About

This is the Android app of the Waldbrand project. It is designed to work completely offline and allow fire fighters to find hydrants and other sources of water supply.

Data is based on OpenStreetMap and should be updated regularly from an online source in order to have current data on the device.

Building from source

Get the source

Clone the repository recursively (including submodules):

git clone --recursive https://github.com/waldbrand/app.git

Afterwards go to the directory waldbrand-app for the following steps.

Add local map and database files

You need a few asset files that contain map data in order to build the app. Those files need to be put in directory app/src/main/assets. You need a map file called map.xmap.jet for the base layers from OpenStreetMap, a database called map.sqlite.jet for the search functionality and another map file called waldbrand.xmap.jet that contains hydrants, emergency access points etc.

Those files can be obtained or created as described in the waldbrand/website repository.

Release builds

To create release builds, create a keystore.properties file:

storeFile=/path/to/your/release.keystore
storePassword=your-store-password
keyAlias=your-key-alias
keyPassword=your-key-password

Build the application:

./gradlew assembleRelease

Install:

adb install app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
