# Meshtastic-Android

![Android CI](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/workflows/Android%20CI/badge.svg?branch=master)

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-esp32).

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

Once out of alpha the companion Android application will be released here:

3. If you encounter any problems or have questions, post in our gitter chat and we'll help.

## Analytics setup

Once this project is public, I'll happily let collaborators have access to the crash logs/analytics.

* analytics is currently on, before beta is over I'll make it optional
* on dev devices "adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app com.geeksville.mesh"
adb shell setprop log.tag.FirebaseCrashlytics DEBUG
* To see analytics: https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/meshutil/analytics/app/android:com.geeksville.mesh/overview
* To see crash logs: https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/meshutil/crashlytics/app/android:com.geeksville.mesh/issues?state=open&time=last-seven-days&type=crash

for verbose logging:
```aidl
adb shell setprop log.tag.FA VERBOSE
```

## Build instructions
FIXME

Notes from @jeksys follow.
Are there any special instructions for the project?
I’m trying to build Android app, but I’m an Android dev, so probably I miss something.

For now I have following issues:

missing google-services.json -> created one
missing mapbox_access_token string -> added a random string
missing cur_firmware_version string -> added a random string
I was able to run simulator after applying above fixes
