The ownCloud News Reader Android App is under AGPLv3 License terms. Status: Beta Bugs and enhancements can be reported under: https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App/issues
Join the following Google Group: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/owncloud-news-android-app there you can find a link (after I accepted you in the group) to Google Play for registering as beta tester of the app.
The app shows an empty Toast when trying to sync or sign-in (little dark box at the button of the screen)
- Make sure you're using the latest version of the news app and the appframework from GitHub. Otherwise you can use the Android version <= 0.3.3 (via Google Play or GitHub Choose version).
- Android Studio
- Git installed (you can do the following stuff without git but I'm not going to show how).
- Open cmd/terminal
- Navigate to your workspace
- Then type in:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git
for the dev branch:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git -b dev
Import the Project and start coding!
That's all. I hope it works for you! If something is not working, please send me an email to david-dev@live.de
