  • BUG_FIXING_SOMETHING
  • REFACTOR_CHANGING_SOMETHING
• Once you're done with your commits to this branch hit a pull request off and I'll look at it and most likely accept it if it looks good.

Using GitHub Issues

We use GitHub issues to track bugs and enhancements.

• If you find a bug please fill out an issue report. Provide as much information as possible.
• If you think of a great idea please fill out an issue as a proposal for your idea.

Code Conventions

None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull request but before a merge.

• We use idiomatic kotlin conventions
• Add yourself as an @author to the .kt files that you modify or create.
• Add some comments
• A few unit tests would help a lot as well -- someone has to do it.
• If you are able to provide a unit test then do.
  • Because of the types of libraries I develop often times it is hard to test.

Working with the code

If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use Android Studio
