Dear visitor. I was hoping to be able to resume development of the app further a bit sooner. However, I am still not finished with moving into my new place. Because this entire app is kept afloat as a hobby project next to my 9-5 job, I have to officially declare that development is on hold until my move is finished. Most importantly my PC has to move to its final location and I need to unpack my Android testing devices.
I expect development and updates to start again in the Winter 2025. Until then the app will only get attention if when it breaks. Thanks for anyone purchasing the app on the play store. It is really exciting and encouraging to me to have built something that seemingly is useful for others!
Android integration for the open source web-app Baby Buddy (Source), which is optimized for quick timer starting and stopping and diaper logging for easier logging while handling children.
You can either install the APK from the lastest release directly or buy the app on the Google Play store:
The app is also available in the F-Driod repository kindly provided by @IzzySoft
User documentation is available as part of this repository and in the app as a slide show.

Building this project requires a relatively complex series of build
dependencies. There is a shell script check-build-prerequisites.sh that you
can execute, which verifies if all build dependencies are met. However, here
a manual list of software packages that need to be available in the build
environment:
- bash + coreutils
- curl
- GNU make
- gcc/g++ for building python packages (only sometimes, depends on the architecture)
- jq (JSON query tool)
- ImageMagick
- Specifically the commands: convert, composite
- pandoc >= 3.1.1
- Python3 >=3.8: Used for transforming and downloading resource files for the application
- Python packages, can be installed using
pip: pipenv, cython
- Python packages, can be installed using
- JDK 17, the environment variable
JAVA_HOMEneeds to point to the install path - Android SDK with Android NDK installed. The environment variable
ANDROID_HOMEneeds to poin to the Android SDK install path
Next, make sure that you cloned the repository recursively:
$ git submodule update --init --recursiveThis will make sure that the zxing library is downloaded, ready to be built alongside babybuddy-for-android.
Now check if the build-environment is ready. It should produce output as follows:
$ bash check-build-prerequisites.sh
== Checking build tools ==
Check if GNU make is installed...
Check if curl is installed...
Check if image magick is installed...
Check if python3, cython, and pipenv are installed...
Check if jq is installed...
Check if java 18.* is installed and accessible via JAVA_HOME...
Verify if ANDROID_HOME is set and contains the android sdk we need...
Reading targetSdk value from app/build.gradle...
Check if Android NDK is installed...
== Checking build dependencies ==
Check if zxing is downloaded...
== All required build tools and dependencies are installed ==Next, you can use the default set of gradlew-commands to build the project as needed. However, when running things merely from the console, it is unlikely that you have an android emulator running to run the full test suite. The android emulator is needed for some integration tests that interface with the android system libraries. To run a build without running integration tests, use:
./gradlew build -PskipIntegrationTestsHope that this all works for you, happy building!
