io.codetail library removal from the project and included as a dependency

[Seishin]

The included library io.codetail was removed from the project and is added as a dependency in build.gradle.

[Seishin]

The main idea behind moving the CircularReveal library as a dependency is that it conflicts with other libs that use it when it's just included as a source library in the projects.

Thanks for doing this! It's definitely nicer to have CIrcularReveal handled by Gradle. I think the reason I didn't do this originally is because since CircularReveal needs Jitpack as a maven source, any project using this library would need to include this snippet in their gradle file as well (which might not be that big of a deal though):

maven {
    url "https://jitpack.io"
}

[Seishin]

Yeah. But if you have two libs that use that library... They conflict. In my case I have to fork your lib and move the CircularReveal as a dependency in order to make it work fine with the project.

[gowong]

It's possible to workaround that by excluding the CircularReveal dependency from the other libraries that are including it. For example:

compile("org.gradle.test.excludes:api:1.0") {
     exclude module: 'shared'
}

+1 on this, this is really much needed - otherwise I can't use this library.

[gowong]

@jossiwolf Have you tried excluding the module in your build.gradle? See my comment above yours

[jossiwolf]

@gowong Yes, I have.

compile('com.gordonwong:material-sheet-fab:1.2.1') {
        exclude module: 'io.codetail.widget'
        exclude module: 'io.codetail.animaton'
}

This doesn't work. Doesn't work with group: 'io.codetail' or module: 'io.codetail' either.

I think exclude only works for Gradle dependencies - you haven't added CircularReveal via Gradle which is why we can't exclude it:

+--- com.gordonwong:material-sheet-fab:1.2.1
|    \--- com.github.asyl.animation:arcanimator:1.0.0
|         \--- com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0

Edit: I included Seishin's fork instead now, which has Circular Reveal as dependency. It uses version 1.3.1, but I'm using version 2.0.1. Exclude works here:

compile('com.github.Seishin:material-sheet-fab:+') {
        exclude module: 'io.codetail'
}
compile('com.github.ozodrukh:CircularReveal:2.0.1') {
        transitive = true;
}

+--- com.github.Seishin:material-sheet-fab:+ -> v1.2.2
|    +--- com.github.asyl.animation:arcanimator:1.0.0
|    |    \--- com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0
|    \--- com.github.ozodrukh:CircularReveal:1.3.1 -> 2.0.1
+--- com.github.ozodrukh:CircularReveal:2.0.1

As you see, it is a necessity to include any library possible via gradle because it gives more flexibility. If you already include jitpack.io as repository in your libraries build.gradle, the user doesn't have to include it by himself.

[gowong]

@jossiwolf You're right, the dependency has to be in gradle, which is why I suggested to exclude Circular Reveal from the other libraries.

It's a temporary workaround that likely won't work in all cases. I'm not sure when I'll have time to do this so feel free to submit a PR (this current one has comments that need to be addressed)

[jossiwolf]

Sure, will do.
