It doesn't look like there is an easy way around this, so re-enable it in the new structure. #111 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/111
F-Droid Client
Client for F-Droid, the Free Software repository system for Android.
Building from source with Gradle
The only required tools are the Android SDK and Gradle.
You should use a relatively new version of Gradle, such as 2.4, or use the gradle wrapper.
Once you have checked out the version you wish to build, run:
git submodule update --init
cd F-Droid
gradle clean assembleRelease
Android Studio
From Android Studio: File -> Import Project -> Select the cloned top folder
Direct download
You can download the application directly from our site or browse it in the repo.

Running the test suite
In order to run the F-Droid test suite, you will need to have either a real device
connected via adb
, or an emulator running. Then, execute the following from the
command line:
gradle connectedAndroidTest
This will build and install F-Droid and the test apk, then execute the entire test suite on the device or emulator.
See the Android Gradle user guide for more details, including how to use Android Studio to run tests (which provides more useful feedback than the command line).
