What's inside LessCode

  1. Overview of LessCode features

    master

    LessCode is a high-performance Android utility library designed to reduce boilerplate code. Key modules include:

    • ActivityLess: Helpers for Activity tasks (no title, full screen, exit prompts, overdraw optimization).
    • AdapterLess: Base adapters for ListView, PagerAdapter, and RecyclerView.
    • AppLess: App metadata (version, name, signature) and cache cleaning.
    • BitmapLess/ImageLess: Bitmap and image processing.
    • DisplayLess: Screen utilities (dp/px conversion, status bar height, DPI).
    • HttpLess: Simple HTTP utility (not recommended for complex professional use).
    • LogLess: Advanced logging.
    • SharedPreferenceLess: Simplified SharedPreference operations.
    • ViewLess: Simplified findViewById and type casting.
    • Other modules: AlarmLess, CacheLess, DeviceLess, DrawableLess, EncodeLess, FileLess, KeyBoardLess, NetworkLess, ResourceLess, SerializeLess, StorageLess, ToastLess, and UpdateLess.

  3. Configure the LessCode instance

    master

    To use LessCode, you must initialize the singleton instance. A context is required. You can also optionally configure logging, update frequency, and HTTP timeouts.

    // Required initialization
$.getInstance()
 .context(getApplicationContext())
 .build();

// Optional configuration
$.getInstance()
 .context(getApplicationContext())
 .log(BuildConfig.DEBUG, "LESSCODE") // LogLess - debug, tag
 .update(null, 5) // UpdateLess - null means the default value, 5 is the notification frequent
 .http(5000, 5000) // HttpLess - default connect and read timeout
 .build();

  4. Use ViewLess to simplify View casting

    master

    Instead of manually casting views using findViewById, use ViewLess.$ to find and cast a view in a single step.

    // Before
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);

// After
ListView listView = ViewLess.$(this, R.id.list);

  5. Use ActivityLess for window management

    master

    ActivityLess provides helper methods to manage common Activity window tasks like removing titles or enabling full-screen mode.

    // Remove title and enable full screen
ActivityLess.$noTitle(this);
ActivityLess.$fullScreen(this);
