Import Aliases

An import alias is basically an alias that will be used to import many packages (and eventually enums), in one commands. Here is the list of import aliases

• hyperpoet to import packages from my Http Client Library
• gmage to import packages from my Image Processing library
• jsoup to import packages from Jsoup
• timeunit to import enums from java TimeUit class
• time to import dates Java classes
• json to import packages from groovy.json
• xml to import packages from groovy.xml
• chart to import classes from the chart library, wrapper of MPAndroidChart
• bitmap to import classes from Android SDK Bitmap

To use one, simply import it like you would import any package:

import gmage

An import alias can have a script that runs when imported to (for example) add some functions in some objects, by using Groovy meta-programming

Here are some example of codes with added functions for some import aliases

Bitmap

You can use android Bitmap class to manipulate images

import bitmap
f = file("image.png")
b = f.toBitmap()
b = b.scaled(105,105)
// default format is PNG
b.writeInto(file("result.png"))
b.writeInto(file("result.png"), JPEG)

Example:

import hyperpoet
API_URL = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/"
client = new HttpPoet(url: API_URL, contentType: ContentType.JSON, acceptContentType: ContentType.JSON)
data = client.get("/posts")
println data.title
