Android Arch Lifecycle management of Koin Context.

[TonicArtos]

A lifecycle observer that can release the Koin Context and a couple of extension functions to make it easier to use.

---

I thought I'd just quickly crib this together from one of my projects and push it out here, in case it is useful for you or anybody following the project. The idea is to use the new Android Lifecycle Components to release the Koin context, retaining the flexibility of the existing approach. The only trouble is that it adds further dependencies to the project plus the use of the annotations processor.

Usage

class MainActivity : FragmentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)


        manageContext("MainActivityContext")


    }
}

manageContext can be called with an optional parameter to set which lifecycle event releases the context.

Please feel free to let me know what you think.

Hello,

the koin-android module address only main Android features. I try to keep it as simple as possible. I'm thinking about a dedicated module for Android architecture components.

[TonicArtos]

Okay, that sounds reasonable. Thanks for letting me know.

[arnaudgiuliani]

Yeah, I keep it opened. I will tell you how it can be included in one of the next releases.

Hello,

you can check the last release (0.8.0), about bringing a ViewModel factory to Android architecture API

[TonicArtos]

I'll do that in a few days. Just hopping in and out of trains and planes at the moment. Okay, commented on the Koin view model API with issue #37.
