Switch Activity / Fragment / FragmentManager implementation from native framework to support library APIs
BREAKING CHANGE:
NativeScript core framework now extends support library APIs versus native framework classes as per Google's latest guidelines:
- NativeScript activities now extend `android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity` (vs android.app.Activity)
- NativeScript fragments now extend `android.support.v4.app.Fragment` (vs android.app.Fragment)
- NativeScript now works internally with `android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager` (vs android.app.FragmentManager)
The implications of these changes should be mostly transparent to the developer except for the fact that the support library Fragment / FragmentManager work with Animation APIs versus Animator APIs.
For Android API Levels lower than 28 the new Fragment API uses a different fragment enter animation by default. You can customise the transition per navigation entry or globally via the [navigation transitions API](https://docs.nativescript.org/core-concepts/navigation#navigation-transitions)
Before:
Default fragment enter animation was fade animation
After:
Default fragment enter animation for API levels lower than 28 is now a fast "push fade" animation; default fragment enter animation for API levels equal to or greater than 28 remains fade animation
Before:
AndroidFragmentCallbacks interface exposed the following `onCreateAnimator(...)` method
``` ts
export interface AndroidFragmentCallbacks {
onCreateAnimator(fragment: any, transit: number, enter: boolean, nextAnim: number, superFunc: Function): any;
// ...
}
```
After:
AndroidFragmentCallbacks interface now exposes the following `onCreateAnimation(...)` method instead (and `onCreateAnimator(...)` is now removed)
``` ts
export interface AndroidFragmentCallbacks {
onCreateAnimation(fragment: any, transit: number, enter: boolean, nextAnim: number, superFunc: Function): any;
// ...
}
```
Before:
Transition class exposed the following abstract `createAndroidAnimator(...)` method
``` ts
export class Transition {
public createAndroidAnimator(transitionType: string): any;
// ...
}
```
After:
Transition class now exposes the following abstract `createAndroidAnimation(...)` method instead (and `createAndroidAnimation(...) is now removed)
``` ts
export class Transition {
public createAndroidAnimation(transitionType: string): any;
// ...
}
```
To migrate the code of your custom transitions follow the example below:
Before:
``` ts
import * as transition from "tns-core-modules/ui/transition";
export class CustomTransition extends transition.Transition {
constructor(duration: number, curve: any) {
super(duration, curve);
}
public createAndroidAnimator(transitionType: string): android.animation.Animator {
var scaleValues = Array.create("float", 2);
switch (transitionType) {
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.enter:
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.popEnter:
scaleValues[0] = 0;
scaleValues[1] = 1;
break;
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.exit:
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.popExit:
scaleValues[0] = 1;
scaleValues[1] = 0;
break;
}
var objectAnimators = Array.create(android.animation.Animator, 2);
objectAnimators[0] = android.animation.ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(null, "scaleX", scaleValues);
objectAnimators[1] = android.animation.ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(null, "scaleY", scaleValues);
var animatorSet = new android.animation.AnimatorSet();
animatorSet.playTogether(objectAnimators);
var duration = this.getDuration();
if (duration !== undefined) {
animatorSet.setDuration(duration);
}
animatorSet.setInterpolator(this.getCurve());
return animatorSet;
}
}
```
After:
``` ts
import * as transition from "tns-core-modules/ui/transition";
export class CustomTransition extends transition.Transition {
constructor(duration: number, curve: any) {
super(duration, curve);
}
public createAndroidAnimation(transitionType: string): android.view.animation.Animation {
const scaleValues = [];
switch (transitionType) {
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.enter:
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.popEnter:
scaleValues[0] = 0;
scaleValues[1] = 1;
break;
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.exit:
case transition.AndroidTransitionType.popExit:
scaleValues[0] = 1;
scaleValues[1] = 0;
break;
}
const animationSet = new android.view.animation.AnimationSet(false);
const duration = this.getDuration();
if (duration !== undefined) {
animationSet.setDuration(duration);
}
animationSet.setInterpolator(this.getCurve());
animationSet.addAnimation(
new android.view.animation.ScaleAnimation(
scaleValues[0],
scaleValues[1],
scaleValues[0],
scaleValues[1]
));
return animationSet;
}
}
```
* feat: add option to set a different root view at run time
* feat: expose application getRootView method
* refactor: Introduce ViewEntry interface
* fix: Respect root view rturned from launch event in Android
* refactor: getRootView() code + caching root view per activity.
* refactor: add app-root.xml in apps
* refactor: http test made async
iOS layout positioning now respects native properties like automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets, edgesForExtendedLayout, extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars, navigationBar.translucent, tabBar.translucent
Removed frame-tests.ios.ts - those tests are now invalid
Added new layout tests inside page-tests.ios.ts
Commented few asserts in scroll-view-tests
View now expose ios namespace with layoutView method and UILayoutViewController used by page, tab-view and application module
ViewBase now expose viewController property that should be set from all widgets that are using viewcontrollers internally (like Page, Frame, TabView)
ViewBase now sets ios property to either the view returned from createNativeView or to nativeViewProptected
fragment.transitions now use animation/transition start to add fragments to waitingQueue. Before we did it manually in navigate/goBack. This way we can reuse the fragment.transition when calling showDialog. Also when animation/transition ends we check the animation/transition to see if this fragment should be set as current.
Frame expose new loadViewFromEntry method (to load a view from URI)
Frame navigation happens once frame is loaded
Frame now supports Page as a child in XML
Fixed GridLayout row, rowSpan, column, columnSpan properties type
Fixed bug in GridLayout where add/remove of columns/rows won't update the internal state of the grid (backport from android when GridLayout is recycled)
ListView will no longer invalidate layout when cell is removed
Fixed bug in ScrollView ios where effectiveMinWidth/Height was multiplied to density (it is already on device pixels so no need to multiply)
TabView android now calls loaded only on the selected child (not all)
Core refactoring
* backgroundImage property now use Fetcher & Cache as Image component
Fix GridLayout tests on iPhone Plus - actualLength wasn’t rounded
ImageCache is closed when activity is stopped
* Fix reset of background drawable.
* additional check for drawable
* imageCache init cache on activity Started
* Fix action-bar systemIcon
Fix CSS applying
* refactoring
* fix console
* remove StyleScope import - it is private and cannot be imported in public .d.ts
Fixes name clashes and uses Node-compatible typings where possible.
Changes:
- setTimout et al now return NodeJS.Timer instead of number
- No "console" module anymore. Everyone uses it through global.console
anyway.
- We have a typed "global" instance with exposed properties now. Any
"freeform" accesses must go through a `(<any>global).blah` cast.
- remove tns-core-modules.{base,es6,es2015}.d.ts. Those were needed
as workarounds for the ES6/DOM/Node type clashes.
