### Writing an extension
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to write and debug an extension is by directly hardcoding it in Tachiyomi's source code. Once it's working there, you have to clone this repository and create a new folder with a similar structure to the other catalogues. Then copy your catalogue implementation and make sure to change the package name if it was different in Tachiyomi. Finally, write the `build.gradle` file, which has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
```gradle
|
|
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
|
|
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
|
|
|
|
ext {
|
|
appName = "Tachiyomi: My catalogue"
|
|
pkgNameSuffix = "lang.mycatalogue"
|
|
extClass = ".MyCatalogue"
|
|
extVersionCode = 1
|
|
extVersionSuffix = 1
|
|
libVersion = "1.0"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
apply from: '../common.gradle'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `appName` is the name of the Android application. By prefixing it with `Tachiyomi: `, it will be easier to locate with an Android package manager.
|
|
* `pkgNameSuffix` has to be unique, and it's added to `eu.kanade.tachiyomi.extension`. The language and the site should be enough. Remember your catalogue code implementation must be placed in this package.
|
|
* `extClass` points to the catalogue class. You can use a relative path starting with a dot (the package name is the base path). This is required for Tachiyomi to instantiate the catalogue.
|
|
* `extVersionCode` is the version code of the catalogue and should be increased with any change to the implementation.
|
|
* `extVersionSuffix` is the last part of the versioning.
|
|
* `libVersion` is the version of the [extensions library](https://github.com/inorichi/tachiyomi-extensions-lib)* used. When this value is changed, `extVersionSuffix` should be reset to `1`. With the example used above, the version of the catalogue would be `1.0.1`.
|
|
|
|
\* Note: this library only contains the method definitions so that the compiler can resolve them. The actual implementation is written in Tachiyomi.

|
When everything is done, you can create the apk in Android Studio with `Build > Build APK` or `Build > Generate Signed APK`. |
