Google Santa Tracker for Android 🎅🤶
================================

## About

This repo is a fork of the [Google Santa Tracker app for Android](https://github.com/google/santa-tracker-android). This for was created to as a companion sample to demonstrate some of the tips and tricks on how to speed up your Android Gradle builds.

## How to use this repo
Check out this repo and switch to the agp-3.5.0 branch. This branch contains the pre-optimized build configurations. See [Getting the first build working section](#firstbuild).

Best way to observe the build performance in this branch is to use the [Gradle profiler] (https://github.com/gradle/gradle-profiler). You should familiarize yourself with the Gradle profiler before proceeding. Their repo contains excellent documentation.

Once you have observed the build performance of this branch in various scenarios (see `performance.scenarios`), you can switch to agp-3.0.0 branch to observe the optimized build performance by running the same set of build scenarios in `performance.scenarios` file. You can search throughout the project for "Tip" to find the build config tip to achieve the build time improvements.

## Getting the first build working

First up, Santa Tracker is powered by [Firebase][firebase], so you'll need to enable it
on your Google account over at the [Firebase console][fire-console]. Once you're in the
console, follow these steps:

* Create a new project
* Add Firebase to your Android app
* Package name: `com.google.android.apps.santatracker.debug`
* Debug signing certificate can be blank, or follow the instructions in the tooltip to find yours.
* Save the `google-services.json` file to the `santa-tracker/` directory

Now you should be able to plug your phone in (or fire up an emulator) and run:

./gradlew santa-tracker:installDebug

Alternatively, import the source code into Android Studio (File, Import Project).

Note: You'll need Android SDK version 28. If you're unsure about this, use
Android Studio and tick the appropriate boxes in the SDK Manager.
