Helpers

This is a collection of helper classes for Android.

Features:

• Helpers to "parse" Boolean / Int / Long / String / Date / Double / BigDecimal types. This is great for reading from a Map, or for example parsing a Date field from a JSONObject's property.
• Helpers for handling bitmaps (i.e. EXIF orientation)
• Helpers for Executor objects
• Helpers for loading custom fonts from the assets folder
• Helpers for working with JSONObject and JSONArray
• Helpers for working with locations
• Helpers for working with Parcels. Mainly encoding/decoding more safely, preserving null status of properties.
• ActivityResultHelper for simplifying starting activities with result codes (No more spaghetti code in MainActivity...)
• RuntimePermissionHelper for simplifying permission requests on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
• SpannableStringBuilderEx with more help adding spannables
• CustomTypefaceSpannable for having a SpannableString with real custom TypeFaces
• Controls that support custom typefaces for (ButtonEx, EditTextEx, TextViewEx)
• A SwipeRefreshLayout subclass that makes setRefreshing(...) more safe, deferring until after onMeasure is called.
• Animations for resizing a View or a PopupView, instead of relative scaling
• More stuff! Just explore tha package...

Have fun and a good luck with your projects!
