ExternalResources is a Android library which allows you to use resources over the air.
- Download external strings, booleans, integers, colors, strings-array and integers-array from internet on a given URL.
- Each time the configuration changes, the given URL is call with query parameters
- Configurable and easy to use.
- Callback triggered when configuration change.
-
A sample application:
public class SampleApplication extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); ExternalResources.initialize(this, "http://your-url.com/path.json"); } @Override public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig); ExternalResources.getInstance().onConfigurationChanged(newConfig); } }
2. A sample activity:
```java
public class SampleActivity extends Activity implements OnExternalResourcesChangeListener {
private TextView sampleTextView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
ExternalResources.getInstance().register(this);
sampleTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sample);
sampleTextView.setText(ExternalResources.getInstance().getString("my_string"));
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
ExternalResources.getInstance().register(this);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
ExternalResources.getInstance().unregister(this);
super.onPause();
}
@Override
public void onExternalResourcesChange(ExternalResources externalResources) {
sampleTextView.setText(externalResources.getString("my_string"));
}
}
```
*Warning!*: If external resources are not dowloaded, this method throw a `NotFoundException`.
### Advanced
#### Default resources
In your application class add the following lines in `onCreate`:
```java
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Resources defaults = Resources.fromJson(getAssets().open("defaults.json"))
ExternalResources.initialize(this, "http://your-url.com/path.json", defaults);
}
```
