gsoc taverna mobile - should android studio *.iml files be added to git?

Hello,

I am in the process of importing the tavern mobile app into android studio and it has asked me if I want to add 'app.iml' and 'incubator-taverna-mobile.iml' to git. I have googled for an answer to this but can't find a definitive one.

@Larry is there a reason you have not added those files? I have the feeling that incubator-taverna-mobile.iml only has that name based on the source code directory name. Are these files autogenerated and different for every user?

Cheers,

Ian

Not necessarily.

Yeah, this is true. Understood.

Hello,

Should the app/build directory be committed? I think it should be removed and added to gitignore. Otherwise it makes merging code hard because the build files will be different on everyone's machine and it will want to commit my 'changes'. The same probably applies to *.iml files.

Cheers,

Ian

I don't know about these files but i have tried importing the project myself into a different install of Android studio with no issues. The files definitely aren't autogeenrated. All auto generated files are submitted alongside the git commits and are not excluded from the commits unless otherwise explicitly configured as such.
Try using version 1.1.0 of Android studio.

cheers
