# Specific rules for Matrix Android projects
|
|
|
|
## Android Studio settings
|
|
|
|
Please set the "hard wrap" setting of Android Studio to 160 chars, this is the setting we use internally to format the source code (Menu `Settings/Editor/Code Style` then `Hard wrap at`).
|
|
Please ensure that your using the project formatting rules (which are in the project at .idea/codeStyles/), and format the file before committing them.
|
|
|
|
## Compilation
|
|
|
|
For now, the Matrix SDK and the RiotX application are in the same project. So there is no specific thing to do, this project should compile without any special action.
|
|
|
|
## I want to help translating RiotX
|
|
|
|
If you want to fix an issue with an English string, please submit a PR.
|
|
If you want to fix an issue in other languages, or add a missing translation, or even add a new language, please use [Weblate](https://translate.riot.im/projects/riot-android/).
|
|
|
|
For the moment, Strings from Riot will be used, there is no dedicated project in Weblate for RiotX.
|
|
|
|
## I want to submit a PR to fix an issue
|
|

### Tests
|
|
|
|
RiotX is currently supported on Android KitKat (API 19+): please test your change on an Android device (or Android emulator) running with API 19. Many issues can happen (including crashes) on older devices.
|
|
Also, if possible, please test your change on a real device. Testing on Android emulator may not be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
### Internationalisation
|
|
|
|
When adding new string resources, please only add new entries in file `value/strings.xml`. Translations will be added later by the community of translators with a specific tool named [Weblate](https://translate.riot.im/projects/riot-android/).
|
|
Do not hesitate to use plurals when appropriate.
|
|
|
|
### Accessibility
|
|
|
|
Please consider accessibility as an important point. As a minimum requirement, in layout XML files please use attributes such as `android:contentDescription` and `android:importantForAccessibility`, and test with a screen reader if it's working well. You can add new string resources, dedicated to accessibility, in this case, please prefix theirs id with `a11y_`.
|
|
|
|
### Layout
|
|
|
|
When adding or editing layouts, make sure the layout will render correctly if device uses a RTL (Right To Left) language.
|
|
You can check this in the layout editor preview by selecting any RTL language (ex: Arabic).
|
|
|
|
Also please check that the colors are ok for all the current themes of RiotX. Please use `?attr` instead of `@color` to reference colors in the layout. You can check this in the layout editor preview by selecting all the main themes (`AppTheme.Status`, `AppTheme.Dark`, etc.).
