Open source note-taking application for Android

 Omni-Notes

Note taking open-source application aimed to have both a simple interface but keeping smart behavior.

The project was created by the absence of such applications compatible with old phones and old versions of Android that would propose, however, an attractive look and aligned with the most recent design of the Google operating system

##Build the app

Due to the fact that I'm using gitflow as code versioning methodology (even before it was formalized) you, as developer should always start working on develop branch that contains the most recent changes.

To simplify the approach with the app code I switched to the new Android Studio IDE (BETAs are ready to be daily used) and I created a personal Maven repository to avoid you to download all the libraries and sub-projects Omni Notes depends on.

Short story long: you have to clone from Omni Notes' develop branch on GitHub the code into Android Studio, wait for all dependencies have been downloaded and start coding!

Don't forget to contribute to original code! Don't be selfish or lazy!

####Dependences

They're all listed into the build.gradle file but due to the fact that many of the dependences have been customized by me I'd like to say thanks here to the original developers of these great libraries:

• https://github.com/derekbrameyer/android-betterpickers
• https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/changeloglib
• https://github.com/LarsWerkman/HoloColorPicker
