πŸš€ Getting Started

Prerequisites

For Android Development

  • πŸ“± Android Studio Arctic Fox or newer
  • β˜• JDK 11 or higher
  • πŸ€– Android SDK API 21+
  • 🧠 Basic knowledge of Android development

For Python Development (Model Training)

  • 🐍 Python 3.9 or higher
  • πŸ”₯ PyTorch 2.0+
  • πŸ“¦ pip or uv package manager

πŸ“₯ Quick Start - Android App

If you just want to run the Android app with a pretrained model:

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/umitkacar/Pytorch-Android-Mobile-Application.git
    cd Pytorch-Android-Mobile-Application
  2. Quick Export Pretrained Model πŸš€ (NEW!)

    # Install Python dependencies
    pip install -e ".[dev]"
    
    # Export pretrained model and copy to Android assets
    make quick-export
    # OR manually:
    python -m pytorch_mobile.export --model mobilenet_v2 --output models/model.pt --optimize --quantize
    cp models/model.pt HelloWorldApp/app/src/main/assets/

    Alternative: Download pre-trained model

  3. Open in Android Studio

    • Open Android Studio
    • Select "Open an existing project"
    • Navigate to HelloWorldApp directory
    • Wait for Gradle sync to complete
  4. Build and Run

    • Connect your Android device or start an emulator
    • Click Run ▢️ button
    • Grant storage permissions when prompted
    • Select an image and see the magic! ✨

🐍 Python Development Setup

For training custom models or contributing to Python code:

Quick Start

# 1. Install development dependencies (one command!)
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# 2. Install pre-commit hooks (automatic quality checks)
pre-commit install

# 3. Verify everything works
make dev-check
# βœ… Linting: PASSED (ruff - 0 errors)
# βœ… Formatting: PASSED (black)
# βœ… Type Check: PASSED (mypy)
# βœ… Security: PASSED (bandit - 0 issues)
# βœ… Tests: PASSED (25/25 tests)

Development Workflow

# Format code automatically
make format

# Run fast tests during development
make test-fast              # Parallel tests, skip slow tests

# Run comprehensive tests
make test-cov               # With coverage report (HTML + terminal)

# Run parallel tests (3.97x faster!)
make test-parallel          # Uses all CPU cores

# Export a pretrained model
make quick-export           # Exports MobileNetV2 to Android assets

# Run security audit
make security               # Bandit security scanner

# Run all quality checks (before pushing)
make dev-check              # Lint + Format + Type + Security + Tests
