Overview

BoilerDroid lets Android developers use jQuery's programming style, providing these main benefits:

• Notion of class and id for layout Views
• jQuery-like selectors to work with multiple elements at a time
• Concise syntax and method chaining
• Boilerplate removal for various use cases

Examples:

// Selectors, method chaining, and convenience methods
$(".status").text("username unavailable").textColor("red").show();

// Switch Activities easily
$(MyActivity.class).data("auth_token", "xxxxxx").start();

Installation

Download the BoilerDroid repository as a zip, tar, or clone.

Link to BoilerDroid as an Android Library in your own Project. (?)

Step 2: Start using BoilerDroid in your project

Use the $( ... ) function to start making cool things.
