A library with View DSL alternative: https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/

from anko.

It's still very much usable, and there's no way I'm going back to XML layouts!

However, it looks like Jetpack Compose is going to be the way forward, from what I've seen.

Is somebody fork this repo and continued a work?

from anko.

Splitties View DSL is a pretty good alternative. And from my point of view it has better architecture - it doesn't tighten views to Android internals (Activities/Fragments).

@Zhuinden you can use an XML ‘bridge’ layout to preview layouts created from code, see https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/master/modules/views-dsl-ide-preview

from anko.

Layouting is the one thing I'd definitely stick with the officially supported tooling. You could even use this thing but why would you? 🤔

Very sad. It is full of very useful staff which is still not available anywhere else.
Like works with Intents/Activity.
AndroidX should adopt the most useful things.

Great would be release just some small maintenance release.
Like remove deprecated stuff, async stuff (we have coroutines) and convert it to AndroidX.
Or at least accepting PR.

Forks are great but, but if nobody put it back to one product, it loses sense.
Here is an overview of all existing forks

I should have seen this. Wasted 5 hrs to figure out bug in library itself

from anko.

If you need a custom, vendor-independent layout framework, there are Anvil and Litho already.
Compose is just one more result of NIH syndrome.

This library is now deprecated, see https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/blob/master/GOODBYE.md

from anko.

XML layouts still have the easiest preview capability and most familiarity. Until Jetpack Compose comes out, XMLs are the way to go.

Thanks @vkotovv for making the library and thanks for making it clear it has no future. Off to Splitties I guess :)
