Welcome to the Wiki for the Android app. The main wiki is https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org

We have a few Android-specific pages here though:

Pros and cons of releasing before the 15th

Issues currently in production

  • ANR at first start
  • Not possible to click the promo for producers in the environment tab
  • kCal/kJ edit issue

Issues introduced by current develop

  • The consent screen is badly integrated after the onboarding, and feels like a trick
  • The history is not working well
  • The photo manager is not working well
  • Matomo (need revamp of consent, otherwise it's a blocker)

New features introduced by current develop

  • Lists are displayed on product
  • Newer version of Sentry
  • Refreshed translations (which ones ?)
  • New ML kit scanner hidden within settings
  • Possibly ? Going back below the Bad Behaviour Threshold thanks to less bugs (and thus stop being demoted on the Play Store)
  • New onboarding that does a better job at explaining the scores
  • Possibly fixed ANR at startup (to double check, it happened to me again)
  • Better clipping for Robotoff
  • Matomo (need revamp of consent, otherwise it's a blocker)
  • Query minification is back
  • Performance improvements

How to update the in-app changelog ?

Generate screenshots for the Play Store

To activate the screenshots buildType in IDE, uncomment def result = "screenshots" and comment the other line otherwise the folder androidTestScreenshots is not recognized as a test folder. To generate localized screenshots of the app on your local computer, launch the command gradlew connectedOffScreenshotsAndroidTest --stacktrace --info -PtestBuildType=screenshots with a physical device attached to your computer Help is welcome to improve
