-If you want to start help developing ownCloud please follow the [contribution guidelines][0] and observe these instructions.
-If you have any problems, start again with 1) and work your way down. If something still does not work as described here, please open a new issue describing exactly what you did, what happened, and what should have happened.

-### 1) Fork and download android/develop repository:
+If you want to start help developing ownCloud please follow the [contribution guidelines][0] and observe these instructions:
-NOTE: Android SDK with platforms 8, 14 and 19 (and maybe others) need to be installed.
- You must have the Android SDK 'tools/', and 'platforms-tools/' folders in your environment path variable.
- "git" need to be installed and in your environment path variable.
+### 1. Fork and download android/develop repository:
+
+NOTE: You must have git in your environment path variable to perform the next operations.
* Navigate to https://github.com/owncloud/android, click fork.
* Clone your new repo: "git clone git@github.com:YOURGITHUBNAME/android.git"
* Pull changes from your develop branch: "git pull origin develop"
* Make official ownCloud repo known as upstream: "git remote add upstream git@github.com:owncloud/android.git"
* Make sure to get the latest changes from official android/develop branch: "git pull upstream develop"
-* Complete the setup of project properties and resolve pending dependencies running "setup_env.bat" or "./setup_env.sh" .
-At this point you can continue using different tools to build the project. Sections 2a), 2b), and 2c) describe some of the existing alternatives.
+At this point you can continue using different tools to build the project. Section 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 describe some of the existing alternatives.

+### 2. Building with Ant:
-### 2a) Building with Ant:
-
NOTE: You must have the Android SDK 'tools/', and 'platforms-tools/' folders in your environment path variable.
-* Run "ant clean" .
+* Resolve necessary dependencies running:
+ - Windows: "setup_env.bat ant"
+ - Mac OS/Linux: "./setup_env.sh ant"
+* Run "ant clean".
* Run "ant debug" to generate a debuggable version of the ownCloud app.
-### 2b) Building with console/maven:
+### 3. Building with console/maven:
NOTE: You must have mvn (version >= 3.1.1) in your environment path. Current Android 'platforms-tools' need to be installed.
-Download/install Android plugin for Maven, install owncloud-android-library, then build ownCloud with mvn:
+Download/install Android plugin for Maven, then build ownCloud with mvn:
+* Resolve necessary dependencies running:

* cd ..
* git clone https://github.com/mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer.git
* cd maven-android-sdk-deployer
* mvn install
* cd ..
-Now you can create ownCloud APK using "mvn package"
+Now you can create ownCloud APK using "mvn package" and find it as ownCloud.apk under the target
+
+### 4. Building with Gradle:
+
+* Complete the setup of project properties running:
+ - Windows: "setup_env.bat gradle"
+ - Mac OS/Linux: "./setup_env.sh gradle"
+* Open a terminal and go to the "android" directory that contains the repository.
+* Run the 'clean' and 'build' tasks using the Gradle wrapper provided:
+ - Windows: gradlew.bat clean build
+ - Mac OS/Linux: ./gradlew clean build
+* You can find the generated apk file in android/build/outputs/apk
-### 2c) Building with Eclipse:
+### 5. Building with Eclipse:
NOTE: You must have the Android SDK 'tools/', and 'platforms-tools/' folders in your environment path variable.
-* Complete the setup of project properties and resolve pending dependencies running "setup_env.bat" or "./setup_env.sh" .
-* Open Eclipse and create new "Android Project from Existing Code". Choose android/actionbarsherlock/library as root.
+* Resolve necessary dependencies running:
+ - Windows: "setup_env.bat ant"
+ - Mac OS/Linux: "./setup_env.sh ant"
+ * Open Eclipse and create new "Android Project from Existing Code". Choose android/actionbarsherlock/library as root.
* Clean project and compile.
-* If any error appear, check the project properties; in the 'Android' section, API Level should be greater or equal than 14.
-* If "error loading libz.so.1" appears, try "sudo apt-get install lib32z1"
+* If any error appears, check the project properties; in the 'Android' section, API Level should be greater or equal than 14.
* Make sure android/actionbarsherlock/library/bin/library.jar was created.
-* Create a new "Android Project from Existing Code". Choose android/owncloud-android-library as root. (test and sample clients are not required.)
+* Create a new "Android Project from Existing Code". Choose android/owncloud-android-library as root.
* Clean project and compile.
-* If any error appear, check the project properties; in the 'Android' section, API Level should be 19 or greater.
-* Make sure 'android/owncloud-android-library/bin/owncloud android library.jar' was created.
+* If any error appears, check the project properties; in the 'Android' section, API Level should be 19 or greater.
+* Make sure android/owncloud-android-library/bin/classes.jar was created.
* Import ownCloud Android project.
* Clean project and compile.
* If any error appears, check the project properties of owncloud-android project; in the 'Android' section:
- - API Level should be 19 or greater.
- - Two library projects should appear referred in the bottom square: actionbarsherlock/library and owncloud-android-library. Add them if needed.
+ - API Level should be 19 or greater.
+ - Two library projects should appear referred in the bottom square: actionbarsherlock/library and owncloud-android-library. Add them if needed.
* After those actions you should be good to go. HAVE FUN!
NOTE: Even though API level is set to 19, APK also runs on older devices because in AndroidManifest.xml minSdkVersion is set to 8.

-
+### 6. Building with Android Studio:
+
+* Complete the setup of project properties running:
+ - Windows: "setup_env.bat gradle"
+ - Mac OS/Linux: "./setup_env.sh gradle"
+* The first time you want to open the project in Android Studio, select 'Import Project...' and choose the file "android/settings.gradle".
+ Android Studio will then create the '.iml' files it needs. If you ever close the project but the files are still there, you just select
+ 'Open Project...'. The file chooser will show an Android face as the folder icon, which you can select to reopen the project.
+* To build the project, follow the guidelines shown on [4. Building with Gradle][2].
+
+### 7. Create pull request:
+
NOTE: You must sign the [Contributor Agreement][1] before your changes can be accepted!
* Commit your changes locally: "git commit -a"
-* Push your changes to your Github repo: "git push"
+* Push your changes to your GitHub repo: "git push"
* Browse to https://github.com/YOURGITHUBNAME/android/pulls and issue pull request
* Click "Edit" and set "base:develop"
* Again, click "Edit" and set "compare:develop"
* Enter description and send pull request.
-### 4) Create another pull request:
+### 8. Create another pull request:
To make sure your new pull request does not contain commits which are already contained in previous PRs, create a new branch which is a clone of upstream/develop.
* git checkout -b my_new_develop_branch upstream/develop
* If you want to rename that branch later: "git checkout -b my_new_develop_branch_with_new_name"
* Push branch to server: "git push -u origin name_of_local_develop_branch"
