Importing into Android Studio

Requirements

• Android Build Tools 25.0.3 *
• We're compiling against Android API 25, so make sure you have that one installed.

Upload translations source file

If new strings that require translation have been added to the project, the gradle task uploadTranslationsSourceFile() must be started manually. It uploads the strings.xml file to the XTM backend and the C&T team is automatically notified that new translations are needed. In case of a successful upload, you should see an according status message printed out.

Testing

To test the whole functionality of the application you will need a Samsung Android device with Android 5.0+ (Lollipop) and Samsung Internet 4.0+.

Emulators won't help you here, unfortunately.
