MVP Generator Plugin
An Android Studio Plugin for setting Model-View-Presenter (MVP) template; the template is inspired by google samples/ android architecture. It works with Android Studio 4.1.
Starting with Android Studio 4.1, Google ended its support for custom FreeMarker templates. :( Now you can’t just write your FTL files and put them in a template folder of Android Studio
Important: The main goal of this template is to speed up the development process using android mvp template. It also shows how to create a set of files using template files in Android Studio. This template was successfully tested with Android 4.1.2.
Try it out If you want to try it out, you can download it from plugin market place in Android Studio.
For Pre Android Studio 4.1: You can install this template from https://github.com/vsay01/Android-Studio-MVP-Template-Google-Architecture
How to use
1. Create Base classes
The main idea of the base classes is to have common methods that share across the activities, fragments, contracts and presenters, written down in one place.
For instance: In our MVP template, all views will need to set the presenter so wrote a method, setPresenter(), in the BasePresenter so all the presenters class inherite from BasePresenter need to implement the method.
Here are the needed bases classes:
- BaseActivity
Java
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate; // your application package
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
public abstract class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
// TODO: add any relevance methods
}
Kotlin
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
abstract class BaseActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
}
- BaseFragment
Java
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate; // your application package
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
public class BaseFragment extends Fragment {
// TODO: add any relevance methods
}
Kotlin
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment
open class BaseFragment : Fragment() {
}
- BaseContract
Java
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate; // your application package
public interface BaseContract {
interface View<T extends Presenter> {
void setPresenter(T presenter);
}
interface Presenter {
void start();
void stop();
}
}
Kotlin
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate
interface BaseContract {
interface View<T : Presenter?> {
fun setPresenter(presenter: T)
}
interface Presenter {
fun start()
fun stop()
}
}
- BasePresenter
Java
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate; // your application package
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
public class BasePresenter {
protected Context mContext;
public void subscribe(@NonNull Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
public boolean isSubscribed() {
return mContext != null;
}
}
Kotlin
package com.template.test.testmvptemplate
import android.content.Context
open class BasePresenter {
private var mContext: Context? = null
fun subscribe(context: Context) {
mContext = context
}
val isSubscribed: Boolean
get() = mContext != null
}
2. Generate MVP template
3. Resolve imports and style of the added activity in manifest
Import classes as needed, and currently it will add activity automatically to manifest with style. You need to make sure the style got resolved.
