Hi there 👋
Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They simply became their music.
It would be nice if we could be able to set a background color for the WhatsNew view. I'll probably open a pull request for this over the weekend. :)
I was implementing this library and first of all thank you for making my work a bit less with WhatsNew
I am creating the instance for creating the dialog when a user clicks a card and with what I've encountered till now it seems like I am only able to create the dialog once, calling it the second time does nothing. Any solutions for this, I want the change to persist the whole time.
Can we have a way to set a custom background colour?
Thanks
I'm constantly getting this error while trying to build with the latest version of WhatsNew:
`Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.

On further investigation I found the cause of the error was the line below:
class ItemsAdapter(private val mData: Array<WhatsNewItem>, private val mContext: Context) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {
var titleColor: Int = Color.BLACK
var contentColor: Int = Color.parseColor("#808080")
var iconColor: Int = Color.BLACK
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
if (position <= mData.size) {
with(holder as ItemViewHolder) {
with(itemView) {
mData[position].imageRes?.let {
----> ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext, it)?.let { drawable ->
DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, iconColor)
itemTitleTextView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(drawable, null, null, null)
}
}
......
From this answer it seems ContextCompat.getDrawable won't work with vector drawables unless AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); is set. I would recommend replacing ContextCompat with AppCompatResources so that consumers of your library aren't forced to use AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); in their Application classes. Hopefully, I'll be able to make a pull request some time this week.
I am using code from example:
with(whatsNew) {
presentationOption = PresentationOption.DEBUG
titleColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.colorAccent)
titleText = "What's Up"
buttonText = "Got it!"
buttonBackground = ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.colorPrimaryDark)
buttonTextColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.colorAccent)
itemContentColor = Color.parseColor("#808080")
itemTitleColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@MainActivity, R.color.colorAccent)
}
But unfortunately gets button with accent color every time
Is it possible to get a callback so I know when a user has finished viewing WhatsNew page?
Hi @TonnyL , when the WhatsNew fragment is recreated by the system (eg: Screen Rotation), all the fragment properties are reset, except "list" (the list of items).
That's because all the other properties are set via apply in the dsl, and "list" is the only one passed in the bundle and set in the fragment lifecycle (by lazy).
I have a list of 10 items, and the first few have icons. The last ones use WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID and everything is fine...until I add more than 10 items. Then the icons become mismatched.
Example:
new WhatsNewItem("Item 1", "This is item 1.", R.drawable.ic_whatsnew_check),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 2", "This is item 2.", R.drawable.ic_whatsnew_check),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 3", "This is item 3.", R.drawable.ic_whatsnew_check),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 4", "This is item 4.", R.drawable.ic_whatsnew_check),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 5", "This is item 5.", R.drawable.ic_whatsnew_check),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 6", "This is item 6.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 7", "This is item 7.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 8", "This is item 8.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 9", "This is item 9.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 10", "This is item 10.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 11", "This is item 11.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID),
new WhatsNewItem("Item 12", "This is item 11.", WhatsNewItem.NO_IMAGE_RES_ID)
results in:
(ICON) Item 1 - This is item 1
(ICON) Item 2 - This is item 2
(ICON) Item 3 - This is item 3
(ICON) Item 4 - This is item 4
(ICON) Item 5 - This is item 5
Item 6 - This is item 6
Item 7 - This is item 7
Item 8 - This is item 8
Item 9 - This is item 9
Item 10 - This is item 10
(ICON) Item 11 - This is item 11
(ICON) Item 12 - This is item 12
It would be very nice to have support for item title HTML, or at least size. And the ability to set a drawable resource as the button background. :)
Recently I get this crash very often. Is there a way to fix it ?
Crashes occured on Android 9 and Android 6 on different phones.
Caused by java.lang.ClassCastException

I have only drawables and text in the WhatsNewItems like in the example.
Thanks for the library. Would you be open to a pull request to only show the dialog if it is not the first run of the application?
Specifically, my use case is:
I'm thinking: PresentationOption.ALWAYS_IF_UPGRADING, which will check the shared preferences for LAST_VERSION_CODE and only display if:
PresentationOption.ALWAYS apply.It is worth noting that in my example, I am introducing WhatsNew for the first time, so for this particular new feature, I'll likely just manually set the LAST_VERSION_CODE preference to the previous version code based on special knowledge I have about the app (e.g. if there are high scores already in the database - that indicates it was installed before and therefore the LAST_VERSION_CODE should be set and PresentationOption.ALWAYS_IF_UPGRADING will trigger the dialog, otherwise it should be blank and therefore PresentationOption.ALWAYS_IF_UPGRADING will not trigger the dialog (but WhatsNew will stil record the new version for future upgrades which require notification).
Although I could manually set the appropriate shared preferences, they are implementation details of this library, so would it also make sense to have some sort of WhatsNew.manuallySetPreviousVersion(versionCode: Int, versionName: String) to manage the situation where other people wish to incorporate the library for the first time?
