ChangeLog Library

ChangeLog Library provides an easy way to display a change log in your Android app.

Screen


Feature

ChangeLog Library provides a custom ListView to display a change log through a xml file.

  • it supports multi language
  • you can use it in Activities, Fragments, Dialogs
  • it supports html text markup as bold and italics
  • you can customize layout and behaviour

Usage

Implementing this library in your own apps is pretty simple.
First, you need an XML layout that will contain the ChangeLogListView that displays your changelog.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <view xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       xmlns:chg="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
       class="it.gmariotti.changelibs.library.view.ChangeLogListView"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"
       android:id="@+id/view"
       />

Then, you need a XML file with change log in res/raw folder. It automatically searches for res/raw/changelog.xml but you can customize filename.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<changelog bulletedList="true">

    <changelogversion versionName="1.0" changeDate="Aug 26,2013">
            <changelogtext>Initial release.</changelogtext>
    </changelogversion>

    <changelogversion versionName="0.9" changeDate="Aug 11,2013">
        <changelogtext>[b]New![/b] Add new attrs to customize header and row layout</changelogtext>
        <changelogtext>Fixed log while parsing </changelogtext>
        <changelogtext>Add support for html markup</changelogtext>
        <changelogtext>Add bullet point in </changelogtext>
        <changelogtext>Support for customized xml filename</changelogtext>
    </changelogversion>

</changelog>

Last, if you would like a multi language changelog, you just have to put the translated files changelog.xml in the appropriate folders res/raw-xx/.
