Consider an Activity you would like to start, ExampleActivity:
public class ExampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity {ExampleActivity may have a few parameters it receives from another Activity:
private int numberToDisplay // This param is required for ExampleActivity to start successfully!
private String stringToDisplay
private DataModel dataModel; // Parcelable or SerializableWith Piri, you can generate an Intent builder for ExampleActivity, and it only requires a few annotations.
public class ExampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@PiriParam(required = true)
protected int numberToDisplay;
@PiriParam
protected String stringToDisplay;
@PiriParam
protected DataModel dataModel;
...Okay cool! But how do we use it?
When you build your project, a class called ExampleActivityIntentCreator will be generated:
// number gets created as a constructor param due to being required
Intent intent = new ExampleActivityIntentCreator(context, number)
.stringToDisplay(string)
.dataModel(dataModel)
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
.create();
startActivity(intent);Easy! You can then retrieve your data when ExampleActivity is started with Piri.bind():
@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_example);
Piri.bind(this)
// Defined PiriParam variables are set for you
...
