Generating discussions

If you have any suggestion about something that should be in the roadmap and if you want to validate it, we strongly recommend that you create an issue on our repository. In this way, we can achieve rich discussions that certanly will help a lot of people about the adoption of the content in its developments.

Creating improvements

If you have any improvements that you want to do directly in the roadmap, we recommend that you create a pull request with basicaly two files: the roadmap image and the .fig file, both updated. Try to be descriptive in your PR, so we can analyze and discuss about what you are proposing.

Using Figma

Our project is built with Figma. It is a free tool used to build prototypes, which turns out to be a better choice for the roadmap, because the idea here is that everyone can use the tool and improve the content.

1. Importing the roadmap

   After you clone the repository, you will find inside the project folder the file Android Developer Roadmap 2020.fig. With this file, you can import the project in your Figma profile to edit it.

   

2. Accessing and editing the content

   After uploading the file, you can access the content by double-clicking the Android Developer Roadmap 2020. With right click, you must ungroup the content to have access to each component to edit it.

   

   Now you can click on each component, inner component end everything else to change what you want. Notice that we have a major box component (the box with the content Programming Language) and changing it the changes will be applied to each other component.

3. Exporting the changes

   After you update the content, you must export the .fig file. You can do it by clicking in the menu on the left > file > Save as .fig....

   

   As part of the pull request, you need to send also the image updated. To do this, you must group the content with the same steps that you did to ungroup it. After this, you can notice that an option export will be showed down in the right menu. Click in the +, fill the Sufix, keep the PNG format and click in Export Group x. The image will be downloaded.

   

   The pattern that we use for the .fig file is Android Developer Roadmap 2020.fig and for the image is android_roadmap.png. You must use the same.
