Stand up the Android-app repo per docs/android/PLAN.md M0: a buildable Kotlin + Jetpack Compose (Material 3) single-activity skeleton wired for Hilt, ready for the M1-M4 functional pass. - Gradle 8.7 wrapper; AGP 8.6.1 / Kotlin 2.0.20, JDK 17, minSdk 29, target 35. - Version catalog (gradle/libs.versions.toml) pins the full planned stack (Compose, Hilt, Retrofit/OkHttp + kotlinx.serialization, DataStore, security-crypto, Coil, Navigation) so later milestones reference by alias. - RunicGatewayApp (@HiltAndroidApp) + MainActivity (Compose) + ui/theme/*. - Strings externalized from day one; adaptive launcher icon; backup rules exclude the token store / DataStore (no session material off-device). - CI: .gitea/workflows/pr-checks.yml gates PRs with lint + test + assembleDebug (JDK 17 + Android SDK on the self-hosted runner; debug builds auto-signed, no secrets). Placeholder JVM unit test so the test gate runs. - .gitattributes forces LF on gradlew so the wrapper runs on the Linux runner. Verified locally: `gradle help`/`projects` configure the :app module and resolve all six plugins cleanly (full assemble needs the Android SDK, done in CI). app id: com.runicgateway.app (PLAN.md §13, pending runicgateway.app domain).

Runic Gateway — Android app
A native Android client for a Runic Gateway shard's public site + player self-service. It is
purely an API client of the website backend — it never talks to the link/ sidecar or the game
shard directly, and it ships none of the shard/sidecar wiring. It surfaces the same content and
player features as the website's browser client, minus every administrative/management console.
The authoritative design contract is docs/android/PLAN.md
in the RunicGateway/docs repo. The authoritative API reference is the committed OpenAPI spec at
website/server/swagger/swagger-output.json.
Status
M0 — repo scaffold. Gradle + Compose + Hilt skeleton with CI (lint + unit test + debug build). The functional Kotlin pass (M1–M4) and the design pass (M5) follow — see the plan's milestones (§9).
Stack
| Concern | Choice |
|---|---|
| Language / UI | Kotlin + Jetpack Compose (Material 3) |
| Navigation | Navigation-Compose, single-activity |
| HTTP | Retrofit + OkHttp, kotlinx.serialization |
| Async | Coroutines + Flow |
| DI | Hilt |
| Prefs / base URL | Jetpack DataStore |
| Tokens at rest | EncryptedSharedPreferences |
| Images | Coil |
| Min SDK | Android 10 (API 29) |
| Target / compile SDK | 35 |
Dependency and plugin versions are pinned in gradle/libs.versions.toml.
Build
Requires JDK 17 and the Android SDK (ANDROID_HOME / local.properties).
./gradlew assembleDebug # build a debug APK -> app/build/outputs/apk/debug/
./gradlew test # JVM unit tests
./gradlew lint # Android lint
./gradlew installDebug # install on a connected device/emulator
The app self-configures its server URL on first run (PLAN.md §3), so a single build works against any shard's website — there is no compiled-in API host.
CI
.gitea/workflows/pr-checks.yml gates PRs into main with ./gradlew lint test assembleDebug on the
org's self-hosted runner (JDK 17 + Android SDK). Debug builds are auto-signed, so the gate needs no
secrets. A signed release APK attached to a Gitea release comes at M6.
