# Contributing
Thanks for contributing :)
## Building the app
The application doesn't use Gradle and it might be hard to use some features of
Android Studio.
Fortunately, there's not many dependencies:
- OpenJDK 8
- Android SDK: build tools `30.0.3`, platform `30`
- Make sure to have the `$ANDROID_HOME` environment variable set.
For Nix users, there's a `shell.nix` for setting-up the right environment.
Building the debug apk:
```sh
make
```
If the build succeed, the debug apk is located in
`_build/juloo.keyboard2.debug.apk`.
## Debugging on your phone
You need to have *USB debugging* enabled on your phone, see [Android's doc](https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options#enable).
It is also possible to enable *ADB over network* in the settings and connect
with `adb connect <ip of the phone>`. Make sure to be connected to a local
network that you trust.
Install the application with:
```sh
make installd
```
The debug version of the application won't be removed, both versions will stay
installed at the same time.
