What is the usage of android arouter?
ARouter is a routing framework used in Android applications for navigating between pages and passing parameters. It helps developers manage the navigation between activities more easily and supports passing and retrieving parameters.
Here is the usage of ARouter:
- Add the dependency of ARouter in the build.gradle file of the project.
implementation 'com.alibaba:arouter-api:x.x.x'
- To initialize ARouter, initialize it in the onCreate method of the Application.
ARouter.init(this);
- Define routing table: Add @Route annotation to the Activity that needs to perform page navigation, in order to define the routing table, for example:
@Route(path = "/main/activity")
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
// ...
}
- Navigate to a new page: Use the ARouter API for page navigation, for example:
ARouter.getInstance().build("/main/activity").navigation();
- Passing parameters: Parameters can be passed using the with method of ARouter, for example:
ARouter.getInstance().build("/main/activity")
.withString("key", "value")
.navigation();
- Accessing parameters: In the target Activity, you can retrieve the passed parameters through the ARouter API, for example:
String value = getIntent().getStringExtra("key");
By following these steps, developers can use ARouter to simplify the navigation logic between pages in Android applications by enabling page transitions and parameter passing.
