How to use

Just create a new Activity that extends IssueReporterActivity:

public class ExampleReporterActivity extends IssueReporterActivity {
    // Where should the issues go?
    // (http://github.com/username/repository)
    @Override
    public GithubTarget getTarget() {
        return new GithubTarget("username", "repository");
    }

    // [Optional] Auth token to open issues if users don't have a GitHub account
    // You can register a bot account on GitHub and copy ist OAuth2 token here. 
    @Override
    public String getGuestToken() {
        return "28f479f73db97d912611b27579aad7a76ad2baf5";
    }

    // [Optional] Include other relevant info in the bug report (like custom variables)
    @Override
    public void onSaveExtraInfo(ExtraInfo extraInfo) {
        extraInfo.put("Test 1", "Example string");
        extraInfo.put("Test 2", true);
    }
}

Your activity must have an Theme.IssueReporter theme declared in AndroidManifest.xml:

<style name="Theme.App.Light" parent="Theme.IssueReporter">
    <item name="colorPrimary">...</item><!-- required -->
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">...</item><!-- required -->
    <item name="colorAccent">...</item><!-- required -->
</style>

You can use Theme.IssueReporter.Light or Theme.IssueReporter.Light.DarkActionBar as replacement if you want a light theme.

How to create a bot key

1. Create a new GitHub account.
   (You have to use a unique email address.)

2. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and create a new token using Generate new token.
   (You only need to give the bot the public_repo permission.)

3. Copy the OAuth access token you get at the end of the setup.

4. Override getGuestToken() in your reporter activity like this:

   @Override
   public String getGuestToken() {
       return "<your token here>";
   }

Limitations

• You can't use two factor authentication.
