This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Build / Test / Run

# Assemble all variants
./gradlew assembleAppRelease

# Assemble without R8 (for crash debugging — no minification/shrinking)
./gradlew assembleAppNoR8

# Debug build
./gradlew assembleAppDebug

# Run unit tests (JVM, local)
./gradlew test

# Run a single test class
./gradlew test --tests "io.legado.app.model.cache.CacheDownloadQueueTest"

# Run connected Android tests
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest

# Lint
./gradlew lint

# Update Cronet (after changing CronetVersion in gradle.properties)
./gradlew app:downloadCronet

The project uses JDK 21 for development (set in build.gradle.kts via jvmToolchain). CI uses JDK 17 for building.

Gradle properties: 8 GB heap, configuration cache disabled (gradle.properties:31), non-transitive R classes, precise resource shrinking enabled.

Architecture

This is a Material Design 3 fork of Legado. app/src/main/java/io/legado/app/ uses Clean Architecture with three layers:

Layer	Package	Role
Data	data/	Room DB (AppDatabase, version 85, ~22 DAOs, ~25 entities), repository implementations
Domain	domain/	Gateway interfaces, use cases (14), domain models — no framework dependencies
UI	ui/	Jetpack Compose screens, Navigation 3 routes, ViewModels

Additional top-level packages:

• help/ — Infrastructure "glue": HTTP (OkHttp + Cronet), book content processing, backup/WebDAV, JS engine, config
• model/ — Runtime state coordinators (not entities): ReadBook, AudioPlay, CacheBook, BookCover, etc.
• service/ — Android foreground/background services (audio playback, TTS, download, web server)
• web/ — Embedded HTTP server (NanoHTTPD) for remote bookshelf/source editing
• lib/ — Third-party library wrappers (MOBI parser, WebDAV client, legacy View theme system, cronet)
• base/ — Abstract Activity/Fragment/ViewModel base classes
• utils/ — Extension functions and utility classes (~70 files)

Modules: :app, :modules:book (epub/TXT parsing, namespace me.ag2s), :modules:rhino (Rhino JS wrapper, namespace com.script). There is also a Vue 3 web frontend in modules/web/ (pnpm, separate from the Android build).

Dependency Injection (Koin)

Two modules loaded in App.onCreate():

startKoin {
    modules(appDatabaseModule, appModule)
}

• di/appDatabaseModule.kt — Singleton AppDatabase + factory bindings for all 22 DAOs
• di/appModule.kt — Singletons (repositories, use cases, gateways, Coil ImageLoader), viewModelOf / viewModel { } for all ViewModels, some parameterized definitions

Gateways are bound to their repository implementations explicitly (e.g., single<LocalBookGateway> { LocalBookRepository(get()) }), not through singleOf.

Navigation

Uses Jetpack Navigation 3 (androidx.navigation3) with type-safe @Serializable sealed interfaces for route keys:

@Serializable
private sealed interface MainRoute : NavKey
@Serializable
private data object MainRouteHome : MainRoute
@Serializable
private data class MainRouteCache(val groupId: Long) : MainRoute

MainActivity holds a single NavDisplay with entryProvider { ... } defining all composable entries. Launcher0 through LauncherW extend MainActivity to provide multiple launcher icon alias entries. Separate activities handle the reader (ReadBookActivity — still View-based), book info, source management, replace rules, file manager, QR scanner, etc.

Theme System

A multi-engine theming system in ui/theme/:

1. Material 3 Expressive (default): Uses MaterialExpressiveTheme with MotionScheme.expressive()
2. Miuix (alternative): Uses top.yukonga.miuix.kmp theming engine

14 theme modes (AppThemeMode enum) — Dynamic (Monet), 12 named presets, Custom (MaterialKolor seed-color generation), Transparent. CustomColorScheme wraps com.materialkolor with configurable PaletteStyle (TonalSpot, Neutral, Vibrant, Expressive, Rainbow, etc.) and ColorSpec (2021 vs 2025).

Legacy View-based theme still exists in lib/theme/ (used by non-migrated screens like ReadBookActivity).

Hybrid Compose + View

The app is mid-migration from Views to Compose. View-based screens (reader, book info, source management) coexist with Compose screens (main tabs, settings, search, RSS, cache management). XML layouts, viewBinding, and traditional Activities are still heavily used. The viewBinding build feature is enabled but Compose screens are the target.

Rhino JavaScript Engine

Book sources, RSS sources, and HTTP TTS use JavaScript rules. initRhino() in App.kt registers NativeBaseSource wrappers for BookSource, RssSource, HttpTTS (writable JS objects) and ReadOnlyJavaObject wrappers for rule entities. Rule parsing logic lives in help/source/ and model/analyzeRule/.

Important Constraints

• Do not update jsoup beyond 1.16.2 — a breaking change in newer versions (see jsoup#2017) affects AnalyzeByJSoup.kt and the JsoupXpath library
• Do not update hutool beyond 5.8.22 — pinned in libs.versions.toml:42
• Package name discrepancy: code namespace is io.legado.app but applicationId is io.legato.kazusa
• Min SDK 26, target SDK 37, compile SDK 37
• Release builds enable R8 minification + resource shrinking; noR8 variant disables both for crash debugging
• APK is split by ABI (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, plus universal)
• Firebase Analytics and Performance are included; google-services plugin applied

Web Frontend

Located in modules/web/ — a Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite project for remote bookshelf and source editing. Must connect to the app's built-in HTTP server (started via WebService in the main activity settings). Commands:

cd modules/web
pnpm install
pnpm dev       # dev server
pnpm build     # production build

Set VITE_API in .env.development to the app's web service IP.
