MobileOrg Android 0.1_alpha

MobileOrg Android 0.1_alpha

Sorry if this double posts, had forgotten which email address I had signed
up for on the mailing list.

Hey folks, I've been working on a version of MobileOrg for the Android
platform with the goal to reach feature parity with the iPhone version
developed by Richard Moreland.

I have completed an early alpha version that can fetch and display the
contents of Org files stored on a webdav server.   There are some good
instructions for setting up a webdav server in the normal MobileOrg
documentation: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/doc/

For getting started from the emacs side of things, the Org-mode
documentation itself contains all the information you need:
http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html

As for the MobileOrg android application itself you can find the release
notes and a download link here:

http://wiki.github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/

There are some known issues with this early alpha version and can't
synchronize back to the webdav server yet or handle setting the state of
tasks but I felt this was a good start and would actually be useful for
Org-mode users

When you first start the application up you'll need to click "Menu" and then
"Settings" and enter your webdav information.  After saving you can click
"Menu" again then "Sync".   Once that has finished it will populate the
display and you can drill into your document structure.

Congratulations Matthew for the good work!


Your work will at the end finally make decide to buy a decent Android phone.
(I almost bought an Iphone only for the possibility of MobileOrg!)

[Android] Force close with MobileOrg Android 0.2_alpha and development snapshot

[Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs]

Hi!

I finally got around to trying out MobileOrg for Android.

After I finally managed to set up webdav and sync my files, MobileOrg
force closed. (development snapshot from today)

Now it force closes every time I try to start it.

I tried the 0.2 alpha release next but it also force closed on
startup.

Looking into my /sdcard/mobileorg files, I noticed that only parts of
my files were there.

In particular, I notice that I have subdirectories 'home' and 'work'
in my Org files, but there are no subdirectories in the
/sdcard/mobileorg directory.

Then I tried deinstalling the application and reinstalling (this time
the 0.2 alpha), put in my setup, pressed sync and get a force close
again.

Unfortunately the logcat contains the full contents of some of my org
files, which I can't post to the list, so I'm posting parts of it
here:

[ log with contents of files]

I/global  (14760): Default buffer size used in BufferedWriter
constructor. It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is
required.

Looks like this might be a bug trying to write your files out to
subdirectories it looks like I'm not trying to create the subdirectories.
If you put your files in just the root directory does that work for you?

I simply deleted the subdirectories from the remote staging area
(along with their mentions in index.org) and then I could sync them
with 0.2 alpha and the snapshot could read them.

Just for some feedback: I think the most useful features for me
would be:
 - handling of directories, obviously :)
 - some kind of agenda view
 - a tag-todo view, based on Location or user choice (I'm at the
 supermarket, let's pull up the shopping list)
 - fast capturing + sync

Kind regards

MobileOrg Android 0.1_alpha

[Matthew Jones]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1313 bytes --]

Hey folks, I've been working on a version of MobileOrg for the Android
platform with the goal to reach feature parity with the iPhone version
developed by Richard Moreland.

I have completed an early alpha version that can fetch and display the
contents of Org files stored on a webdav server.   There are some good
instructions for setting up a webdav server in the normal MobileOrg
documentation: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/doc/

For getting started from the emacs side of things, the Org-mode
documentation itself contains all the information you need:
http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html

As for the MobileOrg android application itself you can find the release
notes and a download link here:

http://wiki.github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/

There are some known issues with this early alpha version and can't
synchronize back to the webdav server yet or handle setting the state of
tasks but I felt this was a good start and would actually be useful for
Org-mode users

When you first start the application up you'll need to click "Menu" and then
"Settings" and enter your webdav information.  After saving you can click
"Menu" again then "Sync".   Once that has finished it will populate the
display and you can drill into your document structure.

Thank you very much! 

The application doesn't seem to work with mydisk.se. 

Is that a known issue or am I doing anything wrong? The server
information is correctly set, but syncing stops immediately with
"Synchronization Failed, try again?" I haven't tried any other webdav
server. I'm using the HTC Magic with Android 1.6.

The files are created with org-mobile-push, the staging era is the
top-folder of my mydisk.se account (no subfolder), which is mounted via
davfs2 on Debian/Etch.

Greetings

Sven

Hi Sven, are you connecting via https?  What is your URI connect string?   I
think it should work fine but I'll set up an account and test it out
tonight... if you have access to debug information via USB Debugging that
would also be helpful.

Oh my god. That's really silly. Just installed USB Debugging. That led
me to the solution: Ähem ... The URL field has to point to the index.org
file, not to the directory. That was a misunderstanding. Now it's
working.

I will try to use MobileOrg and send you feedback.

Thanks again,

I'm also trying to setup a webdav account, using a demo account but
can't get it to sync.

Here is my setup :

URL : 
http://mydisk.se/demo/index.org

Login:
demo

Password:
demo

The index.org file exists and links to a file named mobileorg.org.

I don't get any error messages when I hit Sync but the mobileorg.org
file doesn't appear. What am I doing wrong ?

How is it working for you so far ?

You should know that 'mobileorg.org' is the filename used by MobileOrg when
capturing new notes (see:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Pulling-from-MobileOrg.html#Pulling-from-MobileOrg)
can you name the file something else and see if that works for you?

You were right. I renamed it to essai.org and it's working now.

Also, I noticed a recent fork in your project at github. Are we going to
end up with 2 mobileorg applications for android :-) ?

Anyway, thanks for your help and for provinding android users with this
much needed application.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1745 bytes --]

Hey Julien,

The other branch I've been working on is a replacement Preferences screen
that fits the Android paradigm for getting and saving preferences... we need
a better way to represent the preferences so that it's not too difficult to
add new settings and have them be available to the application.   Once I'm
finished with those changes I will merge them back into my 'master' branch
which is where I cut releases from.   There are also some branches
maintained by other people that are features that I hope to merge in very
soon... don't worry, there will be no fragmentation of this application.
Glad to know changing the file name worked for you... let me know if you
discover any other issues.
