Swift Foundation Guide
Use Swift Foundation on iOS and Android with the exact same Swift code
Introduction
Using the Swift Foundation on Android is easy.
Just use the exact same code as you do on iOS.
UgFoundation Examples
Please find the example code here https://github.com/scadedoc/UgExamples/tree/master/UgSwiftFoundationDemo
SCADE translated the entire Swift Foundation framework to the Android ecosystem and you can use it the exact same way as you use it on iOS. Here are are few samples to get you started.
For more information on our journey of building Swift Foundation for Android, see the medium article here https://medium.com/@SCADE/swift-foundation-4-0-for-android-b6274fb9c322
Swift Foundation Examples
Use exactly the same code on iOS and Android. There are no differences in code. Sometimes, there are minor changes in how it works on the different platforms.
Making an HTTP request
Again, the code is 100% the same for iOS and Android:
class HttpClientSample {
let plainTextData = "SCADE plain text data"
let jsonData =
"""
{
"SimpleData" : [
1,2,3]
}
"""
func postSample() -> Bool {
// define target
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/post")!
//create the session object
let session = URLSession.shared
//now create the URLRequest object using the url object
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
// set to post - don't know why apple guys didn't use constants
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = plainTextData.data(using: .utf8)
// create task
let task = session.dataTask(with:request,completionHandler: { data, response, error in
print(response!)
print("executed task successfully")
let str = String(data: data!, encoding: .utf8)
print(str!)
})
// Resume task to execute it
task.resume()
return true
}
}
Using Date
Again, the code is 100% the same for iOS and Android:
import Foundation
class DateDemo {
func testDistantFuture() -> Bool {
// check working of distanceFuture
let d = Date.distantFuture
let now = Date()
return d > now
}
}
