Treetracker Android

Current Milestones and Issue Topics

Next feature release

Feature we are currently prioritizing https://github.com/Greenstand/treetracker-android/milestone/17

   

Project Details

This is the Android app for Greenstands Treetracker open source project (www.treetracker.org). This project coordinates the digital capture of tree growth data in the field, allowing to establish employment for people living in extreme poverty based on tree planting. The Android segment is the data collection tool that transports the information into the next service through a data pipeline towards the veryification service.

For more on design intent and the app's user story see the wiki in this repository

   

Project Setup

Developers will need to ask the #android_chat channel in Slack for the treetracker.keys.properties file to build gradle for the application.

For development, select the build variant dev. This build variant is configured to allow trees to be added without a specific accuracy.

 

QC Deployment

Note: QC deployment pipeline are about to be changed and moved to Github actions from Travis. The following details will be updated once the change is made.

This repo has been configured to be easily deployed to QC through Travis. The process, however, is still a manual.

In order to get a new build to QC, take the following steps:

1. Go to the Project page in Travis
2. Select More Options > Trigger build
3. On the dialog, select the appropriate branch, and use either of these configurations:
   • For an Android Beta build:

script:
  - "fastlane android beta"

* For an Android JustDigIt build:

script:
  - "fastlane android justdiggit_beta"

4. Run the build and then wait for it to complete. Voilá.

Running without a script custom parameter will result in a standard build to be run without any artifacts deployed.

Fastlane

Fastlane must be installed using bundle install --path vendor/bundle fastlane install_plugins firebase login

otherwise the firebase plugin will not work

   

Deployment

There is one prerequisite to using the appropriate gradle tasks:

1. Placing the relevant keys.json from the PlayStore in the ./app folder example here

Once this is done, you can proceed by running one of the following tasks to run the release:

• bootstrapReleasePlayResources | Downloads the play store listing for the Release build. No download of image resources. See #18.
• generateReleasePlayResources | Collects play store resources for the Release build
• publishListingRelease | Updates the play store listing for the Release build
