Caffeine: An Open Source Library to Speed Up Android Development (percolate.com)

It sounds like what every dev has sitting somewhere in an 'utils' module.

Even if I did not already have 95% of this in my codebase, I don't know if I would use it. For many of these methods (like the launchActivity one) I would need to have a look at the code in order to check how it is coded (in the activity case, which flags they are using).

Not to mention that I think that you should own as much of your codebase as you can. There are things like EventBus, Dagger or Glide that solve complex issues and where you have to rely on the community. Caffeine is not one of these.


This looks great, I'm in the process of developing my mvp on android, the java development process has been quite a drag, to say the least. I'm looking forward to giving this a try.
