Android App

[ShadowCone]

I am glad to annouce the release of the new official Android app!

I released it for now on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...te.android) as well as putting the same apk file on GitHub (for those who dont like google. link: https://github.com/cuberite/android/releases/latest). Soon™ it will be released on fdroid (dont wait for it.... it may take a while)

Link on the cuberite.org website and official news are still outstanding. @Mathias i would be glad if you could do that.

I would be glad to receive pull requests containing translations. Here is a quick guide.

1. Identify your language code. For Portuguese, this is pt, for German de, French fr and so on.
2. Navigate to app/src/main/res in the git repo (https://github.com/cuberite/android/tree...c/main/res) and create a directory, called values-<language code>. 
3. Copy over strings.xml from values to values-<language code>
4. Edit the new strings file:
 4.1: Delete all translatable=false lines
 4.2: Translate all other lines (Note: for portuguese we had to choose whether Cuberite is male or female. We have chosen male, so if you are unsure and want to stay consisten, choose male too
5. Commit the changes and propose the Pull Request!

6. Please also these Google Play lines and post the translation in this thread:

A lightweight, fast and extensible game server for Minecraft

Cuberite is a Free and Open Source (FOSS) Minecraft-compatible game server. Cuberite is designed with performance, configurability, and extensibility in mind, and also aims to accurately recreate most Minecraft features. The server is written in C++, and there is an extensive plugin system that allows for the user to write their own plugins with Lua.

The current version works with Minecraft 1.8 - 1.10, but we recommend playing on Minecraft 1.8, as Cuberite lacks a few Minecraft 1.9 and 1.10 features.

You can find the source of Cuberite on GitHub: https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite

And you can also find the source of this app on GitHub: https://github.com/cuberite/android

7. Translate changelog. Check out this thread frequently and post translations of the changlog starting from "Added <language> translation"

Known bugs:
 - occasional there may be dns issues. Use the button in the settings to turn off authentication if you are experiencing them (Failed to authenticate)
 - Appearantly the server console isn't allways 100% on track with the real output. But if you enter anything and press execute you should get all messages, actually

Changelog:
 - Version 1.1: Official Release
 - Version 1.2: Added Portuguese translation

Almost forgot it!

Credits are due where credits are due!

Most of the important work (getting cuberite to run on Android) was done by @tigerw THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I myself did the app's code

And translations:
Thanks to @yangm97 for Portuguese

Awesome!

It seems the description is outdated though. We also have support for the 1.11 protocol.

[ShadowCone]

Yeah but at the time of writing i heared that it is very experimental and not to advise (and i used the stuff that is on cuberite.org)

[Mathias]

I will update the website as soon as possible.

[yangm97]

       

not so fast about 1.11 support 

[NiLSPACE]

Right, mobs weren't implemented yet.

Since the Android app is now in the public stores, I guess it would be good to write a blog post. @"Cl1608Ho"? @Mathias?

[ShadowCone]

@Mathias already said he wanted to update the website, and I made a father useless pr for that too

[RandalWright]

If I download those Android apps from https://modilimitado.io/en , can they update themselves or do I have to use other apps?
