This page focuses on negative examples related to contribution. The following reasons may cause your issue to be closed without answer:

  • Not providing information about the library version, Android version and device used
  • Not providing sufficient information allowing to solve the problem -> "it doesn't work" is not sufficient, "I'm not able to" is also not sufficient
  • Questions & issues that can be solved using the example project or the documentation
  • Not providing code examples or some other form of problem description (screenshot, video)
  • Using a language other than English (preferred) or German (if necessary)
  • Excessive creation (spam) of new issues & creation of duplicate issues
  • Opening issues not directly related to this repository / library

Please understand that maintaining a large repository like this requires a lot of time, and issues not properly worded cannot be addressed for that reason.

Below you can find a collection of negative examples regarding contribution & issues. If your created issue is similar in terms of content to one of the issues listed below, do not expect an answer.
