Please report any and all bugs or problems that you find. This is essential for us to be able to improve this software!

First make sure you have the Android SDK and Eclipse installed. Follow instructions here:
Please help us keep this process easy by letting us know if you have problems. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to email us at support@guardianproject.info or jump into our IRC chatrooms for real-time help at #guardianproject on freenode or OFTC (https://guardianproject.info/contact/chat/).
The source code is all in the main git repos, with sub-projects setup as git submodules:
git clone https://github.com/guardianproject/ChatSecureAndroid.git
cd ChatSecureAndroid
git submodule update --init
We use ant to make our official releases and automated test builds. If you
are not familiar with Eclipse, then it is easier to start with the ant
build:
export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android-sdk
./update-ant-build.sh
ant clean debug
Then the installable APK will be in bin/ChatSecure-debug.apk.
-
Start by adding ChatSecureAndroid to Eclipse by going to File -> New -> Project... -> Android project from existing code.
-
Open the ChatSecureAndroid folder that was just cloned from git.
-
Eclipse will next show a list of subprojects to import, all of the libraries with New Project Name of library must be renamed after the project name, i.e. SlidingMenu, AndroidEmojiInput, ViewPagerIndicator.
-
Click Deselect All. The sample and example projects are not needed, and can cause conflicts.
-
Select ChatSecure again by clicking the top item in the list.
-
Outside of Eclipse, open up the text file project.properties. Then back in Eclipse, for each line that starts with
android.library.reference, select that path from the list of included sub-projects in Eclipse.
Now you should be ready to build ChatSecure!
mvn test
See robo-tests/README.md for eclipse instructions.
Currently the instrumented target tests (to be run on a device) in the directory tests are empty.
