Client for F-Droid, the Free Software repository system for Android.

The only required tools are the Android SDK and Gradle.

You should use a relatively new version of Gradle, such as 2.4, or use the gradle wrapper.

Once you have checked out the version you wish to build, run:

git submodule update --init
cd F-Droid
gradle clean assembleRelease

From Android Studio: File -> Import Project -> Select the cloned top folder

You can download the application directly from our site or browse it in the repo.

You are welcome to submit Merge Requests via the Gitlab web interface. You can also follow our Issue tracker and our Forums.

The res/values-* dirs are kept up to date automatically via MediaWiki's Translate Extension. See our translation page if you would like to contribute.

In order to run the F-Droid test suite, you will need to have either a real device connected via adb, or an emulator running. Then, execute the following from the command line:

gradle connectedAndroidTest

This will build and install F-Droid and the test apk, then execute the entire test suite on the device or emulator.

See the Android Gradle user guide for more details, including how to use Android Studio to run tests (which provides more useful feedback than the command line).
