This is an android client for [Mastodon, a GNU Social-compatible microblogging server](https://mastodon.social). Presently, it is in active development and its current state does not represent the features or design of the final program.
It is currently available for alpha testing on the [Tusky Google Play store page](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky).
Also, [my mastodon account is Vavassor@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/users/Vavassor).
## Building
### Dependencies
- Java Development Kit 7 or higher
- Android SDK
The project uses [the Gradle build system](https://gradle.org). Android studio uses Gradle by default, so it'd be straightforward to import this repository using your chosen version control software from the menu:
<pre>VCS > Checkout from version control > Git/SVN/Mercurial</pre>
After making it into an android studio project you can build/run as you wish.
It's also possible to build using Gradle by itself on the command line if you have it installed and configured. This repository includes a gradle wrapper script that can be used, following this guide [Build You App On The Command Line](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/building-cmdline.html).
