Split Android code out to also support Java

[hakanai]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Make it possible to use this library for normal Java apps.

The dependency on Android in this project seems fairly minimal so it seems like it should be possible to abstract it and offer two implementations.

Motivation

The codebase I deal with at work has a mix of web and Java desktop apps. We localise into 11 languages and currently use ICU plural formats on the Java side, which developers have a hard time dealing with.

I believe that the i18next format might make it easier to do the right thing with plurals.

Example

Similar to what's documented for the Android version, except that overloads taking Locale would be more convenient.

not sure if this is still maintained by the original creator...

Maybe you @hakanai want to take over and create directly a new Java module?

[hakanai]

I guess I could take a shot.

But there is a lot of Android stuff in the current project which makes it a difficult build situation for me.

As an original author of this library, I agree your proposal makes a lot of sense.
But @jamuhl is correct we are not maintaining it anymore as we left the project using this library. So we won't be able to invest time into your feature proposal.
