Scrambler

An attempt at an Android image metadata stripping library.

Just playing around to see if I can manage to extract the "scrambling" code from Scrambled Exif in case it is useful from somebody apart from myself :)

Please feel free to use it :)

Adding to your Android Studio Project

As gradle dependency using jitpack.io

Follow these instructions: https://jitpack.io/#com.gitlab.juanitobananas/scrambler/

As a git submodule

Add the library as a git submodule:

cd ~/git/my-cool-project
git submodule add https://gitlab.com/juanitobananas/scrambler.git

Note: You can (should) git commit that change to your original git repo now.

Set the git submodule as a module for gradle and Android Studio:

• Edit settings.gradle and add:

  include ':scrambler'
  project(':scrambler').projectDir = new File('scrambler/scrambler')

Now you just need to add it as a gradle dependency:

• In app/build.gradle add:

  implementation project(path: ':scrambler')

  to the dependencies section.

And that's it!

Some basic stuff about git submodules

• To clone your project with git, you will have to use the --recurse-submodules option.

• You can do a git pull/checkout/whatever inside the scrambler directory to update it or change to a different commit.

• If you have several submodules you'll probably already know this but you can update them all to the latest upstream commit with git submodule update --recursive --remote

• If your app is published to F-Droid, you will have to add a submodules=yes to your metadata so that F-Droid knows how to build your app.

Logging

Scrambler uses [Timber][https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber] for logging and doesn't "plant any tree" by itself, so it won't log unless you explicitly "plant a tree" yourself using Timber on your app.

This is most probably not the best way to log in a library, but I've always used Timber myself and haven't figured out a better way yet.
