Introduce

An android application is consist of data and view.

In most cases, we need

We followed the following principles to make data managing powerful :

1. Using the global manager to manage all data.
2. Using DataProvider to keep data.
3. Using DataFetcher to fetch data.
4. Using DataObserver to watch data change.
5. Manager release the data when not used.

Requirements

CornerStone supports Android 4.0 (Ice Cream).

*Tips: Exactly, Cornerstone can be used in the platforms below 14 if you edit the build.gradle, but I don't recommend to do that. *

Using Cornerstone

1.Import framework

If you are building with gradle, please add the following line to the dependencies section of your build.gradle file:

compile 'com.kifile.android.cornerstone:Cornerstone:1.3'

2.Register DataProvider Before Use It

We use the Cornerstone to manage all the DataProviders. It means that you shouldn't create a new DataProvider by yourself.

The right way to get a DataProvider is registering a DataProvider in your Cornerstone, then obtaining it from the method obtainProvider(KEY) in GlobalDataProviderManager.

I suggested registering in your Application class like the followings:

public class App extends Application {
	
	static {
		Cornerstone.registerProvider(EXAMPLE_KEY, ExampleDataProvider.class);
	}
	
}

3.Use DataProvider

DataProvider is the place where you keep your data.
