Proteus is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Android’s LayoutInflater; but unlike the compiled XML layouts bundled in the APK, Proteus inflates layouts at runtime. With Proteus, you can control your Apps layout from the backend (no WebViews). Forget the boilerplate code to findViewById, cast it to a TextView, and then setText(). Proteus has runtime data bindings and formatters. Plugin in your own custom views and attributes and functions to flavour proteus to your requirements.

Features

  • Instead of writing layouts in XML, in proteus layouts are described in JSON
  • The JSON layouts can be hosted anywhere (on the device, on servers, etc.)
  • The Layout defines the the view heirarchy, just like XML
  • The Data (optional) defines data bindings. These data bindings are similar to Android's Data Binding library
  • Give the layout and data to ProteusLayoutInflater and get back a native view hierarchy
  • The demo app will let you play around with proteus as well as help you understand the internals better
