If I try to do a api.CommitCommand.call() on the main thread, JGit appears to do a network call to get the hostname, so it can figure out the default email address. Android is a stickler about doing network operations on the UI thread, so it throws a hissy fit (aka NetworkOnMainThreadException) and crashes the app. JGit persists in doing this even after I set the committer and author before calling the command.
So, is it possible to prevent JGit from doing network access while committing? I know I can do the commit in a background task and avoid the issue (and maybe should do that anyway) but right now I'm not sure that's the right solution. It seems silly to have to do a background task just to commit.
My current code. This is in a button handler in the main activity, basically just for playing around:
// create git repository
// the `repo` variable is a related concept specific to my app
// there are already some files in the mentioned RepositoryRoot
FileRepositoryBuilder builder = new FileRepositoryBuilder();
org.eclipse.jgit.lib.Repository gitrepository = builder.setGitDir(new File(repo.getConfig().getRepositoryRoot(), ".git"))
.readEnvironment() // scan environment GIT_* variables
.findGitDir() // scan up the file system tree
.build();
gitrepository.create(false);
// add files and make a commit
Git git = new Git(gitrepository);
AddCommand adder = git.add();
adder.addFilepattern("*");
try {
adder.call();
} catch (NoFilepatternException e) {
// this can literally never happen
} catch (GitAPIException e) {
DialogUtils.QuickToast(this, "failed to add files? the heck?");
}
CommitCommand comm = git.commit();
try {
comm.setMessage("Initial commit for LynxNotes repository")
.setAuthor("LynxNotes", "lynxnotes@example.com?")
.setCommitter("LynxNotes", "lynxnotes@example.com?").call();
} catch (GitAPIException e1) {
DialogUtils.QuickToast(this, "failed to commit");
}
