CI/CD Workflows Collection

A centralized repository containing reusable GitHub Actions workflows designed to automate the Android development lifecycle. These pipelines handle tasks such as building APKs, running unit tests, linting code, and creating GitHub releases.

Available Workflows

Workflow Name	File Name	Trigger	Description
Build & Release APK	on_dispatch.yml	Tag Push (v*)	Builds a Debug/Release APK, renames it, and uploads it to GitHub Releases automatically.

---

How to Use

To use any of these workflows in your Android project:

1. Create a .github/workflows directory in the root of your project.
2. Copy the desired .yml file content from this repository.
3. Paste it into a new file inside your project (e.g., .github/workflows/release.yml).
4. Configure the required Secrets (see below).

---

Required Secrets

Some workflows (like the Release workflow) require secrets to access external services (like APIs) or to sign the app.

Go to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions in your target repository and add:

Secret Name	Required For	Description
NEWS_API_KEY	release.yml	Your API Key for fetching news (injected into local.properties).
KEYSTORE_PASSWORD	release-signed.yml	(Optional) Password for your signing Keystore (if using signed release).
KEY_ALIAS	release-signed.yml	(Optional) Key alias for signing.

    tags:
      - 'v*'

      - uses: actions/setup-java@v4
        with:
          java-version: '17'
          distribution: 'temurin'
      
      # Create local.properties with API Key
      - name: Create local.properties
        run: echo "NEWS_API_KEY=${{ secrets.NEWS_API_KEY }}" > local.properties

      - name: Build APK
        run: ./gradlew assembleDebug
        
      # Upload to Release...
