How to compile an apk

[oliroe]

It looks like the courville repo isn't up to date. How is everyone else compiling an apk for this?

Thanks

Can you be more specific about your issue? There is no reference to courville in the source code. You should just be able to run ./gradlew assembleRelease and install ./org.fox.ttrss/build/outputs/apk/release/org.fox.ttrss-release-unsigned.apk

Ah sorry, this user said he would compile apks but it doesn't look like it's up to date

I'll take a look at trying to do it myself but it's definitely not my area of expertise. Thanks for the reply

I was not aware of this fork. Sounds like more motivation to complete #18. You also might be interested in recent work on tt-rss/tt-rss#157 which brings mobile improvements to the web UI.

If you're so inclined you could use the debug builds from runs of https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss-android/actions/workflows/build-debug-apk.yml (which are kept for 90 days).

They're just a byproduct of the workflow (whose main purpose is just to make sure the project can be built), and shouldn't be considered "supported".

Hey! I ran into a similar issue before.

If you're looking for a lighter alternative, I made a project called Vexel. It's an Android APK builder that runs in Termux and is designed to be simpler than setting up a full Android Studio environment for certain workflows.

Current features include:

APK building on Android through Termux
Java support
C/C++ support
Lightweight setup
It may or may not fit your exact use case, but if you'd like to try it, feedback is always welcome.
