ContentView is a library to simplify loading content such as Images, Gifs, Videos, Albums, from websites such as Imgur, Gfycat, and Streamable. It consists of 2 modular components that can be used together or independently.
ContentLinkHandlerconverts urls to sites such as Imgur, Gfycat, Streamable, etc intoContentby calling the respective APIs and mapping the responses intoContentitems.ContentViewis an AndroidViewthat supports loading different types ofContentwith the help of libraries such asGlide,ExoPlayer,ViewPager2, etc.
Both ContentLinkHandler and ContentView follow a similar structure.
Content Link Handlers must implement the ContentLinkHandler interface that contains a function that returns whether the ContentLinkHandler can handle a certain url and another function that converts the url into a Content item, usually by making some sort of HTTP Request. Then, all the individual ContentLinkHandlers (eg StreamableContentLinkHandler, ImgurContentLinkHandler) are combined using AbstractCompositeContentLinkHandler which itself implements the same ContentLinkHandler interface but handles content links using the individual ContentLinkHandlers.
Similarily, Content Views must implement the ContentHandler interface that contains a function that returns whether the ContentHandler can show some Content and another function that shows the Content on a View. Then, all the individual ContentHandlers (eg ImageContentHandler, VideoContentHandler) are combined using AbstractCompositeContentHandlerView which itself implements the same ContentHandler interface but handles content using the individual ContentHandlers.
The library is still in early development and I would not recommend using it in production, especially the ContentView component.
