Setup

The most straightforward way to build and run this application is to:

  • Install Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/install
  • Clone the repository. You have two options:
    • Use the Project from version control in Android Studio, or
    • Use the git clone command and import it into Android Studio
  • Build and run the app directly in Android Studio

Alternatively, if you want to build the app directly from the command line (or using a different IDE, etc.), you will first need to install the command line tools from: https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools. Then you will need to install the SDK using the sdkmanager tool. After cloning the repository with git clone you will need to edit the local.properties file so that it points to the location of the SDK. Depending on which operating systems you use, the location of the SDK is usually:

  • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
  • MacOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Android/Sdk/
  • Linux: /Users/<username>/Android/Sdk/

Then, go to the app’s root directory in the command line tool and run:

  • ./gradlew assembleBetaDebug
  • adb install ./app/build/outputs/apk/beta/debug/ProtonMail-Android-1.XX.X-beta-debug.apk
