How to use

Have a look at the demo app (app module) for a complete sample.

Gradle

To use this library just include it in your dependencies using

repositories {
    ...
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

in your project build.gradle file and

dependencies {
    ...

    def codeEditorVersion = "v4.0.1"
    implementation("com.github.markusressel:KodeEditor:${codeEditorVersion}")
}

in your desired module build.gradle file.

Add to your layout

To use this editor simply add something similar to this to your desired layout xml file:

<de.markusressel.kodeeditor.library.view.CodeEditorLayout
        android:id="@+id/codeEditorView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:ke_divider_color="?android:attr/textColorPrimary"
        app:ke_divider_enabled="true"
        app:ke_editor_backgroundColor="?android:attr/windowBackground"
        app:ke_editor_maxZoom="10.0"
        app:ke_lineNumbers_backgroundColor="#ccc"
        app:ke_lineNumbers_textColor="#000"
        app:ke_minimap_enabled="true"
        app:ke_minimap_maxDimension="200dp"
        app:ke_minimap_borderColor="#000"
        app:ke_minimap_indicatorColor="#f00"
        />

Syntax highlighting

Language Autodetection

Currently there is no auto detection for the language used in a document. You have to manage the syntax highlighter yourself and call the setSyntaxHighlighter method when appropriate.

Integrated syntax highlighters

Have a look at the KodeHighlighter section about this.

Writing a custom syntax highlighter

Have a look at the KodeHighlighter section about this.

Styling

KodeEditor can be styled in multiple ways:

  1. xml attributes on KodeEditor
  2. theme attributes in your custom theme
  3. methods on the view object itself

Theme Attributes

Name Description Type Default
ke_lineNumbers_textColor Specifies the text color of line numbers Color android.R.attr.textColorPrimary
ke_lineNumbers_backgroundColor Specifies the background color of the line numbers view Color android.R.attr.windowBackground
ke_divider_enabled Specifies if a divider should be drawn between line numbers and the actual code editor content Boolean true
ke_divider_color Specifies the color of the divider (has no effect if ke_divider_enabled is set to false) Color android.R.attr.textColorPrimary
ke_editor_backgroundColor Specifies the background color of the code editor view Color android.R.attr.windowBackground
ke_editor_maxZoom Specifies the maximum zoom level of the editor Float 10
ke_minimap_enabled Enables the minimap Boolean true
ke_minimap_maxDimension Specifies the maximum dimension of the minimap for both axis Dimension 150dp
ke_minimap_borderColor Specifies the border color of the minimap Color Color.BLACK
ke_minimap_indicatorColor Specifies the color of the minimap indicator Color Color.RED

You can either use those attributes directly on the view in your layout like this:

<de.markusressel.kodeeditor.library.view.CodeEditorView
    android:id="@+id/codeEditorView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    [...]
    app:ke_divider_color="?android:attr/textColorPrimary"
    app:ke_divider_enabled="true"
    app:ke_editor_backgroundColor="?android:attr/windowBackground"
    app:ke_editor_maxZoom="10.0"
    app:ke_lineNumbers_backgroundColor="#ccc"
    app:ke_lineNumbers_textColor="#000"
    app:ke_minimap_enabled="true"
    app:ke_minimap_maxDimension="200dp" 
    app:ke_divider="true"
    [...] />

or specify them in your application theme (styles.xml in dem app) for to apply a style globally:

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Other theme attributes of your application -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

        <!-- CodeEditorView -->
        <item name="ke_lineNumbers_backgroundColor">#ccc</item>
        <item name="ke_lineNumbers_textColor">#000</item>
        <item name="ke_divider_enabled">false</item>
        <item name="ke_divider_color">#000</item>
        <item name="ke_editor_backgroundColor">#fff</item>
        <item name="ke_editor_maxZoom">10.0</item>
        <item name="ke_editor_followCursor">true</item>
        <item name="ke_minimap_enabled">true</item>
        <item name="ke_minimap_maxDimension">200dp</item>
        [...]
         
    </style>

</resources>

APIs

All styling attributes can also be specified using code. Since KodeEditorLayout is just a wrapper to extend the CodeEditorView with line numbers and the minimap to use some of those methods you need to access the matching property of the KodeEditorLayout first.

KodeEditorLayout

Name Description Type
text Sets the given text in the editor. String
setText(@StringRes) Sets the given string resource as the text in the editor. Int
languageRuleBook Gets/Sets the active language rule book used for highlighting. Use null to disable highlighting altogether. LanguageRuleBook?
editable Gets/Sets if the editor content is editable. Boolean

Line numbers

Name Description Type
showDivider Gets/Sets if the divider between line numbers and code editor is shown. Boolean
lineNumberGenerator Sets text to show for line number based on total number of lines (Long) -> List

CodeEditorView

To acces these API methods use the codeEditorLayout.codeEditorView property.
