Previously the data was not stored anywhere, and each time we wanted to know about all installed apps, we built a ridiculously long SQL query. The query had essentially one "OR" clause for each installed app. To make matters worse, it also required one parameter for each of these, so we could bind the installed app name to a "?" in the query. SQL has a limit of (usually) 999 parameters which can be provided to a query, which meant it would fall over if the user had more than 1000 apps installed. This change introduces a new table called "fdroid_installedApps". It is initialized on first run, by iterating over the installed apps as given by the PackageManager. It is subsequenty kept up to date by a set of BroadcastReceivers, which listen for apps being uninstalled/installed/upgraded. It also includes tests to verify that queries of installed apps, when there are more than 1000 apps installed, don't break. Finally, tests are also now able to to insert into providers other than the one under test. This is due to the fact that the providers often join onto tables managed by other providers.
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
