Nixplay Uploader

Share photos to Nix photo frames. Differs from the official app in that:

• the user can crop and rotate images before uploading them.
• there's a visual indicator when the image doesn't fit the 4:3 aspect ratio of the Nixplay Seed, allowing the user to avoid letterboxing when the image is shown on the frame.
• functionality is limited to sharing. This app does not provide other features (playlist management, updating profiles, adding friends, etc).

Uses uCrop for image rotation and cropping.

Getting Started

It should be possible to fetch and build NixplayUploader directly from Android Studio.

Running Tests

There's only one test class, named OnlineTest. It verifies that our Nix API works by doing a few queries and uploading a test image. You must provide it with two environment variables: NIX_USERNAME (the username of a working Nix account), and NIX_PASSWORD (the password for that account). Defining the variables in the Android Studio config prevents them from showing up on Github.
