Hi everyone, The latest updates: - Minor fixes to discovery, to prevent deadlocks.- Discovery now working on windows: was previously non-functional, due to including Winsock headers but linking against winsock2. (The LO pairing dialog is however still blank under windows.) - Fixed a minor bug affecting the formatting of network servers in the discovery screen. - Migrated the rest of the activities and fragments to ABS -- hopefully this means the App will work under Android 2.3+ (possibly earlier versions too). I'll be testing that tomorrow once I've added emulator detection to the selection screen (I no longer have any devices with Android < 4, meaning I can only test this on the emulator, which I can't do since I currently can't connect from emulator to localhost*). - Bluetooth discovery and pairing functional (pairing for bluetooth is dealt with by the OS), communication not yet possible (I'm still figuring out how serial communication can be properly set up / how to use service records etc.)
* I mean to add emulator detection and manual IP entry tomorrow to allow testing using an emulator again.
A first apk for testing, which is only known to work with Android >= 4.0.3 (might work on Android 2.3+, with some theming issues), can be found under http://ahunt.org/libreoffice/remote/sdremote-20082012-alpha01.apk . (At the moment I'm hosting these on my webspace -- would it be appropriate to place them on the LO site anywhere?). The server side is currently only known to work on Linux -- on Windows the pairing dialog is non-functional, and Mac hasn't been tested. Both smartphone and computer have to be on the same network, with ports 1598 (udp) and 1599 (tcp) open. Please be gentle with the "coverflow" switching widget, as it can cause an endless loop of slides switching back and forward if slides are changed too violently. Comments and feedback greatly appreciated, but please be aware that some parts are still unpolished and brittle. (I'll set up a wiki page to keep track of issues experienced tomorrow.)
Cheers, Andrej
