Refactor Internal Setter smell in AmbilWarnaDialog class #204

Closed emaiannone closed 4 years ago

emaiannone commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'm Emanuele Iannone, a master student at University of Salerno. Since my bachelor's thesis I have been working on a code smell refactoring plugin called aDoctor, which is able to identify and fix energy-related problems in Android apps. I launched it on your project, finding different instances of code smells. I chose one of them and let the plugin automatically fix it. In this case I chose Internal Setter, that is present when non static method calls a setter method of an instance variable instead of directly changing its value. These kind of smell may have a non trivial impact on energy consumption, as shown in this paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950584918301678. Besides, this kind of refactoring does not impact on the functionalities of your app, so it is totally safe. Let me know if you are interested in this refactoring proposal.
