How to build Firefox Lite from source?

Hi,

I'm new to Android Studio, and try to build Firefox Lite from source into an apk to make some changes for myself.

I'm trying to follow the Readme instructions on github. Installed Android Studio, checked out the Firefox Lite repository, ran "git submodule init" and "git submodule update", and opened the project in Android Studio. The next step would be "select build variant focusWebkitDebug", but for me the menu item "Select Build Variant" is grayed out, and opening the "Build variants" tab in the left bottom corner doesn't show any options. How could I continue to build Firefox Lite?

Thanks.

Hi

Wow, thank you for your interest in Firefox Lite and for wanting to get involved with the project!

I have just tried the build myself and it does work fine. After you import the repo as a new project, let the build happen automatically or run a build if you have this turned off.

When this is done (it takes a little while) the build variants information will be displayed.
