Setup

To add this extension all you have to do is add the following dependency:

implementation 'com.femastudios:dataflow-android:1.0.6'

Also you'll need to add the following compile and packaging options:

android {
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
        freeCompilerArgs += '-Xjvm-default=enable'
    }
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module'
    }
}

Remember also to add our server to the repositories, as explained here

Since our libraries contain a lot of methods it is suggested to use Proguard to automatically remove the ones you don't use.

To enable proguard:

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
    debug {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules-debug.pro'
    }
}

Also, add these lines to your proguard-rules-debug.pro if you want to keep seeing methods and class names during debug:

-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable
-keepattributes LocalVariableTable,LocalVariableTypeTable
-keepnames class ** { *; }

If even after applying Proguard you still exceed the Android™'s limited 64K number of methods you should enable multidexing.
