# AOSP AndroidX Contribution Guide
## Accepted Types of Contributions
* Bug fixes - needs a corresponding bug report in the [Android Issue Tracker](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192731&template=842428)
* Each bug fix is expected to come with tests
* Fixing spelling errors
* Updating documentation
* Adding new tests to the area that is not currently covered by tests
* New features to existing libraries if the feature request bug has been approved by an AndroidX team member.
We **are not** currently accepting new modules.
## Checking Out the Code
**NOTE: You will need to use Linux or Mac OS. Building under Windows is not currently supported.**
Follow the [“Downloading the Source”](https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html) guide to install and set up `repo` tool, but instead of running the listed `repo` commands to initialize the repository, run the folowing:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b androidx-master-dev
The first time you initialize the repository, it will ask for user name and email.
Now your repository is set to pull only what you need for building and running AndroidX libraries. Download the code (and grab a coffee while we pull down 3GB):
repo sync -j8 -c
You will use this command to sync your checkout in the future - it’s similar to `git fetch`
## Using Android Studio
Open `path/to/checkout/frameworks/support/` in Android Studio. Now you're ready edit, run, and test!
If you get “Unregistered VCS root detected” click “Add root” to enable git integration for Android Studio.
If you see any warnings (red underlines) run `Build > Clean Project`.
## Builds
### Full Build (Optional)
You can do most of your work from Android Studio, however you can also build the full AndroidX library from command line:
cd path/to/checkout/frameworks/support/
./gradlew createArchive
### Testing modified AndroidX Libraries to in your App
You can build maven artifacts locally, and test them directly in your app:
./gradlew createArchive
And put in your **project** `build.gradle` file:
handler.maven { url '/path/to/checkout/out/host/gradle/frameworks/support/build/support_repo' }
## Running Tests
### Single Test Class or Method
1. Open the desired test file in Android Studio.
2. Right-click on a test class or @Test method name and select `Run FooBarTest`
### Full Test Package
1. In the project side panel open the desired module.
2. Find the directory with the tests
3. Right-click on the directory and select `Run androidx.foobar`
## Running Sample Apps
The AndroidX repository has a set of Android applications that exercise AndroidX code. These applications can be useful when you want to debug a real running application, or reproduce a problem interactively, before writing test code.
These applications are named either `<libraryname>-integration-tests-testapp`, or `support-\*-demos` (e.g. `support-4v-demos` or `support-leanback-demos`). You can run them by clicking `Run > Run ...` and choosing the desired application.
## Password and Contributor Agreement before making a change
Before uploading your first contribution, you will need setup a password and agree to the contribution agreement:
Generate a HTTPS password:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/new-password
Agree to the Google Contributor Licenses Agreement:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/settings/new-agreement
## Making a change
cd path/to/checkout/frameworks/support/
repo start my_branch_name .
(make needed modifications)
git commit -a
repo upload --current-branch .
If you see the following prompt, choose `always`:
Run hook scripts from https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest (yes/always/NO)?
If the upload succeeds, you'll see output like:
remote:
remote: New Changes:
remote: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/720062 Further README updates
remote:
To edit your change, use `git commit --amend`, and re-upload.
## Getting reviewed
* After you run repo upload, open [r.android.com](http://r.android.com)
* Sign in into your account (or create one if you do not have one yet)
* Add an appropriate reviewer (use git log to find who did most modifications on the file you are fixing or check the OWNERS file in the project's directory)
## Handling binary dependencies
AndroidX uses git to store all the binary Gradle dependencies. They are stored in `prebuilts/androidx/internal` and `prebuilts/androidx/external` directories in your checkout. All the dependencies in these directories are also available from `google()`, `jcenter()`, or `mavenCentral()`. We store copies of these dependencies to have hermetic builds. You can pull in [a new dependency using our importMaven tool](development/importMaven/README.md).
