+=================
+Java Coding style
+=================
+
+- We use the `Java Coding
+ Style <https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconvtoc-136057.html>`__.
+ Quick summary:
+
+ - FirstLetterUpperCase for class names.
+ - camelCase for method and variable names.
+ - One declaration per line:
+
+ .. code-block:: java
+
+ int x, y; // this is BAD!
+ int a; // split it over
+ int b; // two lines
+
+- Braces should be placed like so (generally, opening braces on same
+ line, closing braces on a new line):
+
+ .. code-block:: java
+
+ public void func(int arg) {
+ if (arg != 0) {
+ while (arg > 0) {
+ arg--;
+ }
+ } else {
+ arg++;
+ }
+ }
+
+- Places we differ from the Java coding style:
+
+ - Start class variable names with 'm' prefix (e.g.
+ mSomeClassVariable) and static variables with 's' prefix (e.g.
+ sSomeStaticVariable)
+ - ``import`` statements:
+
+ - Do not use wildcard imports like \`import java.util.*;\`
+ - Organize imports by blocks separated by empty line:
+ org.mozilla.*, android.*, com.*, net.*, org.*, then java.\*
+ This is basically what Android Studio does by default, except
+ that we place org.mozilla.\* at the front - please adjust
+ Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java -> Imports
+ accordingly.
+ - Within each import block, alphabetize import names with
+ uppercase before lowercase. For example, ``com.example.Foo`` is
+ before ``com.example.bar``
+
+ - 4-space indents.
+ - Spaces, not tabs.
+ - Don't restrict yourself to 80-character lines. Google's Android
+ style guide suggests 100-character lines, which is also the
+ default setting in Android Studio. Java code tends to be long
+ horizontally, so use appropriate judgement when wrapping. Avoid
+ deep indents on wrapping. Note that aligning the wrapped part of a
+ line, with some previous part of the line (rather than just using
+ a fixed indent), may require shifting the code every time the line
+ changes, resulting in spurious whitespace changes.
+
+- For additional specifics on Firefox for Android, see the `Coding
+ Style guide for Firefox on
+ Android <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#Coding_Style>`__.
+- The `Android Coding
+ Style <https://source.android.com/source/code-style.html>`__ has some
+ useful guidelines too.
