Configuring Android Studio

The Gradle World

We are now using gradle for our builds, so this should now be as simple as importing the build.gradle project into a recent Android Studio release.

1. Install Android Studio.
2. Install latest version of gradle.
3. Clone the latest Signal repository into your workspace.
4. In Android Studio, close any currently open projects. You should see the Welcome to Android Studio window.
5. Click Import Project
6. Locate the Signal project you cloned, expand it, select the build.gradle file and click OK.
7. In the following dialog, Gradle home locate the path for gradle and click OK.

You should now have a cleanly building Signal project in Android Studio! Make sure to check out the Code Style Guidelines before getting started.
