  • it works with a RecyclerView or a ListView
  • it supports html text markup as bold and italics
  • you can customize layout and behaviour
  • it supports multi language
  • it supports API 7+

Doc

See the customisation page: for more information.

Quick Start

ChangeLog Library is pushed to Maven Central as a AAR, so you just need to add the following dependency to your build.gradle.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.changeloglib:changelog:2.1.0'
}

To build the library and demo locally you can see this page for more info.

Usage

Implementing this library in your own apps is pretty simple.
First, add in your layout the ChangeLogRecyclerView that displays your changelog.

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

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/.
