Android Toolbox (Core functions)

Tools I usually use in my android apps Usage:

Add it to your build.gradle with:

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

and:

dependencies {
    compile 'net.intari:AndroidToolboxCore:{latest version}'
}

Kotlin helpers

Write-once read-only properties:

  val glSurfaceViewDelegate = WriteOnceVal<GLSurfaceView>()
  val glSurfaceView by glSurfaceViewDelegate
   ...
   glSurfaceViewDelegate.writeOnce(MyGLSurfaceView(this))
   // use glSurfaceView as regular glSurfaceView      

IllegalStateException will be thrown if it will actually be used before writeOnce call. It's better than Delegates.notNull because we can have r/o property (val) instead of r/w property (var) this way.

Logging extensions for any types (using CustomLogger). class.simpleName will be used as TAG.

   "HelloWorld".logInfo("message")
   this.logException(ex,"message to go with exception")
   42.logVerbose("The Answer")
   "20!8".logError("Replace and press any key")
   1984.logWarning("Big brother watches you")
   2000.logInfo("error2k")
   2038.logVerbose("error2038")
   "amazon".logDebug("debug aws code")

CoroutineAndroidLoader (must be called from from lifecycle provider like activity) Android Lifecycle Components are used (so we can do things from https://hellsoft.se/simple-asynchronous-loading-with-kotlin-coroutines-f26408f97f46 ) like (must be called from from lifecycle provider like activity)

load {
  loadBitmapFromMediaStore(imageId, imagesBaseUri)
