So I started to write a lib (Turned out it can’t be)

StateDataLayout

I intended to write a lib, but turn out it can’t be.

It should be called a architecture to solving the problem than a lib, because it require a lot of constraints. What’s problem ? I’m not in the mood to talk. (If I like it, I’ll do it – as Tùng Mountain said)

Demo Github link: https://github.com/allenatwork/StateDataLayout

A Layout that change state base on response from server.

Layout State:

• loading
• error
• no data
• have data

Usage

• Initialize Data layout

In your onCreateView in your fragment, put the following code to intilize StateDataLayout:

stateDataLayout= new StateDataLayout<>(this, inflater);

stateDataLayout .setLayoutRes(getLayoutRes(), R.layout.nodata_layout, R.layout.loading_layout, R.layout.error_layout);

When you start call API, you’ll want to show loading:

     stateDataLayout.bindLoading();

When API response, if success and data return, pass the data into layout:

     stateDataLayout.bindData(data);

And if it error, pass the error message string into layout:

     stateDataLayout.bindError(mes);

• Define Response Object.

Your response object must implement interface

 

public interface GetInfoData {

    boolean hasData();

}

and sure you have to implemnt hasData() method. Which define the returned data is valid or not (Valid mean has data ?)

• In your controller class, here is Fragment 

You must implement controller interface:

 

public interface ControllerTask<K> {

    void reload();

     void displayData(K data);

}

K is the class type of response data we said above.

sure you will have to implement two method:

– reload: reload data

– displayData (K data): with the data type K, you (actually) bind it in your view.

That’s it. So simple ,right ?
