LiME is an Android App based on its homonymous blog. It was created to show live demos of tutorials created on the blog.

This App is basically a visual quick helper to detect tutorials you may be interested in and easily find its implementation. Main Activity contains a link to the blog and to this page. Each tutorial also has a link to its written version.

LiME Creative Labs blog is written in Spanish, but is easy to understand using a tool like Google Translate. If you don't like this option, source code is well documented an organized. A package has been created for each tutorial, so the code is isolated.

This App will be updated on every new tutorial added. What you can currently find:

• Sliding Pane Layout: An example of SlidingPaneLayout implementation, another new layout from Support Library r13.

• Drawer Layout: An example of Drawer Layout implementation, optimized to be used with ActionBarSherlock.

• Action Bar Refresh: when the user clicks the Refresh Button, an indeterminate ProgressBar is shown until the operation is performed.

• Test connectivity status live: A broadcast receiver intercepts connectivity changes and updates the UI.

• Action Bar Search: A search action lets the user search for something by showing a textbox on Action Bar.

• Multiple selection in ListView using ActionBarSherlock: Implementation of multiple selection using a SelectionAdapter.

It is recommended to use maven to compile this project. Download the project and import to your IDE as a maven project. You will need to add listviewanimations jar to your local maven repository. If you are on a Unix shell, just run the provided installDependencies.sh script.

If you want to use it as a regular Android project, go to the dependencies section and download those projects as libraries or jars to the build path.
