# Goal of the forked version
- Develop and try out enhancements together
- Release the wrapper more frequently to identify and fix bugs together caused by changes in the syncthing submodule
- Make enhancements configurable in the settings UI, e.g. users should be able to turn them on and off
- Let's get ready for newer Android versions that put limits on background syncing tools. We need your bug reports as detailed as possible

# Building
### Prerequisites
- Android SDK
`You can skip this if you are using Android Studio.`
- Android NDK r16b
`$ANDROID_NDK_HOME environment variable should point at the root directory of your NDK. If the variable is not set, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup the NDK.`
- Go 1.9.7
`Make sure, Go is installed and available on the PATH environment variable. If Go is not found on the PATH environment variable, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup GO on the PATH.`
- Python 2.7
`Make sure, Python is installed and available on the PATH environment variable.`
- Git (for Linux) or Git for Windows
`Make sure, git (or git.exe) is installed and available on the PATH environment variable. If Git is not found on the PATH environment variable, build-syncthing.py will automatically try to download and setup MinGit 2.19.0-x64 on the PATH.`
- Java Version 8 (you might need to set `$JAVA_HOME` accordingly)
### Build instructions
Make sure you clone the project with
`git clone https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android.git --recursive`.
Alternatively, run `git submodule init && git submodule update` in the project folder.
A Linux VM, for example running Debian, is recommended to build this.
Build Syncthing and the Syncthing-Android wrapper using the following commands:
`./gradlew buildNative`
`./gradlew lint assembleDebug`
You can also use Android Studio to build the apk after you manually ran the `./gradlew buildNative` command in the repository root.

`./gradlew cleanNative`
`./gradlew clean`
