compile.sh: make running gradlew optional

fdroid build already calls gradle with the correct arguments after all
other build steps completed so having this flag makes the build process
inside fdroid easier.

Ring Android

This repository is meant for the porting of Ring to Android.

AppCI
Download on the Play Store Download on F-DroidBuild Status

Environment

Clone this as a submodule of: https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/#/admin/projects/ring-project to obtain the required Ring daemon source.

You can also manually clone the daemon and override the DAEMON_DIR during compilation

Make sure you have the android-ndk and android-sdk, and you'll want something like this in your .bashrc (or equivalent):

export ANDROID_NDK=$HOME/src/android-ndk
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_NDK
export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/src/android-sdk-linux
export ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:${PATH}

install swig-2.0.6 or later and python-2.7 or later on your system

Build instructions

Supported archs are: armeabi-v7a and x86

Example:

ANDROID_ABI="armeabi-v7a x86"

Then:

./compile.sh

If you cloned the daemon in a custom directory (other than ../daemon), you can specify it using an absolute path:

DAEMON_DIR=custom_path ./compile.sh

When all else fails:

git clean -dfx
cd ../daemon (or custom_path)
git clean -dfx

And start again.

Update translations

Update translations using the Transifex client (tx) :

./update-translations.sh

Debugging

Retrieve client log from device (client must be running before executing this)

adb logcat *:D | grep `adb shell ps | egrep 'cx.ring' | cut -c10-15` > logring.txt
