A simple contacts generating app (with contact photos)

How it works

• Choose a number of contacts to generate
• Pick a gender (you can also pick both)
• Choose whether to use contact photos or not
• Let it work in background or watch as it happens
• See the stats page with some interesting information

Requirements

To run the app, you will need at least Android 4.0, but to build the source you will need:

• Android SDK 4.0 or later (minimum SDK level is 14)
• Android Studio (to compile and run), Eclipse is not supported
• An emulator or a physical device to run the app and tests

Testing

You should be able to either test from AndroidStudio (right click -> Run Test) or from Gradle CLI (gradlew connectedCheck). Some tests require private user permissions, so you need to enable those manually from device settings in order for the tests to pass.

You can also check the code quality analysis here, and automated build status with available Unit and Integration tests here.

Additional information, credits and contribution

• Persons are fetched from a dedicated REST API on Random User, which is a part of Random API service. Big thanks to Arron and Keith!

• API key stored in raw folder is a public one. We keep the private key locally. When modifying the project, be sure to exclude that file either in your local version of the .gitignore file, or using the following git commands:

  To stop tracking files:

    git update-index --assume-unchanged FILENAME
  

  To start tracking files:

    git update-index --no-assume-unchanged FILENAME
  

• If you found a bug while using the app, please file an issue. We will be tracking further developent through GitHub issues as well.
