Setup working environment
- install Android Studio
- if not yet: put the link to your git installation to $PATH
- clone the repository with commandline or Github app
- open as a project in Android Studio (not import!)
- wait until Gradle has finished configuration (approx. 1 minute)
- to constantly ignore some configuration files changed by Android Studio run ':gitSkipWorktreeForIntellijConfigFiles' from your Gradle Tool Window
- read and understand git flow (original post by Vincent Driessen, Tutorial by Atlassian)
- browse issues to fix from our JIRA Backlog
- members: move the ticket to 'in development'
- members: create a branch with [name schema](name schema)
- write good, tested code and ensure that gradle:check has no warnings
- format, optimize imports and rearrange your code with Android Studio
- create a pull request on Github
- members: move the ticket on JIRA to 'done'
- Wrong Build-tool Version: Install Version 19.1.0 in Tools->Android->SDK Manager
- No Access to SDK-Manager: Create a new Project, open there the SDK-Manager and Update the Build-tools
- Everything in SDK-Manager is installed, but Gradle says it is missing?: you have more than one SDK-Manager installed. Check "$PROJECT_DIR/local.properties" which one is used
- Cant Update Build-tools on Windows: run Android-Studio as Administrator
- "Exception: null: null": Update Android Studio to Version 6.0
- Can't create Emulator Device: Spaces in Emulator name?
- In commandline: "gradle not found"? Maybe Gradle is not installed. Then you should use "./gradlew assembleDebug" or "gradlew.bat assembleDebug" instead
- egit (Eclipse extension for git) will ignore some git settings and will make trouble with line endings!
- You should have following path variables defined:
- JAVA_HOME
- ANDROID_HOME
- and your git location in PATH
