These instructions will help you to set up your development environment, get the source code of the Nextcloud Talk for Android app and build it by yourself. If you want to help developing the app take a look to the [contribution guidelines][0].
# [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com) Talk for Android Setup Guide
Sections 1) and 2) are common for any environment. The rest of the sections describe how to set up a project in different tool environments. Nowadays we recommend to use Android Studio (section 2), but you can also build the app from the command line (section 3).

Add the full path to the 'bin/' directory from your git installation into the PATH variable of your environment so that it can be used from any location.

### 2. Working with Android Studio.
## Work and build environments
### Working with Android Studio
To set up the project in Android Studio follow the next steps:
* Open Android Studio and select 'Open an Existing Project'. Browse through your file system to the folder 'talk-android' where the project is located. The file chooser will show an Android face as the folder icon, which you can select to reopen the project.
* Android Studio will try to build the project directly after importing it. To build it manually, just click the 'Play' button in the toolbar to build and run it in a mobile device or an emulator. The resulting APK file will be saved in the 'app/build/outputs/apk/' subdirectory in the project folder and being installed/launched in a configured emulator or if connected your physical device.
* Check Android Studio editor configuration for the project: ```Settings``` → ```Editor``` → ```Code Style``` → ```Scheme: Project``` and ```Enable EditorConfig support``` (should be enabled by default)

[Gradle][7] is the build system used by Android Studio to manage the building operations on Android apps. You do not need to install Gradle in your system, and Google recommends not to do it, but instead trusting on the [Gradle wrapper][8] included in the project.

* Open a terminal and go to the 'talk-android' directory that contains the repository.
* Run the 'clean' and 'build' tasks using the Gradle wrapper provided
1. Open a terminal and go to the 'talk-android' directory that contains the repository.
2. Run the 'clean' and 'build' tasks using the gradle wrapper provided
- Windows: ```gradlew.bat clean assembleGplay``` or ```gradlew.bat clean assembleGeneric```
- Mac OS/Linux: ```./gradlew clean assembleGplay``` or ```./gradlew clean assembleGeneric```
The first time the Gradle wrapper is called, the correct Gradle version will be downloaded automatically. This requires a working Internet connection.

### 4. App flavours
### App flavours
The app is currently equipped to be built with three flavours:
* Generic - the regular build, released as Nextcloud Android app on F-Droid
* Gplay - with Google Stuff (Push notification), used for Google Play Store
* Qa - Build per pr for testing
* **Generic** - the regular build, released as Nextcloud Android app on F-Droid

* **Qa** - build per pr for testing
### Update Android Studio ktlint formatter
To update the formatter rules for kotlin files:
1. Download [latest release][9] to project's root folder
2. Run the following command: ```java -jar ktlint --android applyToIDEAProject -y```
3. Diff the changed files and incorporate the updates/changes only. This needs to be done by hand since the Android Studio files contain formatting rules for java and xml as well which are overridden (as in removed) by the ktlint generator.
## Troubleshooting
### Compilation fails with "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error
The default settings for gradle is to limit the compilation to 1GB of heap.
You can increase that value by:
1. adding `org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4G` to `gradle.properties` and
2. running gradlew(.bat) with this command line : `GRADLE_OPTS="-Xmx4G" ./gradlew clean build"`
