# Faker
[![Android Arsenal](https://img.shields.io/badge/Android%20Arsenal-Faker-green.svg?style=flat)](https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/2039)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/thiagokimo/Faker.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/thiagokimo/Faker)

Faker provides fake data to your Android MPVs. Now it's very handy to make screenshots of your apps without worrying with Google Play copyright infringments, e.g [this app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.kimo.tmdb). Faker helps you to populate your views with random data quickly and painlessly.

## 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=io.kimo.faker)

The demo app has a very clean MVP architecture based in the idea of [this post](http://fernandocejas.com/2014/09/03/architecting-android-the-clean-way/). Feel free to give me suggestions.

## Setup

Gradle:

Add the JitPack repository to your build file:

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

Add the dependency in the form:

``` groovy
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.thiagokimo:faker:VERSION'
}
```

Maven:

If you use Maven, add this into your build file:

``` xml

jitpack.io
https://jitpack.io

```

``` xml

com.github.thiagokimo
faker
VERSION

```

## Usage

### The "lazy" way

``` java
Faker.with(context)
.fill(rootView);
```

Faker will figure out all views inside the one you passed to it and fill it with proper data. Just like that!

By default faker will fill **TextViews** with lorem ipsum, **ImageViews** with a random color, **CompoundButtons** with a random state (check or uncheck) and **ProgressBars** with a random progress value.

### The specific way

``` java
Faker.with(context)
.NameOfTheComponent
.componentMethod();
```

### Targeting views

If you want Faker to fill specific views inside your ViewGroup you can pass your target views like the example below

``` java
Faker.with(context)
.targetViews(collection-of-ids)
.fill(rootView);
```

Check out all examples [here](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Faker/tree/master/app/src/main/java/io/kimo/faker/mvp/presenter).

## Components

Faker is organized in components that provides you specific types of data. Here is a list of the current components:

* [Lorem](https://github.com/thiagokimo/Faker/blob/master/faker-core/src/main/java/io/kimo/lib/faker/component/text/LoremComponent.java) - The old good lorem ispum words, sentences and paragraphs.
