QuasselDroid-ng

Quassel is a distributed, decentralized IRC client, written using C++ and Qt. QuasselDroid is a pure-java client for the Quassel core, allowing you to connect to your Quassel core using your Android ™ phone.

Inspired by and based on QuasselDroid

##Build Requirements

QuasselDroid requires you to have the latest version of gradle installed, and a recent version of the Android SDK installed (and configured via the environment variable ANDROID_HOME)

QuasselDroid uses the following libraries (although these are automatically downloaded from maven central):

• AndroidSlidingUpPanel Apache 2.0
• libquassel-java LGPL 3.0
• Guava Apache 2.0
• Joda-Time Apache 2.0
• Joda-Convert Apache 2.0
• Material Drawer Apache 2.0
• Material Dialogs MIT
• ButterKnife Apache 2.0
• Android Support Libraries Apache 2.0
  Android Support Library requires the corresponding package to be installed in the SDK manager

##Building

The build process uses gradle, and requires it to be available as command "gradle". Use the install.sh script to pull and build the dependencies.

Run gradle tasks to see possible tasks, gradle assembleRelease to assemble a release build and gradle installDebug to install a debug build on a device connected via adb.

To sign your releases, generate a keypair and create a file named signing.gradle in the app/ folder with the following content to let gradle automatically sign your builds.

    storeFile=/path/to/your/keystore/here.keystore
    storePassword=passwordofyourkeystorehere
    keyAlias=nameofyourkeyhere
    keyPassword=passwordofyourkeyhere

##Note

This is a very early alpha version, and should not be used as daily driver just yet.

##History

The project was originally started by freqmod in December 2010 as a simple PoC, and then expanded by magnuf, sandsmark and Kenji until late 2014 into a usable Android app. At that time justJanne started a first fork to introduce Holo design, then rebased that fork and turned it into a pull request. Later finding more and more missing features, and more and more bugs, justJanne ended up rewrite large parts of the code, and became the sole maintainer in late 2015.

As it became obvious that it would be increasingly harder to properly maintain the software, justJanne decided to rewrite it around that time, and implement the full protocol (not just a subset) this time around, also focusing on better design this time.

The older implementation is still available at https://github.com/sandsmark/QuasselDroid.
