Android Question What to include in .gitignore?

bryantm1122 · Feb 15, 2016

Hello,

I'm working on my first .gitignore file and curious what I should add for a B4A project. I found this: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Android.gitignore
for Android projects and thought B4A would be similar.
Is there anything specific to B4A that I should add?

Thanks!

I would add any .txt files too (because of the ObfuscatorMap's file)

This is not really required as the txt file is created in the objects folder. You shouldn't add the objects folder to the source control.

You should ignore the project meta file.

Hello,
You are right but in that case, couldn't we miss some important folders like
\res\layout for the widgets
\res\xml\ for the administrator

The widgets layouts files are created during compilation so they shouldn't be added.

If you do use other resources then they should be added.
Note that in v5.80 you can add resources from the manifest editor with the new CreateResource keyword.
