Any feedback is very welcome.

@yan: Can we expect Anko for 1.0 soon? simple smile

Well, I don’t really know about 1.0 cause there’s still some work to do. But, anyway, the next version with Kotlin Beta Candidate support will be published today :)

haha nice

Is it possible to create custom views or use existing ones that won't be added as children to enclosing views immediately? For example, if I want to do something like this:

verticalLayout {
    addView(myCustomView())
}

I'm currently not able to do so because

myCustomView()

defined as

fun ViewManager.myCustomView(): View = view()

will already have parent. I can remove it after it has been created but it's somewhat ugly and I hope there is simplier way.

Hello guys,what about update for Anko DSL Preview? https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7734?pr=

@tagantroy: Anko DSL preview v. 0.7.2 is available.

Great!Very quickly!

The Anko DSL Preview is not working on the latest IC-143.380.20

Anko v0.7.3 is out https://github.com/JetBrains/anko/releases/tag/v0.7.3

Hi all . I got a question... I tried to use the preview plugin.. https://github.com/JetBrains/anko/blob/master/doc/PREVIEW.md

but nothing shows up.. anyone had that problem ? just blank in the preview window.. But running on the device is fine

@nevinchen: I’ll investigate this problem quite soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I have the same problem with preview 😞

the latest plugin works now. But it doesn’t refresh nor update my changes to the ui. It only works for the first time.

I’m on 0.7.3

there’s a error message now when I refresh the preview : Plugin Error: Anko DSL Preview threw an uncaught NoSuchMethodError. NoSuchMethodError: org.jetbrains.android.facet.AndroidFacet.isGradleProject()Z

@nickst: you can code it

i’m trying, no luck so far

@vyacheslav.gerasimov Hi there! What are your plans regarding AndroidX support in anko? 5 months ago I was told by @yan that you will complete work on AndroidX. I am about to start a new project, and I am puzzled. I want to reuse anko code from another project, and I am hesitating. @hhariri Don’t you feel that a 15.000 stars project deserves some love?

hi folks, I haven’t used anko, I’m trying to understand more. But, I got confused in the repository, I found this:

implementation "org.jetbrains.anko:anko-sdk25:$anko_version" // sdk15, sdk19, sdk21, sdk23 are also available

But, what is the difference between

sdk25

and others? I mean, if my android project is supporting a minimum target of sdk 19, I should import all the anko sdks from 19 to 25 ?

💬 Hello everyone! After some internal discussion, we decided to deprecate Anko. Some of you already knew about it, and now it’s official. You can find the details here: https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/blob/master/GOODBYE.md. Thank you for your continuous support throughout these years!
