netmicrobe / Omni-Notes

Open source note-taking application for Android

Omni-Notes

Note taking open-source application aimed to have both a simple interface but keeping smart behavior.

The project was inspired by the absence of such applications compatible with old phones and old versions of Android. It aims to provide an attractive look and follow the most recent design guidelines of the Google operating system.

Follow the developments and post your comments and advice on Google+ Beta Community at http://goo.gl/eF6qqF

Build

Watch the following terminal session recording on how to compile distributable files

Test

To execute all tests included into the project connect a device or emulator, then run the following command:

./gradlew connectedAndroidTest

Contributing

Due to the fact that I'm using gitflow as code versioning methodology, you as developer should always start working on develop branch that contains the most recent changes.

There are many features/improvements that are not on my roadmap but someone else could decide to work on them anyway: hunt for issues tagged as Help Wanted to find them!

Feel free to add yourself to contributors.md file.

New feature or improvements contributions

This kind of contributions must have screenshots or screencast as demonstration of the new additions.

Test your code contributions!

All code changes and additions must be tested. See the related section for more informations or this two pull requests comments: one and two

Forking project

When forking the project you'll have to modify some files that are strictly dependent from my own development / build / third-party-services environment. Files that need some attention are the following:

• gradle.properties: this is overridden by another file with the same name inside the omniNotes module. You can do the same or leave as it is, any missing property will let the app gracefully fallback on a default behavior.
• .travis.yml: if you use TravisCI as continuous integration platform and a SonarQUBE instance for code quality analysis you'll have to modify this file according to your needs.

Code quality

A public instance of SonarQube is available both to encourage other developers to improve their code contributions (and existing code obviously) and to move the project even further into transparency and openness.

Checkout for it here

Pull requests will be automatically analyzed and rejected if they'll rise the code technical debt.

Dependencies

They're all listed into the build.gradle file but due to the fact that many of the dependences have been customized by me I'd like to say thanks here to the original developers of these great libraries:
