Jetpack-powered WooCommerce Android app codenamed Dervish.

(Make sure you've installed JDK 8 and Android Studio.)

You first need to generate the gradle.properties file:

$ cp ./gradle.properties-example ./gradle.properties

Next, you'll have to get a WordPress.com OAuth2 ID and secret, for use in the gradle.properties file. Please read the OAuth2 Authentication section.

In Android Studio, don't accept any offers to upgrade the gradle plugin - this project does not support Gradle plugin 3 yet.

$ ./gradlew testVanillaDebug                     # Unit tests
$ ./gradlew connectedVanillaDebugAndroidTest     # UI tests

The woocommerce-android project uses Checkstyle. You can run checkstyle using ./gradlew checkstyle. You can also view errors and warnings in realtime with the Checkstyle plugin. When importing the project into Android Studio, Checkstyle should be set up automatically. If it is not, follow the steps below.

You can install the CheckStyle-IDEA plugin in Android Studio here:

Android Studio > Preferences... > Plugins > CheckStyle-IDEA

Once installed, you can configure the plugin here:

Android Studio > Preferences... > Other Settings > Checkstyle

From there, add and enable the configuration file for woocommerce-android, located at config/checkstyle.xml.

The woocommerce-android project uses ktlint for Kotlin linting. You can run ktlint using ./gradlew ktlint, and you can also run ./gradlew ktlintFormat for auto-formatting. There is no IDEA plugin (like Checkstyle's) at this time.

You will need a client ID and a client secret key. These details will be used to authenticate your application and verify that the API calls being made are valid. You can create an application or view details for your existing applications with our WordPress.com applications manager.

When creating your application, you should select "Native client" for the application type. The "Website URL", "Redirect URLs", and "Javascript Origins" fields are required but not used for the mobile apps. Just use "https://localhost".

Once you've created your application in the applications manager, you'll need to edit the ./gradle.properties file and change the wp.oauth.app_id and wp.oauth.app_secret fields. Then you can compile and run the app on a device or an emulator and try to login with a WordPress.com account.

Google Sign-In is only available for WordPress.com accounts through the official app. Contributors can build and run the app without issue, but Google Sign-In will always fail. Google Sign-In requires configuration files which contain client and server information that can't be shared publicly. More documentation and guides can be found on the Google Identity Platform website.
