It also affects the performance (not much but Android developers think a lot about it)

@yan: for example, implementing virtual-dom-like behavior

so you can just track changing properties of views rather than complete objects

This level of abstraction adds some performance (and memory) overhead. And I’m not sure about the benefits I get

sure

It’d probably be better to just borrow the dsl generation code for that

It’s probably cool for the dynamic languages (read: JS), but Android is the different world

I disagree

Android has a Transitions framework with a Scene object that does what I describe

but it keeps two hierarchies in memory

Scenes make it easy to animate from one hierarchy to the next

Well, in honest, I think that the GUI part of the Android SDK should be redesigned to make such things cheap :)

Well, at least

Views

should be lightweight. They are pretty heavy right now, so adding an additional level of abstraction is like a runaway from the problem

no argument there

Does anko support SQL Joins? I didn't find anything related to that in its documentation.

No

hey guys, anyone knows how to make anko pick up the

colorPrimary

from my theme?

specifically I have this

tintedEditText

how do I point it to my

<item name="colorPrimary”>

?

@adeln: should be handled automatically

make sure your AppCompat-based theme is set up correctly

@dgreenhalgh has left the channel

How can I set

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

for a

RelativeLayout

using Anko DSL?

relativeLayout {
                    nestedScrollView {
                        textView("Some scrolling content here") {
                            textSize = sp(100).toFloat()
                        }
                    }
                }.lparams(matchParent, matchParent) {
                    behavior = AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior()
                }

@jameshealey94

deleted the msg here and moved to #C0922A726

hey folks, anyone knows how to add

android:animateLayoutChanges="true"

flag to a

verticalLayout

? attempting to achieve the equivalent to:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">

nvm, found it:

layoutTransition = LayoutTransition()

simple smile

i'm curious if anyone uses anko.sqlite?
