You can download the latest version from the GitHub Releases page. This app is not available on the Google Play Store. You will download an .apk file that can be installed directly on your Android device.
If you'd like to build the app yourself:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Appliberated/ColorTimePass-Android.git -
Open the project in Android Studio.
-
Let Gradle sync the project.
-
Click
Run 'app'.
The project is configured to work with a minimum API level of 14 (Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich).
This project is intentionally kept simple as a learning example. It is written in Java and uses the classic, plain Android SDK (android.app.Activity, android.widget.TextView, etc.) without any modern androidx libraries or Jetpack Compose. In fact, the dependencies section in the build file is empty.
This direct-to-the-SDK approach is the main reason the final .apk is only 93 KB. While this is not the recommended architecture for complex, modern applications, it serves as a clear example of a minimal, dependency-free Android app. The original code was written in 2016 and has been maintained to run on the latest Android versions while preserving this original, lightweight approach.
Thank you for contributing! Color Time Pass is designed to be as simple as possible, but you can still help with:
- testing and reporting bugs
- creating a nice Android app icon to replace the current one
Color Time Pass is a free app, and I enjoy creating and sharing learning projects like this, along with other useful free apps. If you'd like to support my work, consider checking out the following Pro applications:
