Building

Requirements

  • Android SDK Platform (for the compileSdkVersion specified in build.gradle)
  • Android Support Repository

Build instructions

Use ./gradlew assembleDebug in the project directory to compile the APK.

To check for updated gradle dependencies, run gradle dependencyUpdates. Additionally, the git submodule in ext/syncthing/src/github.com/syncthing/syncthing may need to be updated.

Building on Windows

To build the Syncthing app on Windows we need to include the native Syncthing binaries:

  • Download the syncthing-linux-386 and syncthing-linux-arm archives from Syncthing releases and extract them. In each there is a syncthing executable. Rename and place both of these to libs/x86/libsyncthing.so and libs/armeabi/libsyncthing.so respectively.
    You will also need to replace the standard build.gradle file with this one.

Development Notes

It is recommended to change the GUI and Listen Address ports for the debug app, eg to 8385 and 22001 respectively.

The Syncthing backend used for this android application provides a web interface by default. It can be accessed via the Settings menu -> 'Web GUI'. It is quite helpful to access this web interface from your development machine. Read android documentation on how to access the network of your emulator. Or use the following steps to connect to the single currently running emulator/AVD.

  • telnet localhost 5554
  • redir add tcp:18384:8384
  • Start Syncthing app on your emulator and access the web interface from you favorite browser of your development machine via http://127.0.0.1:18384
