Prebuilt APKs

[Mennaruuk]

Are there prebuilt APKs for us noobs?

[galaxygoldfish]

I was planning on releasing it to the Play Store but unfortunately that won't be happening now that the Reddit API is a paid service, and if I built an APK I would have to release my personal API key. You can make a developer account on Reddit and get your own key and then build the APK for your personal use, however.

Problem is I personally get an error when I build the app. (Using Android studio)

Me too. Any chance it's related to the Kotlin version?

What about haping people enter their own API key after launching the app?

yes please, an option in settings because building this is TOO HARD, theres no clear steps on how to setup all this, installing the build tools, sdk manager and whatever shit is needed, ive been trying for more than 3 hours, ive surfed the whole internet but im STILL struggling and i DONT want to use the bloat android studio app cause i dont have a supercomputer to run all that

I'm really busy right now but if someone would like to implement this feature and make a pull request, I'll happily merge it! As for building the APK, the easiest way to do so is to install Android studio, import the project and click the Run button. This ensures that you have all of the dev tools and plugins necessary to build since they'll be installed during the setup process

It's not only easy, but also painful and "expensive". (Hardware side). Isn't android studio heavy?

@galaxygoldfish I was able to implement the feature here......
Will be opening a PR once #6 is merged

P.S. That branch is dependent on branch of #6

It actually only requires about 8GB of disk space to install and then the recommended RAM amount is 8GB

Details about minimum requirements -https://developer.android.com/studio/install
Link to download AS - https://developer.android.com/studio

I'm using AS Hedgehog 2023.1.1 Canary 5, and just merged a PR that updates dependencies, and it looks like for me at least, the build errors have been resolved. Make sure you also have all of the SDK updates installed too 👍

I have the disk space but I don't have enough RAM. It is possible to build it without using android studio, but for some reason it can't find the sdk, even though I have everything set up correctly (I think)

did it happen? did anyone build apk(in which we can put own api)?

You will be able to that once #7 is merged
