It's so sad to see gnucash-android abandoned...

The app was downloaded more than 100.000 times on the Play Store and more than 6500 users reviewed it, giving on average 4.2 stars.

Maybe @codinguser could give writing permissions to @slak44 or @JeanGarf who have contributed a lot in the last year, as it is here reported:

https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android/pull/882#issue-642035617

(the last commit was on Jun 8, 2021)

Independent improvements of @slak44 are here: https://github.com/slak44/gnucash-android

Looking at old contributors, maybe @rivaldi8, @aint, @jorgeml are still interested to help?

I added gnucash-android to this list of projects in need of maintainers here: https://github.com/pickhardt/maintainers-wanted/pull/57#issue-1205617267

Any other idea that could help? Lots of people use the app! Maybe we could help with donations as well.

@Kaligula0 I added you as "bug fixer" and "translator" to the Contributors list. The list is not binding, it's just to get an overview of who would like to help and how ;-) But youre right, I was a bit too hasty there ^^ e.g. I still haven't received an answer from @gutierri if he would like to be maintainer too I don't want to force things on you guys. Also if I don't hear from you in the relevant issues, I will remove them again after some time - or if they don't want to be on that list anymore..

I claim that the future name and scope are settled now, nobody contested since my last post.

There are a couple of big issues we should tackle next (e.g. the aforementioned CI/CD, major contributions to merge, renamings, etc.). I propose a plan in https://github.com/GnuCash-Pocket/gnucash-android/issues/8. Let's further discuss there :) Please everybody feel free to comment there if you have other big/important things to consider at this stage.

I think it would be better to make sure we're all synced about that and that your changes are accepted before dealing with all that, BTW are your build instructions submitted to F-Droid/GitHub Actions/etc.? Does that make sense @XilinJia ?

@yarons That makes sense. So far, the code built successfully locally. I haven't gone through F-Droid/GitHub Actions. Perhaps someone more experienced in that can do it quickly?

yarons commented 2 years ago

@XilinJia This issue is exactly about that, you can start by posting your current way of doing it and we'll take it from there.

XilinJia commented 2 years ago

you can start by posting your current way of doing it and we'll take it from there. @yarons my current way of doing what?

yarons commented 2 years ago

Compiling, sorry for I forgot to mention that part.

@yarons nothing special. build.gradle, gradle.properties, gradlew are included. If you clone the branch, then (after Intellij or Android Studio download required packages) it should build.

I just tried cloning and building the project and it fails

I finally managed to set up a stable, secure and public CI for the project 🎉 see https://github.com/GnuCash-Pocket/gnucash-android/pull/18 the pull request is now open for reviews from anyone interested when it's merged we can automatically verify all future contributions

I wanted to know what happened to this project? I have gone through all of the comments here. and gone through lot of clones of this repository. But as far as I think it now needed the most of rework as the things have changed now. Did any of you other then the GnuCash Kotlin made any recent changes? Is there any updated clone to this? Is this ported under some other name and is in active development now or long dead? Do you have some other open source alternative to this nowdays?

Kaligula0 commented 11 months ago

Look at GnuCash-Pocket that djbrown linked in previous comment. We try to revive it.

pnemonic78 commented 10 months ago

I have already opened a few PRs in GnuCash-Pocket, if anybody cares to approve... :-)
