+If you want to start help developing ownCloud please follow the [contribution guidelines][0] and observe these instructions:
- 1. Fork and download android/develop repository:
-
- - NOTE: You must have git in your enviroment path
- - Navigate to https://github.com/owncloud/android, click fork.
- - Clone your new repo: "git clone git@github.com:YOURGITHUBNAME/android.git"
- - "cd android"
- - Checkout remote develop branch: "git checkout -b develop remotes/origin/develop"
- - Pull changes from your develop branch: "git pull origin develop"
- - Make sure to get the latest changes from official android/develop branch:
- - Make official owncloud repo known as upstream: "git remote add upstream git@github.com:owncloud/android.git"
- - Pull latest changes from upstream: "git pull upstream develop"
-
- 2. Building with console/maven:
-
- - OPTIONAL, CONTINUE WITH STEP 3 IF NOT REQUIRED!
- - NOTE: You must have mvn in your enviroment path
- - Download/install Android plugin for Maven, then build ownCloud with mvn:
- - "cd .."
- - "git clone https://github.com/mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer.git"
- - "cd maven-android-sdk-deployer"
- - "mvn -pl com.simpligility.android.sdk-deployer:android-17 -am install"
- - "cd ../android"
- - Now you can create APK using "mvn package"
-
- 3. Building with Eclipse:
-
- - NOTE: You must have android/tools, and 'platforms-tools' in your enviroment path
- - Prepare building with Eclipse:
- - "setup_env.bat" or "./setup_env.sh"
- - Open Eclipse and create new "Android Project from Existing Code". As root choose android/actionbarsherlock/library
- - Increase Android API level until project compiles. 14 should work.
- - Clean project and compile.
- - Make sure android/actionbarsherlock/library/bin/library.jar was created!
- - Import OwnCloud Android project.
- - Increase Android API level to 17.
- - Clean project and compile.
- - After those actions you should be good to go. HAVE FUN!
- - NOTE: Even though API level is set to 17, APK also runs on older devices because in AndroidManifest.xml minSdkVersion is set to 8.

- 4. Create pull request:
+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"
+* Move to the project folder with "cd android"
+* Checkout remote develop branch: "git checkout -b develop remotes/origin/develop"
+* 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"
+
+At this point you can continue using different tools to build the project. Section 2, 3 and 4 describe some of the existing alternatives.
+
+2. Building with Ant:
- - 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"
- - 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.
+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" .
+* Run "ant clean" .
+* Run "ant debug" to generate a debuggable version of the ownCkoud app.
+
+3. Building with console/maven:
+
+NOTE: You must have mvn in your environment path
+
+* Download/install Android plugin for Maven, then build ownCloud with mvn:
+* "cd .."
+* "git clone https://github.com/mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer.git"
+* "cd maven-android-sdk-deployer"
+* "mvn -pl com.simpligility.android.sdk-deployer:android-17 -am install"
+* "cd ../android"
+* Now you can create APK using "mvn package"
+

+
+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.
+* 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.
+* Make sure android/actionbarsherlock/library/bin/library.jar was created.
+* Create a new "Android Project from Existing Code". Choose android/oc_framework/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/oc_framework/bin/classes.jar was created.
+* Import ownCloud Android project.
+* Clean project and compile.
+* If any error appears, check the project properties; in the 'Android' section:
+ - API Level should be 19 or greater.
+ - Two library projects should appear referred in the bottom square: actionbarsherlock/library and oc_framework. 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.
