Answer 1

Its clearly documented in the repo readme file

Download and install:

Open cmd/terminal

Navigate to your workspace

Then type in:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git for the dev branch:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App.git -b dev Run the following script News-Android-App/remove_invalid_languages.sh

Import the Project and start coding!

If you should ever get a Gradle error Configuration with name 'default' not found while building, execute following commands in the projects root directory:

git submodule init git submodule update

UPDATE I tried to import the project myself and found that it requires multiple API and Build tool versions. after installing all of them It takes a significant amount of time to build. Wait for the Android studio to build the project.

I have recorded my steps with windows recorder. Here they are https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Juf5kLJb5QdjZGQUExNkJZYnc/view?usp=sharing
