aw-android

GitHub Actions badge Play Store ratings

A very work-in-progress ActivityWatch app for Android.

Available on Google Play:

Usage

Install the APK from the Play Store or from the GitHub releases.

For Oculus Quest

Note At some point a Quest system upgrade broke the ability to allow ActivityWatch access to usage stats. This can be fixed by manually assigning the needed permission using adb: adb shell appops set net.activitywatch.android android:get_usage_stats allow

It's available on SideQuest.

Building

To build this app you first need to build aw-server-rust (./aw-server-rust) and aw-webui (./aw-server-rust/aw-webui).

If you haven't already, initialize the submodules with: git submodule update --init --recursive

Building aw-server-rust

Note If you don't want to go through the hassle of getting Rust up and running, you can download the jniLibs from aw-server-rust CI artifacts and place them in mobile/src/main/jniLibs manually instead of following this section.

To build aw-server-rust you need to have Rust nightly installed (with rustup). Then you can build it with:

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=`pwd`/aw-server-rust/NDK  # The path to your NDK
pushd aw-server-rust && ./install-ndk.sh; popd    # This configures the NDK for use with Rust, and installs the NDK if missing
env RELEASE=false make aw-server-rust             # Set RELEASE=true to build in release mode (slower build, harder to debug)

Note The Android NDK will be downloaded by install-ndk.sh to aw-server-rust/NDK if ANDROID_NDK_HOME not set. You can create a symlink pointing to the real location if you already have it elsewhere (such as /opt/android-ndk/ on Arch Linux).

Building aw-webui

To build aw-webui you need a recent version of node/npm installed. You can then build it with make aw-webui.

Putting it all together

Once both aw-server-rust and aw-webui is built, you can build the Android app as any other Android app using Android Studio.

Making a release

To make a release, make a signed tag and push it to GitHub:

git tag -s v0.1.0
git push origin refs/tags/v0.1.0

This will trigger a GitHub Actions workflow which will build the app and upload it to GitHub releases, and deploy it to the Play Store (including the metadata in ./fastlane/metadata/android).
