Development guidelines
======================
Commiting Changes / Pull Requests

2. Create separate branch for each feature, branch from most recent dev
3. Commit all changes to your fork
4. When ready, rebase on top of dev and make pull request to main repo
Naming Conventions for Pull Requests / Branches
-----------------------------------------------
TODO
Translations
------------
* If possible, always use Android translation mechanism (with strings.xml and @strings/id) instead of hardcoded texts
* Provide only English strings - all other languages will be crowd translated via Crowdn https://translations.androidaps.org/
Hints
-----
* Start small, it is easier to review smaller changes that affect fewer parts of code
* Take a look into Issues list (https://github.com/MilosKozak/AndroidAPS/issues) - maybe there is somthing you can fix or implement
* For new features, make sure there is Issue to track progress and have on-topic discussion
* Reach out to community, discuss idea on Gitter (https://gitter.im/MilosKozak/AndroidAPS)
* Speak with other developers to minimise merge conflicts. Find out who worked, working or plan to work on speciffic issue or part of app
