Nimble is a small, quick and flexible Model-View-Presenter library for Android
If you do not know much about MVP, please read MVP Definition and best practices. Or read more about Nimble.
- Nimble provides simple base classes to implement MVP simple. You can get it from maven center or copy and paste few lines of code.
- Nimble is simple has less than 500 lines of code. So it is easy to read and understand. You cat get familiar with it in just 30 minutes.
- Nimble has well tested code (more than 89% code coverage) so you can confident when using it.
- Nimble is designed to be flexible. So you can use it any way you. It can be used perfectly with Dagger or you can manage it manually.
- Nimble provides mechanism to manage the life cycle of the view for you.
- Nimble provides mechanism to save data when activity/fragment/view is recreated throws Bundle class.
Nimble has two simple examples in this repository: Nimble-exaple and Nimble example with Dagger 2. There is more complete example for Nimble is Snowball which is a well tested sample project.
Nimble has two basic interfaces NimbleView and NimblePresenter. They are base interfaces for ant views and presenters.
You should follow these steps to create a MVP component in your application:
- Create a View interface which must extents NimbleView:
public interface MainView extends NimbleView {
void showUser(User user);
}- Create a Presenter interface which must extent NimblePresenter with View generic like:
public interface MainPresenter extends NimblePresenter<MainView> {
void getUser();
}- Implement your Presenter which should extent BasePresenter:
public class MainPresenterImpl extends BasePresenter<MainView> implements MainPresenter {
public void getUser(){
User user = ...
getView().showUser(user);
}
}- Implement your View which should extent base a Nimble Views such as NimbleActivity and implments your View interface:
public class MainActivity extends NimbleActivity<MainView> implements MainView {
private MainPresenter presenter;
@Override
protected MainPresenter presenter() {
if(presenter == null){
presenter = new MainPresenter();
}
return presenter;
}
void onButtonClicked(){
presenter().getUser();
}
}Congratulation!!! You have a MVP component now.
Nimble has a lot of inspiration from other great MVP libraries for Android:
