  4. It is a tool to ... ◎ Enhance modularity ◎

  14. “ “If you know how to use CSS, Then you

    know how to use AOP” …me @xgouchet
  15. Pointcuts Rules and patterns JoinPoints Positions in the source code

    , defined by … Advices Changes in behavior applied to … Aspects @xgouchet
  16. Wizardry or Witchcraft @Aspect public class PreventNPEAspect { @Pointcut("within(com.example.model.*)") public

    void withinModelClass() {} @Around("withinModelClass() && execution(* *(..))") public void advice(ProceeJoinPoint jp) { Object[] args = jp.getArgs(); for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) { if (args[i] == null) { args[i] = ""; } } jp.proceed(args); } }
  17. Wizardry or Witchcraft @Aspect public class PreventNPEAspect { @Around("execution(@PreventStringNPE *

    *(..))") public void advice(ProceeJoinPoint jp) { Object[] args = jp.getArgs(); for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) { if (args[i] == null) { args[i] = ""; } } jp.proceed(args); } }
  18. “ “I wanna find some answers I wanna ask for

    some help ” Bruce Springsteen @xgouchet
  19. FAQ ◎ What about stack traces ? Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException

    at com.sample.aspectMyAspect.myAdvice(MyAspect.java:666) at com.app.model.Foo.bar(Foo.java:69) at com.app.model.Foo.<init>(Foo.java:42) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Native Method) <9 more> ◎ What about breakpoints ? Stepping through your code is ok ◎ What about proguard ? Obfuscation performed after weaving @xgouchet
  20. Bad practices and code smells ◎ Pokemon (gotta catch’em all)

    ◎ Wizard of Oz (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) ◎ Dr Octopus (my left tentacle doesn’t know what my right is doin’) ◎ Inception (aspects within aspects …) ◎ MacGyver (the swiss army knife @xgouchet
  21. More about AspectJ… ◎ Aspects are singleton by default ◎

    Inter-type declarations ◦ Change class hierarchy ◦ Add fields ◎ Declare aspects precedence ◎ Patch jar libraries @xgouchet
  22. Things to remember ◎ Focus on Cross Cutting concerns ◎

    If you can do it more easily with OOP don’t use AOP ◎ You can only weave code you own @xgouchet
  23. Writing Aspects… ◎ Inheritance, abstracts, generics, inner classes… ◎ Unit

    tests ◎ Android flavors ◎ AOP is real programming @xgouchet
  24. Useful links ◎ Android AspectJ plugin ◦ https://github.com/deezer/Android-Aspectj-Plugin ◎ Counsel
