Notes for Developers and Maintainers

Build

• The project uses JAVA with JDK version 11

Publish a new release

The publishing process is largely automated via the publish.gradle files, thanks to the excellent tutorial at Publishing Android libraries to MavenCentral in 2021.
Integration with GitHub action is also described, but currently not used. Therefore you have to:

• Create or update the local.properties file in the project root to supply the required credentials

  # GPG signing key (mandatory for maven central)
  # secretKeyRingFile must be in binary format, e.g. gpg --export-secret-keys XXXX > XXXX.gpg
  signing.keyId=XXXX
  signing.password=XXXX
  signing.secretKeyRingFile=PATH\\TO\\XXXX.gpg
  # Sonatype credentials
  # https://s01.oss.sonatype.org
  ossrhUsername=XXXX
  ossrhPassword=XXXX
  sonatypeStagingProfileId=XXXX
  

• Update the version numbers in project root build.gradle
• Select and run the Release new version run configuration in Android Studio or call it with .\gradlew release
  It will build and upload the release, update the README, make a git commit and tag the new version
• Publish the release at https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories
• Push to GitHub and create release notes at https://github.com/eltos/SimpleDialogFragments/releases
