Librum

Librum (Latin for Book) is an ePub reader and parser framework written in Kotlin.

This is a fork from FolioReader with the aim of making the library easier to use and maintain. Most of the components have been re-written in accordance with an MVP structure in mind.

Features

Most of the features will remain the same from the FolioReader library, with a couple more additions such as ability to read a book from a remote URL. This is the biggest inspiration of the library re-write.

Usage

To use Librum, you need to call LibrumActivity with following parameters:

1. INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_TYPE - your epub can come from raw or assets folder or from SD card. Use enum LibrumActivity.EpubSourceType.
2. INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_PATH - assets/SD card path of the epub file or raw ID of epub file if epub file is in raw folder

Reading from assets folder

Intent intent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, LibrumActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_TYPE, EpubSourceType.ASSESTS);
intent.putExtra(INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_PATH, "epub/The Silver Chair.epub");
startActivity(intent);

Reading from raw folder of resources

Intent intent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, LibrumActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_TYPE, EpubSourceType.RAW);
intent.putExtra(INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_PATH, R.raw.adventures);
startActivity(intent);

For reading from SD card, just retrieve absolute path of epub file and pass that in INTENT_EPUB_SOURCE_PATH.
