How to use the Beta App via Google Play ?

Join the following Google Group: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/owncloud-news-android-app there you can find a link (after I accepted you in the group) to Google Play for registering as beta tester of the app.

FAQ:

The app shows an empty Toast when trying to sync or sign-in (little dark box at the button of the screen)

  • Make sure you're using the latest version of the news app and the appframework from GitHub. Otherwise you can use the Android version <= 0.3.3 (via Google Play or GitHub Choose version).

How to compile the App

Requirements:

  1. Android Studio
  2. Git installed (you can do the following stuff without git but I'm not going to show how).

Download and install:

  1. Open cmd/terminal
  2. Navigate to your workspace
  3. Then type in:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git

for the dev branch:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git -b dev

Run the following script "remove_invalid_languages.sh"

Import the Project and start coding!

That's all. I hope it works for you! If something is not working, please send me an email to david-dev@live.de
