## Architecture

This project follows ribot's Android architecture guidelines that are based on [MVP (Model View Presenter)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93presenter). Read more about them [here](https://github.com/ribot/android-guidelines/blob/master/architecture_guidelines/android_architecture.md).

## Code Quality

This project integrates a combination of unit tests, functional test and code analysis tools.

### Tests

To run **unit** tests on your machine:

```
./gradlew test
```

To run **functional** tests on connected devices:

```
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest
```

Note: For Android Studio to use syntax highlighting for Automated tests and Unit tests you **must** switch the Build Variant to the desired mode.

### Code Analysis tools

The following code analysis tools are set up on this project:

* [PMD](https://pmd.github.io/): It finds common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and so forth. See [this project's PMD ruleset](config/quality/pmd/pmd-ruleset.xml).

```
./gradlew pmd
```

* [Findbugs](http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/): This tool uses static analysis to find bugs in Java code. Unlike PMD, it uses compiled Java bytecode instead of source code.

```
./gradlew findbugs
```

* [Checkstyle](http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/): It ensures that the code style follows [our Android code guidelines](https://github.com/ribot/android-guidelines/blob/master/project_and_code_guidelines.md#2-code-guidelines). See our [checkstyle config file](config/quality/checkstyle/checkstyle-config.xml).

```
./gradlew checkstyle
```

### The check task

To ensure that your code is valid and stable use check:

```
./gradlew check
```

This will run all the code analysis tools and unit tests in the following order:

## Distribution

The project can be distributed using either [Crashlytics](http://support.crashlytics.com/knowledgebase/articles/388925-beta-distributions-with-gradle) or the [Google Play Store](https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher).

### Play Store

We use the __Gradle Play Publisher__ plugin. Once set up correctly, you will be able to push new builds to
the Alpha, Beta or production channels like this

```
./gradlew publishApkRelease
```
Read [plugin documentation](https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher) for more info.

### Crashlytics

You can also use Fabric's Crashlytics for distributing beta releases. Remember to add your fabric
account details to `app/src/fabric.properties`.

To upload a release build to Crashlytics run:

```
./gradlew assembleRelease crashlyticsUploadDistributionRelease
```
