and dark backgrounds respectively. But the final 

color is adjusted according to the colored view background to provide best visibility.





  

  




### Sample



This library is fully commented so, please check the individual classes or files for the 

documentation. Basic documentation will be available soon.



Checkout the `sample` to know more about the basic implementation. 



### Dependency



It depends on the [dynamic-theme][dynamic-theme], [dynamic-locale][dynamic-locale] and 

[dynamic-preferences][dynamic-preferences] to perform various internal operations. 

So, their functions can also be used to perform other useful operations.



### Proguard



This library uses reflection at some places to theme widgets at runtime. So, their original name

must be preserved to theme them properly. It will automatically apply the appropriate rules if 

proguard is enabled in the project.



The following rules will be applied by this library:



```yml

# Keep application class.

-keep public class * extends android.app.Application



# Keep methods in Activity that could be used in the XML.

-keepclassmembers class * extends android.app.Activity {

    public void *(android.view.View);

}



# Keep support library classes.

#-keep class android.support.v4.widget.** { *; }

#-keep class android.support.v7.widget.** { *; }

#-keep class android.support.design.widget.** { *; }

#-keep class android.support.design.internal.** { *; }



# Keep AndroidX classes.

-keep class androidx.core.widget.** { *; }

#-keep class androidx.appcompat.widget.** { *; }

-keep class androidx.appcompat.view.menu.** { *; }

-keep class androidx.recyclerview.widget.** { *; }

-keep class androidx.viewpager.widget.** { *; }



# Keep Material Components classes.

-keep class com.google.android.material.internal.** { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.navigation.** { *; }

-keep class com.google.android.material.textfield.** { *; }



# Keep all the Dynamic Support models.

-keep class com.pranavpandey.android.dynamic.support.model.** { *; }

-keepclassmembers class * implements android.os.Parcelable {

    static ** CREATOR;

}



# Dynamic Theme rules



# Gson uses generic type information stored in a class file when working with fields.

# Proguard removes such information by default, so configure it to keep all of it.

-keepattributes Signature



# For using Gson annotation.

-keepattributes *Annotation*



# Gson specific classes.

-keep class sun.misc.Unsafe { *; }

-keep class com.google.gson.** { *; }

```
