I2P-Bote for Android

Bote is an Android port of I2P-Bote.

Build process

Preparation

1. Install I2P. You need the installed libraries to build against.

2. Download the Android SDK. The simplest method is to download Android Studio.

3. Check out the i2p.i2p-bote and i2p.i2p-bote.android repositories.

4. Create a local.properties file in i2p.i2p-bote.android/app containing:

   i2pbase=/path/to/installed/i2p
   botesrc=/path/to/i2p.i2p-bote
   

5. Gradle will pull dependencies over the clearnet by default. To use Tor, create a gradle.properties file in i2p.i2p-bote.android containing:

   systemProp.socksProxyHost=localhost
   systemProp.socksProxyPort=9150
   

Building from the command line

1. Create a local.properties file in i2p.i2p-bote.android containing:

   sdk.dir=/path/to/android-studio/sdk
   

2. ./gradlew assembleDebug

3. The APK will be placed in i2p.i2p-bote.android/app/build/apk.

Building with Android Studio

1. Import i2p.i2p-bote.android into Android Studio. (This creates the local.properties file automatically).

2. Build and run the app (Shift+F10).
