MAVSDK-Java

This is the Java frontend implementation to MAVSDK.

It is organized as follows:

• The examples directory contains Java and Android examples using the sdk.
• The sdk directory contains the actual SDK.

Detailed instructions on how to run the examples and how to build the SDK are available in those directories.

QuickStart

The fastest way to start is to follow the instructions in the README of the java-client example.

Coding style

Java/Android coding style is ensured using CheckStyle with the Google style.

Command line

A checkstyle task is defined in the root build.gradle of each project and can be run as follows:

$ ./gradlew checkstyle

The build task depends on checkstyle, meaning that $ ./gradlew build runs the checks as well.

IntelliJ / Android-Studio

There exist a plugin for CheckStyle in JetBrains' IDEs.

Setup

1. Install the plugin called "CheckStyle-IDEA" in IntelliJ / Android-Studio.
2. Import the checkstyle configuration as a code style scheme in Settings > Editor > Code Style > Java > Manage... > Import... by selecting "CheckStyle configuration" and then browsing to config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml.
3. In Settings > Other Settings > Checkstyle, change the "Scan Scope" to "Only Java sources (including tests)".
4. Still in Settings > Other Settings > Checkstyle, add a new configuration file and browse to config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml.

Usage

In IntelliJ / Android-Studio's bottom task bar, you should see a "CheckStyle" tab. It will allow you to select your configuration with the "Rules" dropdown-list, and to run the analysis on your code.

Note that by default, the IDE will not run checkstyle when building the project (whereas $ ./gradlew build always does it).

Troubleshooting

In IntelliJ / Android-Studio, the IDE might force the order of the imports in a way that is not following the checkstyle rules. For some reason, this is not set when importing checkstyle.xml as a code style scheme. However, it can be manually updated in Settings > Code Style > Java > Import Layout.
