HTTP Proxy preference for Tor, I2P, etc; add jenkins script This adds a preference to set the HTTP Proxy so that FDroid can funnel all traffic through Tor, I2P, psiphon, or any other HTTP proxy. Also, there is a script for jenkins to run before calling `ant clean debug` for the whole setup process. This script sets the `versionCode` to the UNIX time in seconds, and adds the date/time to the `versionName` so that the debug builds are very clearly marked from real builds, and they will automatically update when included in a debug repo: https://dev.guardianproject.info/issues/2601
F-Droid Client
Client for F-Droid, the Free Software repository system for Android.
Building from source
The only required tools are the Android SDK and Apache Ant.
Once you have checked out the version you wish to build, run:
git submodule update --init
./ant-prepare.sh # This runs 'android update' on the libs and the main project
ant clean release
The project itself supports Gradle, but some of the libraries it uses don't. Hence it is currently not possible to build F-Droid with Gradle in a clean way without manual interaction.
Direct download
You can download the application directly from our site or browse it in the repo.

Running the test suite
FDroid client includes a embedded Android Test Project for running tests. It
is in the test/ subfolder. To run the tests from the command line, do:
git submodule update --init
./ant-prepare.sh # This runs 'android update' on the libs and the main project
ant clean emma debug install test
You can also run the tests in Eclipse. Here's how:
- Choose File -> Import -> Android -> Existing Android Code Into Workspace for the
fdroidclient/directory. - Choose File -> Import -> Android -> Existing Android Code Into Workspace for the
fdroidclient/test/directory - If fdroid-test has errors, right-click on it, select Properties, the Java Build Path, then click on the Projects tab.
- Click on the Add... button and select
fdroidclient/ - Right-click on the fdroid-test project, then Run As... -> Android JUnit Test
Troubleshooting
When building F-Droid, the following error may occur:
Invalid file: extern/UniversalImageLoader/library/build.xml
Check the output of the ./ant-prepare.sh command. This error is often accompanied by the following message:
Error: The project either has no target set or the target is invalid. Please provide a --target to the 'android update' command.
The most likely cause of this is that your installed Android SDK is missing the target version specified by one of the dependencies. For example, at the time of writing this, UniversalImageLoader uses the "android-16" target API, however the default install of the Android SDK will usually only install the latest version ("android-19" as of writing). So you will have to install the "android-16" target via the SDK manager.
NOTE: While it may be tempting to add "--target=android-19" to the ant-prepare.sh script, it is not the correct solution. Although it may work, it can cause strange bugs at runtime.
