OpenKeychain (for Android)
OpenKeychain is an OpenPGP implementation for Android.
For a more detailed description and installation instructions go to https://www.openkeychain.org .
Branches
- The development of OpenKeychain happens in the "master" branch.
- For every release a new branch, e.g., "3.2-fixes" is created to backport fixes from "master"
How to help the project?

Build with Gradle
- Clone the project from GitHub
- Get all external submodules with
git submodule update --init --recursive
- Have Android SDK "tools", "platform-tools", and "build-tools" directories in your PATH (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
- Open the Android SDK Manager (shell command:
android
). Expand the Tools directory and select "Android SDK Build-tools (Version 27.0.3)". Expand the Extras directory and install "Android Support Library", as well as "Local Maven repository for Support Libraries" Select SDK Platform for API levels 27. - Export ANDROID_HOME pointing to your Android SDK
- Execute
./gradlew assembleFdroidDebug
- You can install the app with
adb install -r OpenKeychain/build/outputs/apk/OpenKeychain-fdroid-debug.apk
The "google" flavor is only used to include donations via Play Store, for development the "fdroid" flavor should be used.
Run Tests
- Use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK
- Execute
./gradlew clean testFdroidDebugUnitTest --continue
Run Jacoco Test Coverage
- Use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK
- Execute
./gradlew clean testFdroidDebugUnitTest jacocoTestReport
- Report is here: OpenKeychain/build/reports/jacoco/jacocoTestReport/html/index.html
Development with Android Studio
We are using the newest Android Studio for development. Development with Eclipse is currently not possible because we are using the new project structure.
- Clone the project from Github
- Get all external submodules with
git submodule update --init --recursive
- From Android Studio: File -> Import Project -> Select the cloned top folder

Build System
We try to make our builds as reproducible/deterministic as possible.
Update Gradle version
- Always use a fixed Android Gradle plugin version not a dynamic one, e.g.
0.7.3
instead of0.7.+
(allows offline builds without lookups for new versions, also some minor Android plugin versions had serious issues, i.e. 0.7.2 and 0.8.1) - Update every build.gradle file with the new gradle version and/or gradle plugin version
- build.gradle
- OpenKeychain/build.gradle
- run ./gradlew wrapper twice to update gradle and download the new gradle jar file
- commit the corresponding Gradle wrapper to the repository (allows easy building for new contributors without the need to install the required Gradle version using a package manager)
Update SDK and Build Tools
- Change SDK and Build Tools in git submodules "openkeychain-api-lib" and "openpgp-api-lib" manually. They should also build on their own without the ext variables.
Update library
- You can check for library updates with ``./gradlew dependencyUpdates -Drevision=release
Add new library
- You can add the library as a Maven dependency or as a git submodule (if patches are required) in the "extern" folder.
- You can get all transitive dependencies with
./gradlew -q dependencies OpenKeychain:dependencies
- If added as a git submodule, change the
compileSdkVersion
in build.gradle to use the variables from the root project:
android {
compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
}
- You can check for wrong
compileSdkVersion
byfind -name build.gradle | xargs grep compileSdkVersion
Slow Gradle?
- https://www.timroes.de/2013/09/12/speed-up-gradle/
- Disable Lint checking if it is enabled in build.gradle
Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found.
Gradle project dependencies are missing. Do a git submodule init && git submodule update
Build on Mac OS X fails?
Try exporting JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF8"
Translations
Translations are hosted on Transifex, which is configured by ".tx/config".
- To pull newest translations install transifex client (e.g.
apt-get install transifex-client
) - Config Transifex client with "~/.transifexrc"
- Go into root folder of git repo
- execute
tx pull -af --skip
see http://help.transifex.net/features/client/index.html#user-client
Coding Style
Code
- Indentation: 4 spaces, no tabs.
- Maximum line width for code and comments: 100.
- Opening braces don't go on their own line.
- Field names: Non-public, non-static fields start with m.
- Acronyms are words: Treat acronyms as words in names, yielding !XmlHttpRequest, getUrl(), etc.
- Fully Qualify Imports: Do not use wildcard-imports such as
import foo.*;
- Android Studio warnings should be fixed, or suppressed if they are incorrect.
The full coding style can be found at http://source.android.com/source/code-style.html
Automated syntax check with CheckStyle
Linux
- Paste the
tools/checkstyle.xml
file to~/.AndroidStudioPreview/config/codestyles/
- Go to Settings > Code Style > Java, select OpenPgpChecker, as well as Code Style > XML and select OpenPgpChecker again.
- Start code inspection and see the results by selecting Analyze > Inspect Code from Android-Studio or you can directly run checkstyle via cli with
.tools/checkstyle
. Make sure it's executable first.
Mac OSX
- Paste the
tools/checkstyle.xml
file to~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview/codestyles
- Go to Preferences > Code Style > Java, select OpenPgpChecker, as well as Code Style > XML and select OpenPgpChecker again.
- Start code inspection and see the results by selecting Analyze > Inspect Code from Android-Studio or you can directly run checkstyle via cli with
.tools/checkstyle
. Make sure it's executable first.
Windows
- Paste the
tools/checkstyle.xml
file toC:\Users\<UserName>\.AndroidStudioPreview\config\codestyles
- Go to File > Settings > Code Style > Java, select OpenPgpChecker, as well as Code Style > XML and select OpenPgpChecker again.
