How to use this Android DebugKit library

final DevTool.Builder builder = new DevTool.Builder(mContext);

builder.addFunction(new DebugFunction() {
            @Override
            public String call() throws Exception {
                log("doing some stuff...");
                doSomeStuff();
                return "Some stuff was done.";
            }
        }).addFunction(new DebugFunction() {
            @Override
            public String call() throws Exception {
                log("doing some other stuff...");
                doSomeStuff();
                return "Some stuff was done.";
            }
        }).addFunction(new DebugFunction() {
            @Override
            public String call() throws Exception {
                log("doing some stuff again and again...");
                doSomeStuff();
                return "Some stuff was done.";
            }
        });                

// optional, DevToolFragment.DevToolTheme.DARK is set by default
builder.setTheme(DevToolFragment.DevToolTheme.DARK)
       .build();

Result

Here we have 3 debug tools, from top to bottom:

  • LIGHT theme with 5 defined functions
  • Minified mode (clicking on the top left corner arrow)
  • DARK theme with 3 defined functions and the logged text when clicking on each F1, F2 and F3
