If you are planning to migrate to ViewBinding from synthetics I have a few tricks to share. https://abhishekbansal.dev/synthetics-to-viewbinding/

Just released npm-publish@1.1.1. This release migrates the repo to GitHub (from GitLab) and adds GitHub Packages as a third repository where the plugin is published to. Feature-wise this adds support for package.json template files to seed your publication configs.

In case this could be interesting to anyone, yesterday I published this article about Unidirectional Data Flow. Hope it is useful to anyone. https://proandroiddev.com/getting-ready-for-declarative-uis-8eedb5f8ed0d

With ex-colleague composed the articles about multimodality. The articles also available in Russian, but in English, they are supplemented, corrected and better structured. Comments and claps are welcome 🙂 https://proandroiddev.com/modularization-of-android-applications-in-2021-a79a590d5e5b https://proandroiddev.com/modularization-of-android-applications-with-explicit-initialization-90efdb79db4a https://proandroiddev.com/modularization-of-android-applications-with-lazy-initialization-a091eaaa284a

I published a compiler plugin that allows to override annotation use-site targets in Kotlin code. You might find it useful if you use Java libraries or frameworks in Kotlin code bases. I also used the new IR compiler backed if you are interested. Let me know what you think about it. https://github.com/ktargeter/ktargeter

Kotlin for Education webinar is now:

Hey all 👋 I’ve update my

kotlin-android-template

with a setup for easy publishing to Maven Central with Github Actions: https://github.com/cortinico/kotlin-android-template/pull/31 It uses only first-party plugin, and delegates all the GPG signing and upload to the CI so you don’t have to take care of it 🙂 Also the setup is done with a precompiled script plugin, so if you need something similar you can simply copy this file inside your

buildSrc

folder and use it out of the box (works for both Android & Kotlin-only modules).

khakra@0.0.3 is out. This is penultimate preview release (hoping to finalize the ramining modules for the next release), that brings another bulk (18) of module wrappers. Slack Conversation

Doodle 0.4.2 released • New helpers for creating paths for circles, rings, and ring-sections

val ring   : Path = ring       (center, innerRadius, outerRadius)
val section: Path = ringSection(center, innerRadius, outerRadius, startAngle, endAngle)

• New PathProgressIndicatorBehavior that lets you create progress indicators by outlining a path

object: ProgressIndicator() {
    init {
        size     = Size(200, 100)
        progress = 0.25
        behavior = PathProgressIndicatorBehavior(
            pathMetrics,          // injected
            path                = path("M10 80 C 40 10, 65 10, 95 80 S 150 150, 180 80")!!,
            foreground          = LinearGradientPaint(Black, Blue, Origin, Point(width, 0.0)),
            foregroundThickness = 5.0,
            background          = Lightgray.paint,
            backgroundThickness = 5.0
        )
    }
}

• New BasicCircularProgressBehavior to replace the old with more flexibility/configurability • Updated BasicCircularSliderBehavior so it can have Fills instead of just Colors and exposed thickness • BasicProgressBarBehavior now takes an optional background Fill, configurable outline thickness, foreground and background corner radii • Stroke can now be filled with any supported Paint, instead of just 

Color

, and now support dash offset

canvas.rect(rectangle = bounds.atOrigin.inset(10.0),
            radius = 10.0,
            stroke = Stroke(fill = LinearGradientPaint(Red, Green, Origin, Point(width, height)), thickness = 20.0))
