（4.6.11.2）Android LayoutCast 初探

今天无意间看见了一个神器，顿时让我血气蓬勃！ 废话不多说，先上网址：https://github.com/mmin18/LayoutCast

 

把代码和资源文件的改动直接同步到手机上，应用不需要重启。省去了编译运行漫长的等待，比较适合真机调试的时候使用。

 

  

先看看视频：

Benchmark

Here is how it compared to Gradle and Facebook Buck:

The test machine is a 2015 MBP with a 2014 MotoX.

The test project's apk is about 14.3MB, which contains 380k lines of java code and 86k lines of xml files.

About Facebook Buck

Facebook Buck http://github.com/facebook/buck also build very fast. In some cases it's faster than LayoutCast due to it's multi-process build.

The biggest problem is Buck requires you change a lot of code, and restruct your project in small modules. It's quiet painful to make it work on existing project, especially big ones. I tried to use Buck on the test project, which took me a week just to make it run.

What I needs is a build tool that is easy to setup, fast as Buck, and provide a Run button in AndroidStudio. So I created LayoutCast.

LayoutCast only support Mac (for now) ; Cast Java code only support ART runtime (Android 5.0)

目前仅支持Mac系统及Android5.0系统

 

好了，看完之后是不是倍感兴奋呢，下面 博主带一波节奏：

 主要事情说三遍： 需要Python环境  需要Python环境   需要Python环境

先下载：https://github.com/mmin18/LayoutCast/raw/master/ide/IDEAPlugin/IDEAPlugin.jar 

然后打开AndroidStudio的Setting页面，选择Plugins ，Install plugin from disk...

 

安装完成后，会提示重启AndroidStudio来安装插件。

重启后，会发现多了一个图标，这就是咱们LayoutCast的Run键了。

 

接下来，在你的项目下的build.gradle下添加

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.mmin18.layoutcast:library:1.+@aar'
    ...
}

Application 中注册

public class MyApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            LayoutCast.init(this);
        }
    }
}

在AndroidManifest.xml里加入

<application
    android:name=".MyApplication"
    .../> 

<activity android:name="com.github.mmin18.layoutcast.ResetActivity" /> 
<!--权限-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

然后直接Run项目在Android5.0手机系统下，项目在手机上跑起来后，就可以适时调整了啦~

每次修改代码后，点击，手机端回黑屏，显示 Cast DEX in 2 second...  如图

电脑端则会显示

之后 新的代码就可以跑在手机上了，不需要重新编译App 安装App ，每次只需要1秒哟，速度与激情~
