Introduction

Spork is a runtime annotation processing library. It comes with subprojects for Android and dependency injection.

These libraries allow you to write less boilerplate code which makes your code easier to read and maintain. Spork is fast, open source and it aims to be different by overcoming the shortcomings of its alternatives.

Spork for Android

The spork-android dependency contains a lot of annotations to write less boilerplate code in Android:

@BindLayout(R.layout.activity_download) public class YourActivity extends Activity { @BindView(R.id.your_button) private Button button; @BindFragment(R.id.your_fragment) private DetailsFragment fragment; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); Spork.bind(this); } @BindClick(R.id.other_button) private void onClickButton(Button button) { // handle click } }

Spork Dependency Injection

The spork-inject library is built upon the annotations from javax.inject (JSR-330).

class CoffeeMug { @Inject private Coffee coffee; @Inject private Mug mug; public CoffeeMug() { ObjectGraphs.builder() .module(new BrewModule()) .build() .bind(this); // same as Spork.inject(this, objectGraph) } } class BrewModule { @Provides public Coffee provideCoffee(Water water, CoffeeBeans beans) { return new BlackCoffee(water, beans); } @Provides public Mug provideMug() { return new MugWithPrint("Input Java, output Java."); } @Provides public Water provideWater() { return new BoilingWater(); } @Provides public Beans provideBeans() { return new ArabicaBeans(); } }

All dependencies are hosted on jcenter, which is already the default repository for Android projects.

To use dependency injection:

dependencies { compile 'com.bytewelder.spork:spork-inject:4.0.0' }

dependencies { compile 'com.bytewelder.spork:spork-android:4.0.0@aar' }

dependencies { compile 'com.bytewelder.spork:spork-android-support:4.0.0@aar' { exclude group: 'com.android.support' } }
