:core:ui

Overview

The :core:ui module contains shared Jetpack Compose components, themes, and utility functions used across the entire Meshtastic Android application. It ensures a consistent look and feel following Material 3 guidelines.

Key Components

1. Alert Dialogs (org.meshtastic.core.ui.component.AlertDialogs.kt)

  • MeshtasticDialog: The base dialog component for all alerts.
  • MeshtasticResourceDialog: Optimized for dialogs with resource-only content.
  • MeshtasticTextDialog: Optimized for dialogs with mixed resource and raw text content.

2. Common UI Elements

  • LastHeardInfo: Displays when a node was last seen.
  • TelemetryInfo: Displays battery, voltage, and other telemetry data.
  • TransportIcon: Shows the connection type (BLE, USB, TCP).
  • MainAppBar: The standard top app bar used in the app.

3. Preferences

Standardized Material 3 preference components for settings screens:

  • RegularPreference
  • SwitchPreference
  • DropDownPreference
  • SliderPreference
  • EditTextPreference

4. Utilities

  • ModifierExtensions.kt: Useful Compose Modifiers (e.g., conditional modifiers).
  • ProtoExtensions.kt: Extensions for mapping Protobuf models to UI-friendly strings or icons.

Usage

Most components are designed to be used with the Compose Multiplatform Resource library for strings.

import org.meshtastic.core.ui.component.MeshtasticResourceDialog
import org.meshtastic.core.resources.Res
import org.meshtastic.core.resources.ok

MeshtasticResourceDialog(
    title = Res.string.your_title,
    message = Res.string.your_message,
    onDismissRequest = { /* ... */ },
    confirmButtonText = Res.string.ok
)
