# Demo

The sample application (the source is in the **app** folder) has been published on Google Play to facilitate the access:

[![Get it on Google Play](http://www.android.com/images/brand/get_it_on_play_logo_small.png)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimo.examples.alexei)

## Setup

Gradle:

``` groovy
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.thiagokimo:alexei-library:1.4'
}
```

Maven:

``` xml

com.github.thiagokimo
alexei-library
1.4

```

## Usage

The basic API declaration is quite simple:

``` java
Alexei.with(context)
.analyze(image)
.perform(calculus)
.showMe(answer);
```

It's like saying: *"Alexei, analyze this image, perform some calculus
and give me the answer!"*

### Example

``` java
Alexei.with(context)
.analyze(imageView)
.perform(ImageProcessingThing.DOMINANT_COLOR)
.showMe(new Answer(){
@Override
public void beforeExecution() {
// anything you want to define before the calculation
}

@Override
public void afterExecution(Color answer, long elapsedTime) {
// your usual things after the calculation
}

@Override
public void ifFails(Exception error) {
// when shit happens, do your stuff here!
}
});
```

### Internal Calculus
Alexei has some predefined image processing calculus. Check them out:

* [Dominant Color](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Alexei/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/kimo/lib/alexei/calculus/DominantColorCalculus.java)
* [Color Palette](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Alexei/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/kimo/lib/alexei/calculus/ColorPaletteCalculus.java)
* [Average RGB](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Alexei/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/kimo/lib/alexei/calculus/AverageColorCalculus.java)
* [Blur](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Alexei/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/kimo/lib/alexei/calculus/BlurCalculus.java)
* [Grey Scale Filter](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Alexei/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/kimo/lib/alexei/calculus/GreyScaleCalculus.java)

### Custom Calculus

Create a custom calculus and implement a method called **theCalculation**, returning
the object you expect to calculate. The Answer generic type must match your custom calculus generic type.

``` java

Alexei.with(context)
.analyze(image)
.perform(new Calculus() {
@Override
protected YourObject theCalculation(Bitmap image) {

// do your bizarre stuff here!

return new YourObject();
}
})
.showMe(new Answer() {
@Override
public void beforeExecution() {}

@Override
public void afterExecution(YourObject answer, long elapsedTime) {}

@Override
public void ifFails(Exception error) {}
});

```

### Custom Executor
It is also possible to let Alexei perform its calculus in a custom Executor.

``` java

Alexei
.with(context)
.analyze(image)
.perform(calculus)
.withExecutor(YOUR_CUSTOM_EXECUTOR_HERE)
.showMe(answer);

```

## Contribuiting

To suggest a new feature/bug-fix:

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature/bug-fix branch(`git checkout -b my-new-feature-or-fix`)
3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature/fix'`)
4. Do your pull-request

To add a new predefined calculus:

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature/bug-fix branch(`git checkout -b my-new-feature-or-fix`)
3. Create your calculus inside `calculus` package.
4. Create a fragment in the demo app with the new calculations being applied in an image.
5. Do your pull-request.

### THE IMAGES OF THE DEMO APP MUST BE HOT BLOND GIRLS.

## TODO
* Feed Alexei with more predefined calculus.

## Who the fu#% is Alexei?
[Alexei](http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?metodo=apresentar&id=K4784376J9)
was one of my favorite professors in college. He's well known for its studies in
**Image Processing** and **Computer Vision** fields.
It was almost impossible to not think in his class while I was writting this library :P
