Getting Involved

We encourage you to participate in this open source project. We love pull requests, bug reports, ideas, (security) code reviews or any kind of positive contribution.

Local Development

With Android studio

  • Open the root folder as an existing project with Android Studio
  • TODO DO IT AND CHECK !!! build

Using gradle directly

In the root folder, you can build directly with gradle using:

./gradlew assembleDebug or ./gradlew assembleNightly

Dependency substitutions

You might be interested in building this project against local versions of some of the dependencies. This could be done either by using a local maven repository (quite cumbersome), or via Gradle's dependency substitutions (not at all cumbersome!).

Currently, the substitution flow is streamlined for some of the core dependencies via configuration flags in local.properties. You can build against a local checkout of the following dependencies by specifying their local paths:

  • application-services, specifying its path via substitutions.application-services.dir=../application-services
    • This assumes that you have an application-services project at the same level in the directory hierarchy as the reference-browser.
  • GeckoView, specifying its path via dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopsrcdir=/path/to/mozilla-central (and, optionally, dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopobjdir=/path/to/topobjdir). See Bug 1533465.
    • This assumes that you have built, packaged, and published your local GeckoView -- but don't worry, the dependency substitution script has the latest instructions for doing that.

Do not forget to run a Gradle sync in Android Studio after changing local.properties. If you specified any substitutions, they will be reflected in the modules list, and you'll be able to modify them from a single Android Studio window.
