This is the official repository for the dev.to's Android app.
DEV Android is an WebView based application. This application is inspired by Basecamp's approach. We will grow to include more native code over time.
By leveraging webviews as much as possible, we can smoothly sync up with our web dev work. And where it makes sense, we can re-implement certain things fully native, or build entirely native features. Life's a journey, not a destination.
We expect contributors to abide by our underlying code of conduct. All conversations and discussions on GitHub (issues, pull requests) and across dev.to must be respectful and harassment-free.
You will need to have Android Studio 3.5 or up installed.

For Push Notification delivery we use Pusher Beams. In order to get the app running locally you'll need a google-services.json configuration file from Firebase, otherwise you'll encounter the following error: File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.
You can sign up or sign in on Firebase account for free in order to get the app working locally. Steps 1-4 under Firebase for Android Push Notifications in our official docs show how to set this up in more detail. Drop the resulting google-services.json file in the app folder and you'll be good to go.
- Fork the project & clone locally.
- Create a branch, naming it either a feature or bug:
git checkout -b feature/that-new-featureorbug/fixing-that-bug - Code and commit your changes. Bonus points if you write a good commit message:
git commit -m 'Add some feature' - Push to the branch:
git push origin feature/that-new-feature - Create a pull request for your branch 🎉
