Other features

[dovahkiin98]

I am very glad to see Kotlin so important to you, and I would kindly like to request features :

1- Create intents quickly
example:
Activity.intentTo(Class<T : Activity>, vararg extras) Activity.startActivity<MainUI>()

2- Use fragments faster
example:
supportFragmentManager.transaction { }

3- Create Toasts and Snackbars quickly
example:
View.showSnackbar(message: String, actionListener: () -> Unit)

4- Add actions to Widgets
examples:
EditText.isBlank() EditText.onTextChanged { }

5- Easier AsyncTasks and AsyncLoaders
example:
doAsync { }

There are many great extensions in the Anko-Kotlin library, please try to make use of such a great Library.

That is it for now, thank you for reading and hope to see the release version soon

1. See Extensions for startActivity methods #189
2. Framework Fragment will be deprecated in the next Android version (see Add FragmentManager extension for transactions #161 (comment)), and this library does not deal with the Support Libraries or the Architecture Components
3. See Toast extensions on Context #143, there is nothing for Snackbar yet
4. See Add TextView listeners extensions #151
5. Nothing yet

Feel free to send a PR for the open points ;)

For 5 something based on coroutines would make more sense.

Making separate issues for each point would allow a proper discussion.

@MGaetan89 even Snackbar comes under support library, So i assume thats not in features list. please correct me if assumption is incorrect.

As said above, these should be separate issues and we already have some for the things you listed.
