This is a tool for using Android with open-source mesh radios. For more information see our webpage: [meshtastic.org](https://www.meshtastic.org). If you are looking for the the device side code, see [here](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-device).

This project is currently beta testing, if you have questions or feedback
please [Join our discussion forum](https://meshtastic.discourse.group/). We would love to hear from
you!

If you want to join the Play Store beta program go to [this URL](https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.geeksville.mesh) and opt-in to the alpha/beta test.
If you encounter any problems or have questions, [post in the forum](https://meshtastic.discourse.group/) and we'll help.

However, if you must use 'raw' APKs you can get them from our [github releases](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/releases). This is not recommended because if you manually install an APK it will not automatically update.

## Build instructions

If you would like to develop this application we'd love your help! These build instructions are brief and should be improved, please send a PR if you can.

- Use Android Studio to build/debug
- Use "git submodule update --init --recursive" to pull in the various submodules we depend on
- There are a few config files which you'll need to copy from templates included in the project. Run
  the following commands to do so:

```bash
rm ./app/google-services.json
cp ./app/google-services-example.json ./app/google-services.json
rm ./app/src/main/res/values/curfirmwareversion.xml
cp ./app/special/curfirmwareversion.xml ./app/src/main/res/values/
```

- Now you should be able to select "Run / Run" in the IDE and it will happily start running on your
  phone or the emulator. Note: The emulators don't support bluetooth, so some features can not be
  used in that environment.

## Analytics setup

- analytics are included but can be disabled by the user on the settings screen

- on dev devices

```bash
adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app com.geeksville.mesh
adb shell setprop log.tag.FirebaseCrashlytics DEBUG
```

for verbose logging:

```bash
adb shell setprop log.tag.FA VERBOSE
```
