Scala Android Crud

This is a framework for writing Android Apps using Scala that need entity operations (i.e. CRUD). It is open source so that the community can collaborate to enhance it to make it feature-rich, yet simple to use, and enable high productivity in developing Android Apps.

Features

• ListActivity and Activity implemented for you for each Entity.
  • Menu button support for ListActivity (not yet for Activity)
  • Context menu support for ListActivity
• SQLite Database auto-generated based on Entity definition in Scala.
• Backup and Restore using Google Backup Service supported for Entity data.
• Foreign Keys supported between Entities
  • Default navigation included between them.
  • They are great for narrowing results as well.
• Generated data supported, with access to existing Entities.
• Uses Robolectric for unit tests.
• Uses Scala 2.8 and Maven

Getting Started

• Install Android SDK.
• Install robolectric from [here](https://github.com/epabst/robolectric), following the instructions there.
• Copy the included sample-app as a starting point.
• Edit the pom.xml to put in real values.
• Edit the AndroidManifest.xml to put in real values, including a Google Backup Service key.
• Add the XML layouts to res/layout/.
• Add the strings to res/values/strings.xml.
• Add an icon.png to res/drawable
• Add a XxxApplication object that extends CrudApplication.
• Add a XxxCrudType that extends CrudType. This will require referencing the layouts and strings added above. It will also require creating XxxActivity which extends CrudActivity and XxxListActivity that extends CrudListActivity.
• To build and install it on an Android device, run this command:
  

  mvn clean package android:undeploy android:deploy

• Contact me with any questions. I should respond within 24 hours. I’ll document the answers to my questions for future reference.
