Reporting Non Security Issues

A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed issue when you encounter a problem. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report.

Check that the project issues database doesn't already include that problem or suggestion before submitting an issue. If you find a match, add a quick "+1" or "I have this problem too." Doing this helps prioritize the most common problems and requests.

When reporting issues, please include the following:

  • The Android API you're using
  • The device you're targeting
  • The full output of any stack trace or compiler error
  • A code snippet that reproduces the described behavior, if applicable
  • Any other details that would be useful in understanding the problem

This information will help us review and fix your issue faster.

Pull Requests

We love pull requests!

All contributions will be licensed under the MIT license.

Code/comments should adhere to the following rules:

  • Every Pull request must have an Issue associated to it. PRs with not associated with an Issue will be closed
  • Code build and Code Lint must pass.
  • Names should be descriptive and concise.
  • Although they are not mandatory, PRs that include significant testing will be prioritized.
  • All enhancements and bug fixes need to be documented in the CHANGELOG.
  • When writing comments, use properly constructed sentences, including punctuation.
  • When documenting APIs and/or source code, don't make assumptions or make implications about race, gender, religion, political orientation or anything else that isn't relevant to the project.
  • Remember that source code usually gets written once and read often: ensure the reader doesn't have to make guesses. Make sure that the purpose and inner logic are either obvious to a reasonably skilled professional, or add a comment that explains it.
