   $ drone search rxjava                      # Searches the hive for 'rxjava'
   $ drone test picasso                       # Tests the library by fetching its version

Install

npm install -g drone

What is it?

As an android developer I was jealous of the node.js community for their fast and reliable dependency managers, it's so easy to write yarn add <library> and a library is imported into the project... So I made drone for android!

If you think about it there are like 50 libraries that are used in 95% of the apps (retrofit, rxjava, gson, picasso, roboletric, recyclerview-v7, etc.)

I made this because every time I want to add (lets say) butterknife I need to

  1. google butterknife
  2. go to the readme
  3. find the lines to copy
  4. notice that butterknife has 2 dependencies
  5. copy and paste in my gradle file
  6. OPTIONAL if it was not in jcenter, go to the main build gradle and put the custom URL

OR...

drone add butterknife

and everything will be done for you automatically

Where are the libraries?

Instead of maintaining a server with all the possible libraries I'm going with a brew approach, the community will create a library once and it will be available to everyone else forever in the hive!

Follow the instructions to create the <library>.json file then open the pull request in the hive
