Shortbread Versions Save

• Improve: Shortbread is now an isolating annotation processor, which improves the performance of incremental annotation processing. Before, the processor type was aggregating and it would generate a single class ShortbreadGenerated. Now it generates one class for each activity that contains shortcuts, e.g. MoviesActivity_Shortcuts. The generated classes are still only used by the library itself, the consumer does not interact with them.
• Improve: Shortcut methods/functions don't have to be public anymore. Any visibility higher than private is enough.
• Fix: When using R2, resource values sometimes were not properly read when the incremental annotation processing was incremental
• New: The module :sample-library shows how to use Shortbread in a library module

• New: Shortbread is now initialized automatically using App Startup
• Deprecated: Shortbread.create(context) - no need to call this anymore as the shortcuts are set automatically during app startup
• Fix: Resource values sometimes were not properly read when the incremental annotation processing was incremental
• Improve: ActivityLifecycleCallbacks will not be registered if there are no method shortcuts

• New: Support for non-final resource IDs. See README.md for detailed usage instructions.
• Update: androidx.annotation:annotation to 1.1.0
• Update: Android Gradle plugin to 4.1.2
• Migrated publishing from JCenter to Maven Central

• New: Support for incremental annotation processing
• Switch from Support annotations library to androidx.annotation
• Java 8 is now required
• Minimum SDK increased from 9 to 14 (app shortcuts are still not available before 25)
• Update: Android Gradle plugin to 3.6.4
• Some small changes to bring everything to 2020

• Fix: Annotated methods are called before onCreate() (#13)

• Update: Support annotations library to 26.0.2. This requires the new Google Maven Repository:

    google()
  

  or

    maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }
  

• Fix: Shortbread.create(context) can now also be called if there are no @Shortcut annotations in the code, which before produced a crash. Previously created shortcuts are now removed.
• Fix: Internal NullPointerException when an activity containing method shortcuts is not launched via a method shortcut
• Add Javadoc for the public API
