Riot is an Android Matrix client. It is now deprecated and has been replaced by Element Android
The core team is now only working on Element Android. Element Android is now published on the PlayStore as a replacement of Riot-Android. So the code from this project is not published by the core team to the PlayStore, and not published anymore on F-Droid store as well.
Please contribute to Element Android now!
This client is a standard Android Studio project.
If you want to compile it in command line with gradle, go to the project directory:
Debug mode:
./gradlew assembleDebugRelease mode:
./gradlew assembleReleaseAnd it should build the project (you need to have the right Android SDKs)
sh build_olm_lib.shsh build_matrix_sdk_lib.shsh build_jitsi_libs.shsh set_debug_env.shLet says your application is named MyRiot : You have to create your own flavour.
In "productFlavors" section, duplicate "app" group if you plan to use FCM or "appfdroid" if don't.
for example, with FCM, it would give
appmyriot {
applicationId "im.myriot"
// use the version name
versionCode rootProject.ext.versionCodeProp
versionName rootProject.ext.versionNameProp
buildConfigField "boolean", "ALLOW_FCM_USE", "true"
buildConfigField "String", "SHORT_FLAVOR_DESCRIPTION", "\"F\""
buildConfigField "String", "FLAVOR_DESCRIPTION", "\"FDroid\""
}- if you use FCM, duplicate appImplementation at the end of this file and replace appImplementation by appmyriotImplementation.
- if you don't, update the "if (!getGradle().getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString().contains("fdroid"))" to include your flavor.
- Copy riot-android/vector/src/app or appfroid if you use FCM or you don’t.
- Rename it to appmyriot.
- If you use FCM, you will need to generate your own google-services.json.
- Open riot-android/vector/src/appmyriot/AndroidManifest.xml
- Change the application name to myRiot with "android:label="myRiot"" and "tools:replace="label"" in the application tag.
- Any other field can be customised by adding the resources in this directory classpath.
- Open Android Studio, select your flavour.
- Build and run the app : you made your first Riot app.
You will need to manage your own provider because "im.vector" is already used (look at VectorContentProvider to manage it).
It is possible to set some default values to Riot with some extra parameters to the Google Play link.
- Use the https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/campaigns URL generator (at the bottom)
- Set "Campaign Content" with the extra parameters (e.g. is=http://my__is.org%26hs=http://my_hs.org). Please notice the usage of %26 to escape the &
- Supported extra parameters:
- is : identity server URL
- hs : home server URL
- Generate the customised link
- The application may have to be installed from the Play store website (and not from the Play store application) for this feature to work properly.
