MDetect

MDetect is yet another library for displaying Burmese texts for Android.

Zawgyi device and Unicode device

How it works

MDetect detects the device's font i.e. whether the user is using Unicode or Zawgyi by drawing က္က and compare the width with က. It doesnt embed any font and convert the text to Zawgyi if the user is using Zawgyi and it doesn't effect the performance of the app much.

Download

Gradle:

compile 'myatminsoe.mdetect.android:mdetect-android:3.2'

or Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>myatminsoe.mdetect.android</groupId>
  <artifactId>mdetect-android</artifactId>
  <version>3.2</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

How to use

Kotlin

Initialize MDetect on your Application class onCreate.

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    MDetect.init(this)
}

MDetect can be used for deciding whether the user is using Unicode.

if (MDetect.isUnicode()){
  //user is using Unicode
} else {
  //user is using Zawgyi or showing squares
}

Java

Initialize MDetect on your Application class onCreate.

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    MDetect.INSTANCE.init(this);
}

MDetect can be used for deciding whether the user is using Unicode.

if (MDetect.INSTANCE.isUnicode()){
  //user is using Unicode
} else {
  //user is using Zawgyi or showing squares
}

MDetect have custom views for TextView, EditText and Button

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="16dp"
    >

  <me.myatminsoe.mdetect.MMTextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:padding="8dp"
      android:text="@string/myanmar_textview"
      android:textColor="@color/grey_900"
      />

  <me.myatminsoe.mdetect.MMEditText
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:hint="@string/myanmar_edittext"
      android:padding="8dp"
      />

  <me.myatminsoe.mdetect.MMButtonView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:onClick="showMyanmarToast"
      android:padding="8dp"
      android:text="@string/myanmar_button"
      />

</LinearLayout>

Setting and Getting Text for custom views

use setMMText() and getMMText() instead of setText() and getText() for custom views.

Getting Text

Kotlin

MDetect.getText("မင်္ဂလာပါ") //return မဂၤလာပါ is the device is using zawgyi

Java

MDetect.INSTANCE.getText("မင်္ဂလာပါ") //return မဂၤလာပါ is the device is using zawgyi

Toast

Kotlin

MMToast.showShortToast(this, "မင်္ဂလာပါ")
MMToast.showLongToast(this, "မင်္ဂလာပါ")

Java

MMToast.INSTANCE.showShortToast(this, "မင်္ဂလာပါ")
MMToast.INSTANCE.showLongToast(this, "မင်္ဂလာပါ")

Zawgyi <-> Unicode Converter

MDetect use Rabbit Converter for converting Zawgyi and Unicode and you can also use the features from Rabbit Converter.

Kotlin

val uniSt = Rabbit.zg2uni("ေနေကာင္းလား"); //နေကောင်းလား
val zgSt = Rabbit.uni2zg("နေကောင်းလား"); //ေနေကာင္းလား

Java

String uniSt = Rabbit.zg2uni("ေနေကာင္းလား"); //နေကောင်းလား
String zgSt = Rabbit.uni2zg("နေကောင်းလား"); //ေနေကာင္းလား

See the sample app for more detail.
