Debug Drawer

How to use it

Please check the sample/ project.

1. Add this on BaseActivity.onResume so your child activities always add it to each activity:

• Note: You can create a BaseActivity class and make everything inherit from it, the idea is that you just put this code in your debug buildType and not in release.

• Note: you build your own menu with the features you want

Java:

  private DebugDrawer mDebugDrawer;

  @Override
  protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    String[] hosts = new String[] { "Value 1", "Value 2" };

    // Create debug drawer with selected features
    mDebugDrawer = new DebugDrawer(applicationContext, activityContext)
        .withInputItem(2, "Host", this)
        .withSpinnerItem(1, "Spinner with item selected by index", hosts, 0, this)
        .withDivider()
        .withInfoProperties(dictionaryWithProperties);
  }

2. Release resources on onPause:

Java:

  @Override
  protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    mDebugDrawer.release();
  }

Features:

• Custom spinners: used sometimes to select from a list of hosts.
• Custom text input fields: used to set the app api host dynamically.
• Custom map of properties: map of title -> content that allow you to show useful info about the app like version, current host, flavor, etc...
