BoilerDroid lets Android developers use jQuery's programming style, providing these main benefits:

• Notion of class and id for layout Views
• jQuery-like selectors to work with multiple elements at a time
• Concise syntax and method chaining
• Boilerplate removal for various use cases

Examples:

// Selectors, method chaining, and convenience methods
$(".status").text("username unavailable").textColor("red").show();

// Switch Activities easily
$(MyActivity.class).data("auth_token", "xxxxxx").start();

Download the BoilerDroid repository as a zip, tar, or clone.

Import /library into Eclipse as an Android Library Project. (?)

Link to BoilerDroid as an Android Library in your own Project. (?)

Modify all Activities in your project to extend BoilerActivity.

Use the $( ... ) function to start making cool things.

Coming soon...
