Linker

Linker is a library written in Kotlin that provides an annotation-based API to handle URI routing for Android. Linker provides not only simple navigation but the ability to query a Uri.

Here is how it’s used:

Step 1.

The first step is to install the library:

dependencies {
    api 'me.twocities:linker:0.0.5'
    kapt 'me.twocities:linker-compiler:0.0.5'
}

There are two parts of Linker:

(a). Annotations

With annotations:

You can use @link to indicate the Uri that was requested.

@Link("link://product/detail{id})
class ProductActivity: AppCompatActivity {
}

Then @LinkPath@LinkQuery for parameters

@Link("link://product/detail/{id})
class ProductActivity: AppCompatActivity {
  @LinkPath("id") lateinit var productId: String
  @LinkQuery("title") lateinit var productTitle: String
}

(b). LinkResolver

Here is how LinkResolve is defined:

interface LinkResolver {
  fun resolve(link: String): Result
}

Function resolve will parse the given link, and then return a Result, which has a nullable property of Intent, it will be null if no responding activities was found,

Routing:

val result = resolver.resolve("link//product/detail/123")
if (result.success()) startActivity(result.intent)
