BIRTHDROID

Simple, ad free & open android birthday app/widget.

1. Install

Get from f-droid or download latest APK at https://github.com/rigid/Birthdroid/releases/latest

2. Features

  • free & open
  • no fancy permissions
  • low battery usage
  • doesn't phone home

3. Compile

Use the provided Makefile wrapper. Available targets are

  • make keygen - generate own keystore
  • make update - update project
  • make all - build release
  • make debug - build debug
  • make sign - sign release
  • make install - push .apk to device using adb
  • make install_debug - push debugging .apk to device using adb

e.g. make update && make keygen && make && make sign && make install

You need the appcompat library to compile Birthdroid. You might have to update that path for the update target in the Makefile.

  2. You'll see a list of contacts with upcoming birthdays
  3. Use the preferences menu to configure various settings
  4. (optional) add a widget to your home-screen that continously shows upcoming birthdays

5. FAQ

  • Q: How can I force-refresh the birthday list or the widget content?
    • A: Data will be refreshed regularly every 24 hours and after you leave the preferences. To force a refresh, open and close the preferences dialog from the app menu.
