teamcode 2022-2023

Codebase for FTC game season 2022-23, POWERPLAY

Working with Android Studio

Setting up Android Studio

Simply run the following command in the terminal on macOS/linux to setup Git and the FtcRobotController Android Studio Project

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Big-Green-7245/teamcode2022_23/main/.assets/setupRepo.sh)"

---

Alternatively, follow the follow guide

To work with the repository in Android Studio, first clone the newest (currently 7.2) version of FtcRobotController App. Then, replace the teamcode folder with this repository.

This can be easily done through git. In the terminal, move to a folder where you keep your robotics stuff, and run the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController.git
cd FtcRobotController/
sudo rm -r .git
cd TeamCode/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/teamcode/
rm *
git clone https://github.com/Big-Green-7245/teamcode2022_23.git .

Uploading the code

To upload code to the device, connect to the Control Hub via USB or WiFi-Direct. Select the device and upload.

Note if connected wirelessly, Android Studio might require cli adb connection first with the following command

adb connect 192.168.43.1:5555

---

Once connected, it should look like the above.

Making sure the code updates

Every TeleOp/Autonomous program should have a programVer variable to keep track of version increments. Sometimes Android Studio does not update the code right away.

final String programVer="1.0";

Trouble Shooting / Misc

Sdk Not Found

If you get an error saying that the Android Sdk is not found, try adding local.properties in your project root directory with the following line

sdk.dir=/Users/yourusernamehere/Library/Android/sdk

or pointing to wherever your Android Sdk is located.

Using Java 17 😎

Or other newer versions

To use Java 17, two files need to be edited: build.common.gradle and /FtcRobotController/build.gradle.
Locate

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

in both files and replace VERSION_1_7 or VERSON_1_8 with VERSION_17. Then resync gradle through a button that should appear towards the top right or through the gradle menu on the right (Gradle -> Reload All Gradle Projects).
