# Diaspora for Android

|
|
**Notice:** This is the repo of the latest version of the unoffical Diaspora Android App.

### License
|
|
It's released under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see [LICENCE](https://github.com/Diaspora-for-Android/diaspora-android/blob/master/LICENSE.md)).
|
|
|
|
### Native
|
|
It's "native" because it's developed in Java + the Android SDK (Android Studio). Other Diaspora clients are developed using frameworks like AppCelerator Titanium. A native app will always be more efficient and almost certainly be faster and make better use of the resources of the device.
|
|
|
|
### "WebApp"
|
|
It's a WebApp because at this moment Diaspora doesn't have an API that can be used to create a native interface to retrieve the user's data, publications, direct messages and so on, that's why there are only WebApps for Diaspora out there.
|
|
Why a WebApp is better than using the mobile site on a browser? Basically it provides better integration with the system (events coming into and going out of the app), notifications, customized interface and functions and a nice little icon that takes you directly to your favorite social network :)
|
|
|
|
### Device Requirements
|
|
The minimum version supported is Ice Cream Sandwitch, Android version 4.0.3 (or API 15)
|
|
|
|
### App Permissions
|
|
It requires access to the Internet and to external storage to be able to upload photos when creating a new post and for taking screenshots.
