Beagle Defaults

Here you will find the Beagle-Defaults library to help you start a project using Beagle in Android. This lib will hold just a few classes necessary to configure and add Beagle into an Android project.

Requirements


Before you start to configure Beagle for your Android system, it’s important to check out if you have installed all the current versions of the following programs: ‌

  • JDK 8+ language
  • Android API level: at least 19 or higher
  • Kotlin 1.3+

Getting started


This tutorial will configure Beagle from the Start.

Step 1: Add a configuration on the Gradle file in your project:

  • Add mavenCentral() into the All projects block on your Project Gradle file(build.gradle)
allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Step 2: Add kotlin kapt plugin and 3 dependencies on your application dependency manager (gradle.gradle)

  • The version numbers listed below may have been updated. Please check the actual versions on the tags above:
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

android {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "br.com.zup.beagle:android:1.5.1"
    kapt "br.com.zup.beagle:android-processor:1.5.1"
    implementation "br.com.zup.beagle:beagle-defaults:0.0.4"
}

Step 3: Create 4 configurations files for Beagle.

  • These files will set a few configurations and classes used by Beagle.
    • if you need a more detailed information check out

1. Create an AppBeagleConfig file:

@BeagleComponent
class AppBeagleConfig: BeagleConfig {
    override val environment: Environment = Environment.DEBUG
    override val baseUrl: String = "https://adopt-beagle.continuousplatform.com/scaffold"
}

2. Create an HttpApp file as listed below. This class extends from an ´HttpClientDefault()´ class at the Beagle-Default lib:

@BeagleComponent
class HttpApp: HttpClientDefault()

3. Create a LoggerApp file as listed below. This class extends from a ´BeagleLoggerDefault()´ class at the Beagle-Default lib:

@BeagleComponent
class LoggerApp: BeagleLoggerDefault()

Step 4: Build your project: When building this application the config above will setup Beagle in your project.

Step 5: Create an AppAplication file as the example below:

class AppApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        APPLICATION = this

        BeagleSetup().init(this)
    }

    companion object {
        var APPLICATION: Application? = null
    }
}

Step 6: Test your application

To test it you just need to call a screen from the BFF sample.
To do that you need to start an activity using the configuration below:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
       
        val intent = this.newServerDrivenIntent<ServerDrivenActivity>(RequestData("/components"))
        startActivity(intent)
    }
}

A sample screen with all Beagle components will show on your emulator screen.
