Release

• Every commit to master branch will deploy a new release to the ALPHA channel in Google Play-Store. You can subscribe to this release channel by joining the Google+ group, and opt-in by visiting this link.
• Every once in a while, a stable enough ALPHA will be promoted to BETA. You can opt-in to this channel by visiting this link.
• Once all requirements for a release were finished, a STABLE release branch (in the format of release-branch-vX.X-rX) will be cut. Every commit to this branch will be automatically published to Google Play Store, and will roll-out users gradually.

Development

To develop this project, you'll need:

• Java 10 - get OpenJDK or AdoptOpenJDK. If you are using jEnv then we have a .java-version file already set up.
• Make sure you have the environment variable JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'. This is required to ensure the JVM is merciful with libraries that were not designed for Java9+ JVMs.
• git
• Android Studio
• Android SDK API Level 28 installed. Set up local.properties file to point to it (that is, ensure you have sdk.dir=/path/to/android/sdk in it).
• Android NDK r14b installed. Set up local.properties file to point to it (that is, ensure you have ndk.dir=/path/to/android/ndk in it).

Continuous Integration and Pull-Requests Verifications

Each PR is verified by multiple tasks:

• Code Style is verified by Google Java Format. You can auto-format changes by running ./gradlew googleJavaFormat
• Static-Analysis is done with PMD, checkstyle, lint and Error-Prone. Run ./scripts/ci/ci_check.sh to execute all checks.
• Unit-Tests are verified using ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest.

Notes

• Via Bountysource, users can post bountys and developers can claim them when fixing bugs. This is an external community project and not directly sponsored by the ASK developers!
