Java Compilation Error: "error: self-reference in initializer"

[jalalmostafa]

I am trying to build the project so that I can debug #69 but no success. The build process fails on two compilation errors that are both "error: self-reference in initializer" in RequestHandler and WebFactory

Note that I am using:

• Android Studio 3.1.4
• Java SDK that is embedded in Android Studio
• Gradle 4.4 (embedded in Android Studio)

I suggest constructing a build instruction page for this project. The project is getting so big and the configuration needed to successfully launch the project is not minor either.

Try cloning from Git GUI/command line/anything but Android Studio and then:

1. Move google-services.json from app/.travis-ci to the app/ directory
2. Move secrets from the aforementioned folder to the root direcotry of AniTrend and rename it to secrets.properties.

There is also documentation written here: Link

Hi @jalalmostafa the issue #69 was already fixed in one of the commits that referenced the issue (just needs more testing so the apk is in a closed beta) If you're interested in testing consider joining the discord server for anitrend (you can find the entry in Overflow Menu -> Extras -> Discord

@TrickRoom thanks. It solved the issue. BTW, at first, I cloned using Github for Windows.

@wax911 I would be pleased to help!
