This repo is a collection of sample data that you can use in your project.It also contains examples on how to improve preview of your layout.
Add following code into yourbuild.gradle.
clean.doFirst { println "cleanSamples" def samplesDir = new File(projectDir.absolutePath, "sampledata") if (samplesDir.exists()) { samplesDir.deleteDir() }} preBuild.doFirst { println "fetchSamplesStarted" def samplesDir = new File(projectDir.absolutePath, "sampledata") if (samplesDir.exists()) { println "samples dir already exists" return } samplesDir.mkdir() def files = ["lotr.json", "starwars.json", "hitchhikers.json", "developers.json"] for(fileName in files) { def names = new File(samplesDir, fileName) new URL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VladimirWrites/tools-sample/master/sampledata/$fileName").withInputStream { i -> names.withOutputStream { it << i } } println "fetchSample: $fileName" } println "fetchSamplesEnded"}
After you rebuild your project, you will have files defined infiles array in yoursampledata folder.Now you can use the sample data in your layout like this:
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" tools:text="@sample/lotr.json/characters/name" />
