Phlex

I am making a collection of small utilities required by most of the android developers in daily life like isFirstRun(), isDataAvailable(), getScreenHeight() and many more.

Why write something again when it's already written ?

How to use !

• Add dependency in your module's build.gradle file

dependencies {
		// ... other dependencies here
	    	compile 'com.md.phlex:phlex:0.0.2'
	}

• Sync your project with gradle file.
• Start using methods. Like Phlex.isFirstRun(this)

Currently available methods

• isFirstRun(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences)

  • Returns true or false

• isFirstRun(Context context)

  • Returns true or false
  • Uses apps default SharedPreferences file

• isDataAvailable(Context context)

  • Returns true or false

• isEmailIdValid(String emailId)

  • Returns true or false

• isAppVersionUpdated(Context context)

  • Returns true if versionCode of build.gradle is incremented
  • By default returns true on first run.

• isAppVersionUpdated(Context context, SharedPreferences sharedPreferences)

  • Same as above method it just uses SharedPreferences file provided by user

• getScreenWidth() or getScreenHeight()

  • Returns integer value

• getXPercentOfY(int X, int Y)

  • You can also use float, long or double
  • Returns value depending on datatype used

• getThisFromAssets(Context context, String fileName)

  • Returns contents of files as a String
  • Provide file name with extension like sample.json
  • Tip: Use with text files like *.txt, *.json etc

• switchfragment(AppCompatActivity activity, View container, Fragment fragment)

  • Switches fragment in the container view

• switchfragment(AppCompatActivity activity, View container, Fragment fragment, String toolbarTitle)

  • Switches fragment in the container view
  • Also changes the toolbar's title if available

• setToolbarElevation(Toolbar toolbar, View toolbarShadow, int elevation)

  • Sets toolbar elevation to elevation if device is LOLLIPOP+ and hides toolbarShadow view
  • Else unhides toolbarShadow view
  • Tip: Very useful for backward compatibility

• isPreLollipop()

  • Returns true if device is pre-lollipop
  • Tip: Useful for backward compatibility

• isLollipopPlus()

  • Returns true if device is lollipop or lollipop plus
  • Tip: Useful for backward compatibility

  • Returns px value of the provided dp
  • You can also use float

• px2dp(int px)

  • You can also use float

• isAppInstalled(Context context, String appPackageName)

Note: I know this is too less but more methods will be available soon. You can send your ideas or contributions to me at [email protected]
