Previously, I accidentally made the repo updater presume that it had access to all apps in a big fat list. This meant that I was iterating over that list, performing calculations, etc, rather than actually querying the entire database. The solution was to bundled all update-service related processing to one process in AppProvider (I didn't want to have to pull every single app/apk out of the database in order to perform the update, because that will become more and more burdensom as the repo grows). There is a method calcDetailsFromIndex() in the AppProvider.Helper class. It now does three things: * updates compatibility flag. * updates suggested version (outstanding issue is documented in gitlab issue #1) * updates iconsUrl (fixed in this commit) Icons from old repos will just have icons in an "icons" dir in the same folder as the index.jar. New repos have density specific icon dirs (e.g. "icons-240") which depend on the device F-Droid is running on.
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.
Building as part of a ROM
Add the following lines to your repo manifest:
<remote name="fdroid" fetch="https://git.gitorious.org/f-droid" />
<remote name="github" fetch="https://github.com/" />
<project path="packages/apps/fdroidclient" name="fdroidclient.git" remote="fdroid" revision="0.62" />
<project path="packages/apps/fdroidclient/extern/UniversalImageLoader" name="nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader" remote="github" revision="b1b49e51f2c43b119edca44691daf9ab6c751158" />
<project path="packages/apps/fdroidclient/extern/AndroidPinning" name="binaryparadox/AndroidPinning" remote="github" revision="ce84a19e753bbcc3304525f763edb7d7f3b62429" />
<project path="packages/apps/fdroidclient/extern/MemorizingTrustManager" name="ge0rg/MemorizingTrustManager" remote="github" revision="a705441ac53b9e1aba9f00f3f59aab81da6fbc9e" />
Adding F-Droid is then just a matter of adding F-Droid to your PRODUCT_PACKAGES.

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
