Contribution/Pull Requests

I welcome and encourage all pull requests. It usually will take me within 24-48 hours to respond to any issue or request. Here are some basic rules to follow to ensure timely addition of your request:

1. Match coding style (braces, spacing, etc.) This is best achieved using Reformat Code feature of Android Studio CMD+Option+L on Mac and CTRL + ALT + L on Linux + Windows .

2. If its a feature, bugfix, or anything please only change code to what you specify.

3. Please keep PR titles easy to read and descriptive of changes, this will make them easier to merge :)

4. Pull requests must be made against develop branch. Any other branch (unless specified by the maintainers) will get rejected.

5. Check for existing issues first, before filing an issue.

6. Make sure you follow the set standard as all other projects in this repo do

   • Upgrade your gradle wrapper to the one all other apps are using. Use the below command at root of your project

     ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version <version_name>
     

     i.e ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.5

   • Use the package name of the format github.nisrulz.example.* where * is the example you are adding to the repo. I am trying to follow a set standard in the repo, please adhere to that.

7. Have fun!
