Style

We loosely follow the Google Java style. Some of the points we follow the most are:

• Four space indentation
• UTF-8 source files
• Exactly one top-level class per file
• No wildcard imports
• One statement per line
• K&R spacings with braces and parenthesis

Some other interesting additions we might use in the future:

• Commented fallthroughs
• Braces are always used after if, for and while

We don't strictly follow the entire style spec, but when in doubt you should follow it.

Building

You have three options:

• Build with gradle
• Build with gradle from source

Debugging

To get all the logcat messages by F-Droid, you can run:

adb logcat | grep `adb shell ps | grep org.fdroid.fdroid | cut -c10-15`
