Seeking maintainers / developers

[smarek]

This project has not been developed / maintained for few years. I've finally got hold of James Smith (loopj) and he transfered the whole project to organization (https://github.com/android-async-http) and I'm currently finally able to add more developers, which was issue from late 2014 (missing more developers)

So If you are interested in helping this community thrive again, let me know, and I'll definitely appreaciate any help.

Without more people to work on this project, the progress will be slow, and I cannot guarantee any specific time-allocation i could invest.

Is there any alternative available to this library?

[saeed-rz]

I want help to keep the project alive where should I start?

[smarek]

@saeed-rz thank you, you can either work on fixing issues on master branch (1.4.x releases), or help me get ready 1.5.x release on branch 1.5.0. I'll review your pull-requests (PRs), and if your work will be good, I can add you as project contributor, so you can close/assign issues and make direct changes in the code, without requiring my attention/time.

Does this sound good to you?

[saeed-rz]

yes, sounds good, I will start very soon

[smarek]

@saeed-rz I've just published, several times (stupid me), snapshot of 1.4.10, which will succeed the 1.4.9 version available since 2015

Standard path (direct) is : https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/loopj/android/android-async-http/1.4.10-SNAPSHOT/

Gradle configuration is mentioned in README.md in master

repositories {
  maven {
    url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
  }
}
dependencies {
  compile 'com.loopj.android:android-async-http:1.4.10-SNAPSHOT'
}

Will you please confirm to me, that the release is complete and fully functional, before I release it out in mavenCentral ?

Thank you!

[saeed-rz]

I've tested 1.4.10 and its look complete and fully functional. @smarek

[smarek]

@saeed-rz released just now to maven central, should appear in two hours tops

[saeed-rz]

thanks @smarek for inviting me to collaborate on the android-async-http

[smarek]

@saeed-rz thank you for contributing and having the will to keep the development going, current permission set will allow you to manage issues, not push to repository directly, you still have to use PRs for now

[vinayakb-pits]

@smarek I would like to join. Where should I start? Bug fixing?

[smarek]

@vinayakb-pits welcome, yes, take anything from the issues that is fixable and provider pull-request (PR) and it will take few PRs and I might add you as collaborator (same as @saeed-rz ), so you can close and re-categorize tickets and more. Thank you!
