Contribute to dav4android

[schabi]

Is it possible to contribute to this project, I’m specifically asking about dav4android.

[rfc2822]

Hello,

Of course. What would you like to contribute?

Hi @rfc2822 , as we discussed a couple of weeks ago, we would like to include ownCloud support to your library and complete your WebDAV implementation so other apps can take advantage of it.

We’ve been working on it during the last weeks and created an add_oc_support branch in https://gitlab.com/ownclouders/dav4android/tree/add_ocsupport, you can see the changes in https://gitlab.com/ownclouders/dav4android/merge_requests/1/.

Could you have a look at it , give us your insights and tell us what is your procedure to contribute? You don’t have Merge Requests tab, do you?

Thanks!

[rfc2822]

@davigonz Thanks for your feedback and contributions.

I will have a look at them and see how I can merge them. Unfortunately, we just had to rewrite large parts of dav4android for XML streaming support. But future development should be relatively (API) stable

I’d also like to make a CONTRIBUTING file with clear instructions on how contributing works. Please have some patience

[davigonz]

@rfc2822 we already have your latest changes in the branch I pasted above, thanks for having a look at them, we think they will be interesting for many users.

Looking forward to see the CONTRIBUTING file, if you have any question, do not hesitate to ping me.

@rfc2822 just to give you a bit more of context, we have replaced the old network library in the ownCloud Android app and started to use OkHttp along with dav4android to perform the WebDAV requests. Besides, we released a new app version recently (2.8) and we would like to release 2.9 with the new library using OkHttp and dav4android soon.

Thanks!
