Hi everyone, To develop the search activity [1], we've been using a github repo that allows you to build and package a stand-alone version of the activity. I wanted to post an update about our workflow to let you all know what we've been doing, as well as make it clear for how you can also write patches!
Until now, the upstream repo has lived in eedens's github account, but we just moved it over to the Mozilla organization: https://github.com/mozilla/fennec-search To contribute to this search project, you still need to generate a patch for mozilla-central as you would for any other part of Fennec, but you can use this fennec-search repo as a tool to help you quickly develop and test your patch. The workflow basically looks like this: 1) Open fennec-search project in Android Studio 2) Develop your patch 3) In your fennec-search directory, run `grunt export --tree <path to your m-c>` to export changes to your m-c tree 4) Generate a patch as you normally would, upload patch to bugzilla, request review, etc. 5) Land patch on m-c and generate pull request back to fennec-search The first time you import the project into Android Studio, you will need to run `npm install` and `grunt --tree <path to your m-c>` to create some generated files, but you should only need to do that once. Feel free to ping me or eedens in #mobile if you have any trouble getting this set up. Also, we have plenty of bugs that need attention! If you would like to get involved hacking on these bugs, please refer to this list: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Search_activity_v1#P1_Bugs Thanks!
