Improvements : Add custom urls, add open source libraries information about android-about-page HOT 6 CLOSED

Okay Guys,

Well android-about-page was made in a generic way to let developers the full freedom to plug whatever views they like.

To mention third-party libraries, there are many libraries solving exactly this point like :

• https://github.com/PSDev/LicensesDialog by @PSDev
• https://github.com/mikepenz/AboutLibraries by @mikepenz

You could easily add a row Open source libraries and point it the right activity which implement one of libraries mentioned above.

If you'd like to stick with my library, you could also archieve the same result by doing something like :

AboutPage aboutPage = new AboutPage(this);
aboutPage.addGroup("Open Source libraries");

HashMap<String, String> librariesList = new HashMap<>();
librariesList.put("Fancy Buttons", "https://github.com/medyo/Fancybuttons");
librariesList.put("Once", "https://github.com/jonfinerty/Once");
librariesList.put("Android Iconics", "https://github.com/mikepenz/Android-Iconics");

for (Map.Entry<String, String> lib : librariesList.entrySet()) {
    Element libElement = new Element();
    libElement.setTitle(lib.getKey());

    Intent libIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(lib.getValue()));
    libElement.setIntent(libIntent);

    aboutPage.addItem(libElement);
}

View viewAboutPage = aboutPage.create();

Hi @benju69,

What do you mean by 'custom urls', because the current version supports custom url intents ?

Hi @medyo

I think it would be better to use a list of pairs (library name, library URL) like the way Trello is doing it in its About page.
Is this what you mean @benju69 ?

from android-about-page.

Yes! I always credit all the third-party libraries I use on my apps on the About page, it's the least we can do for those developers. And this project is actually a perfect example. It's open-source and we can't even credit it properly.

Please consider this issue for a future version.

Thanks
