How to use BaseClass

Hey guys, I just implemented the base class with which we're able to display a footer and use an improved toolbar. We just have to extend all our activities with this class.

1. Usually we extend all our classes with AppCompatActivity. Replace this with BaseActivity (which is already extended by AppCompatActivity).
2. BaseActivity is an abstract class. You have to implement getLayoutID and getLayoutTitleDescriptor. getLayoutID has to return the R.layout.youractivitylayout. getLayoutTitleDescriptor has to return the R.string.youactivitytitle.
3. Remove everything from onCreate which inflates the graphic layout (e.g. setContentView). This is done by the BaseClass already.
4. If u used the "parentClass" setting in the manifest before, just remove it.

Here you can see a very basic implementation. All your buttons and whatever else you wanna do, has to be done in onCreate as always.

package innolab.pallicare;
import android.os.Bundle;
import innolab.pallicare.ui.BaseActivity;
public class QuestionnaireActivity extends BaseActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }
    @Override
    protected int getLayoutID() {
        return R.layout.activity_questionnaire;
    }
    @Override
    protected int getLayoutTitleDescriptor() {
        return R.string.questionnaire_activity_title;
    }
}
