Cleanup + Easy color changing

[alashow]

• Added .gitignore and untracked/removed ignorable files
• Upgraded to AndroidX and changed to the latest targetAPI
• Refactored drawable resources for easy color changing
  • Overriding colors defined in libraries colors.xml will work.
  • Used android:tint in vector resources for color overriding.

You can try it before this gets merged:

Change the dependency:

https://jitpack.io/#alashow/DateRangePicker/1.3.1:

dependencies {
	implementation 'com.github.alashow:DateRangePicker:1.3.1'
}

Override the colors

    <color name="calendar_selected_day_bg">@color/primary</color>
    <color name="calendar_selected_range_bg">@color/primary</color>
    <color name="dateTimeRangePickerStateToday">@color/primary</color>

Resolves: #47, #39, #35, #15

@alashow In https://github.com/alashow/DateRangePicker you write that we can import your fork library with:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.savvi.datepicker:rangepicker:1.2.0'
}

But that is a path to the original library.

After adding maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } and implementation 'com.github.alashow:DateRangePicker:1.3.1' I got several errors during build. As I understood, this library raised minSdk to 15, also uses AndroidX.

After removing an imported library rangedatepicker as a module, removing from build.gradle, changing AndroidManifest:

<uses-sdk tools:overrideLibrary="com.savvi.rangedatepicker" />

<application
    ...
    tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory" android:appComponentFactory="androidx">

I got many errors in build window:

LoginFragment.kt: (120, 17): Unresolved reference. None of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch:

So I have to reference all views from XML in Kotlin with view?.control?.....

But that is a path to the original library.

Yes, I didn't update readme files in this fork.

this library raised minSdk to 15

I didn't change minSdk. It was 15 and it's still 15 in my fork.

also uses AndroidX.
I got many errors in build window:

Yes, as I upgraded to latest support libs. Did you upgrade your project to AndroidX? As far as I know, you can't use a library with AndroidX if you aren't using AndroidX (Jetifier only works the other way).

[CoolMind]

Sorry, you are right, you didn't change to 15. When I imported DateRangePicker last year, I manually changed to 14.

Currently I don't know whether I should upgrade the project to AndroidX. It works without it.

[alashow]

Well, you will have to upgrade in the near future as most libraries started upgrading to it.
Besides, it's not a hard process.

[CoolMind]

I read that 28.0.0 would be the last version of support-libraries, so, you are right, I have to upgrade to AndroidX. Probably it will waste several hours for me. Not only migration, but also testing.

[savvisingh]

Thanks will review the code this coming weekend

[alashow]

@savvisingh this can be improved though: overriding colors via attributes per view and not globally via resources.

[savvisingh]

Yeah that is the ideal approach but for now, I have published the new version with overriding the color values from resource file

how to change the text of date selected?
when a date is clicked, its background color changes to yellow and its text color changes to white....
I don't want to change the text color, it should remain black (as it was earlier)
please help as so as possible.
