Dec 8, 2009
For the past two weeks, I am working to create an application ,which is used to communicate with all Messengers in android. I am using Smack api for that, and now I can able to connect to the GTalk.Now trying to connect it to the Yahoo messenger. But it is throwing some exception. I want to know whether we can create Yahoo IM client using smack api or not. If possible please give the list os IM clients supported by Smack api.

I am working on a XMPP client on Android, using the Smack library. The roster/messaging/presence stuff is running very well. However, I didn't find a way to store additional profile information (userpicture, the dogs name, ...). The only way I see from googling is using VCards. But it simply did not work. I tried the following:.................

connect / login are executed in the same thread of the caller, then are blocking - The packetlistener callbacks are called from smack receiver thread - The sendpacket enqueues the message to a queue. when I receive a message, I need to propagate it. I can use an handler, but it only gets the runnable object. How can I pass the data to the runnable called by the handler? I can't use a local variabile, because if I receive a lot of messages it will be overridden and I will loose some of them. Is it ok to use a queue to feed the runnable? Are there other techniques?

I am using WCF to write a server that should be able to communicate with .Net clients, Android clients and possibly other types of clients. The main type of client is a desktop application that will be written in .Net. This client will usually be on the same intranet as the server. It will make an initial call to the server to get the current state of the system and will then receive updates from the server whenever a value changes. These updates are frequent, perhaps once a second. The Android clients will connect over the Internet. This client is also interested in updates, but it is not as critical as for the desktop client so a (less frequent) polling scenario might be acceptable.
All clients will have to login to use the services, and when connecting over the Internet the connection should be secure. I am familiar with WCF but I am not sure what bindings are most appropriate for the scenario and what security solution to use. Also, I have not used Android, but I would like to make it as simple as possible for the person implementing the Android client to consume my services. So, what is my strategy?

I'm using the EMail Client "Eudora" on my computer to retrieve messages on a POP3 Server. I don't understand if there is a way to retrieve the same messages from the POP3 Server on my mobile phone. The phone is running Android OS 2.1. I manually added all the information into the native E-Mail application on my phone, and it works fine for a couple hours then stops for a few hours, and then it works fine again, but then stops working again for a few hours, and so on and so on.
In addition, I received messages from 8:07AM to 10:39AM, then received no messages between 10:40AM to 1:42PM. At 1:42PM I started receiving messages again; the weird thing is I only received messages after 1:42PM, I can't retrieve the messages from the gap between 10:40AM and 1:42PM. And yes I'm sure I received messages during that time. I can't figure out any correlation between what I'm doing with the phone, and when the phone receives emails.So, my question - Is there a way to view messages from a POP3 server on my Android OS 2.1 phone using any E-Mail client?

Let's get real here. There are tons of threads that cover email on the droid. But Seriously, What are some good apps that support OWA <-- Emoze is the only one I can find so far, however it is not supported on droid at this time. This should be a very basic piece of software.
- connect to a https:// site - you may need to install a security certificate?
- logon with username and password
- send / receive mail

I've created a java server and an android client (A), the client(A) gets it's GPS coordinates and sends them to the server, I need the server to send them to client(B). I'm not entirely sure as to what to do, whether I should have separate ports etc or what.
Below is my two clients and server
SERVER
[HIGH]import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.util.Scanner;
[code].....
With this, I run the server, then run CLIENT B in the emulator and CLIENT A on the device, once I run CLIENT A, CLIENT B force shuts.
CLIENT A / SERVER connectivity is 100%, it prints to console (for testing). What I need to try to find out is how do I send the data to CLIENT B, I have used different ports and i'm sure that's why CLIENT B force shuts.

I am using vpnc on my computer to connect on my university VPN. Once again, the configuration is not straightforward, but, mainly, I use IPSec, I have an ID for the VPN, a gateway URL, a secret word, IKE Authmode of PSK, IKE DH Group, Xauth username, Xauth password, I need to enable Single DES, and I have two 'target networks'.
The fact is that Android (2.1)'s built-in VPN does not ask me all these info. It keeps asking for a pre-shared key (this is evidently the contrary of the certificate method), but I do not have such a pre-shared key. Connecting (to the VPN) through my computer works perfectly. What can I do to make Android compatible with the VPN?

Was just curious if there were any multi IM clients (meaning, ones that have AOL, Yahoo, Facebook, MSN etc all in one) that had push notifications? The one thing I miss on my Blackberry was the IM+ program. I could set it so that I could receive IM's via email (which come's in handy when working in a hospital and the signal goes out at times).
So whenever someone messaged me, I would get it in my email when I had a signal and respond back via email. Is there anything like this out there for me on my HTC Hero Firmware 1.5? I currently use the free eBUDDY program and have slightly tried out the free IM+ and Palringo. But I am not having any luck with finding one that has the push notification.

I find that the basic Androd (On SE Xperia X10) features reliable But basic and I'm very frustrated that I do not seem to be able to copy/paste out from received emails And it would be nicer if the same application handled Gmail too.
So are there any work-arounds or alternative email clients with more features available?
I have asked a similar question in the Droid app developers requests forum but have no responses yet.

With Google Talk I'm automatically logged in with my main gmail account. Is there a way to add other gmail accounts to this? Or swap to a different account when I need to? How about non-gmail accounts? Can I add an AIM account, for example? Is there an app that can manage multiple chat accounts? I use Adium on my Mac to have 3 or 4 different chat accounts open (useful for work, people who don't have gmail etc.) and I'd love to do the same thing with my Droid.

I'm not looking for a program that communicates with my computer or seedbox, I have Torrent-Fu already for that. I'm wondering if there are any decent torrent clients for Android so I can just download a torrent right over my 3G connection. Searching torrent in the Market only gets one client that costs $5 and apparently is missing key features. Are there maybe some good .apk packaged torrent clients out there not in the Market? I'd assume that Vuze (as mediocre as it is), being written in Java, could be ported fairly easily as well.

I need to explore the world "You wrote a killer application, but do you have an Android/iPhone/iPad client?".
My questions are:
1) which is the best way to send data to those devices? Soap and Rest as suggested here? Or are there some specific techniques? (My app is written in Delphi and I can expose data with webservices if needed)
2) For x-platform (where by x I mean basically apple products and android) development is there a tool? Or the only solution is write one client per platform that "embeds" a web application optimized for mobile devices?
3) which are the techniques for caching locally some data / working offline? Is it different in the 2 worlds or is it common?

I just purchased a Samsung Intercept through Virgin Mobile and am hoping I can find a simple application to store my clients information using it.
I am a Hair Colorist and I have been using a Sony Clie in the past to keep my client info up-to-date, but it finally died. I am hoping my new phone can keep track for me now.
Here is what I need the app to do.
1) Clients Name (so I can easily search for client)
2) Phone Number (so I can call them)
3) Address (not mandatory, but would probably be good)
4) Client's Hair Color Formula (text area where I can write down their color formula)
5) Date of last appointment (and maybe their upcoming appointment)
Does anyone know if there is something out there like this already? It seems like it should be a basic app, but I am BRAND NEW at this, so I have no idea .

Here's my issue: Came from a windows mobile phone. However, one area winmo is obviously good at is exchange support. Here's what I mean:
I regularly receive and forward large attachments (PDFS - usually 10 megs or so), and the winmo phone made it easy to do so when out of the office. I'd just hit forward and away it would go. The phone would tell the exchange server to forward the mail, and it was done. The phone never actually downloaded any attachments to forward, unless of course I wanted to download it for viewing.
I've found this phone instead of just telling the exchange server to forward the message actually has to download the attachment, then resend the attachment. This is stupidity in it's fullest when working with a 10 meg attachment. Instead of taking a split second to forward something it'll take minutes to download, then minutes to upload, and obviously shorten battery life considerably. So my question is - am I missing settings, or is the installed mail application not able to do so - and are there any android mail applications that will forward attachments off an exchange server without actually downloading the attachment first?

This is not specifically related to the Gtalk app, but it is while using the Gtalk app that it occurs. As you may or may not know, UK users of Googlemail have recently been able to switch to a Gmail account. I did this and it caused problems with signing into Gtalk (even though there were no problems signing into Gmail via the Gmail app). I've since followed some advice found elsewhere to go into Gmail, then Settings, then Accounts and Import and to change my address back to @googlemail.com. Doing this has allowed me to sign in to the Gtalk app, and I can see my friends on the friends list but I can't send messages. I always get the message "This message couldn't be sent". Any ideas how to fix this one error in the Gtalk app?

Objective: The ability to have multiple (two) Google talk accounts run simultaneously. Currently I've set up my phone with my Gmail (@gmail.com) account. The Gtalk application has been configured with this account by default (I think) which is great. However I would like to be able to be signed into my work chat as well, which is a Google apps premier account. I have not found a way to accomplish this without having to download another app. The apps that I've tried so far are: Ebuddy and Meebo. Ebuddy works awesome with my Google Apps account except for the fact that it sends messages after I chat indicating that I am using Ebuddy. The spam message includes a link to a webpage. I can't figure out how to turn this off, so I've stopped using it. I'm willing to pay for a version that doesn't do this, but I don't think there is a pay for version of Ebuddy for Android. And Meebo doesn't work with my Google Apps account. Can anyone point me in right direction? Maybe a recommendation?

Email Services I use - Google Apps and FastMail.FM. I use Google Apps for Email Standard (Free) Edition. Google Apps Standard Edition helps groups build communities - Google Apps Standard Edition:
* Google Mail with my own domain
* Google Talk with my own domain
Google Apps account also includes:
* Calendar
* Docs
* Contacts
The Primary Google Account has necessary features not offered in Google Apps:
* Google Voice
* Google Reader
* Blogger
* Notebook
* Finance
Unfortunately, Google does not allow the above properties to be including in Google Apps accounts at this time. Therefore, I'm continuously logged into two Google Accounts:
1) Google Apps
2) Google Account
When on the web, Android, etc., I can be logged into both the Google Account and Google Apps simultaneously - two separate gateways that do not interfere with one another. This is also nice because I use Google Voice to place calls as well as sending SMS messages.
Fastmail Account:
I also use Fastmail.FM. Here's a recent article about Fastmail with an interview with Jeremy Howard, one of the Fastmail founders. Here are a few of the reasons why I use Fastmail (enhanced account)
* Virtual Domain Management - MX Mail Servers
* Aliases - Subdomain alias features
* Compose with Personalities Management (alternate sending From: Headers)
* File Storage / Websites
* Advanced Sieve Filtering
* Alternate Logins - One Time Passwords (OTP)
Using these Services on Android
In Google Apps Mail/Gmail (on the web) I have a drop-down menu in the From: header to send from alternate email addresses. When using the Gmail App on Android or through the browser, there is no drop-down menu or option to send from an alternate email address. I've been having the same issue on the iPod Touch (or iPhone) through the Safari browser as there is also no drop-down menu or option to send from an alternate email address. Using the mobile-based Fastmail.fm, I find that this works very well on the Android browser. Fastmail.fm is the only web-mobile email service I've found that allows one to take use the drop-down menu at the From: header to select an alternate email address.
I find it odd that Gmail has a similar From: header drop-down menu on the standard web, but not on mobile devices. Hence, when I need to choose a specific header to send from and I'm on my Android device, I use Fastmail via the mobile browser. The only downside of Fastmail via the mobile browser is there is no autofill like on the Gmail App and Gmail mobile site. I have to "add from the address book" which involves extra steps. However, I have put in a request for this on the Fastmail forum.
Mobile Email Client - IMAP
Of course, all of these services (Gmail, Google Apps, Fastmail) offer IMAP and we can use the mobile email client as a viable alternative. It should be noted, however, that the email clients do not offer the option modify the default From: sending address. I really wish that Android would offer a way to include the standard From: drop-down menu within the Gmail App and on the Gmail mobile web browser.
I have placed a request here in the "Application Requests" forum:
Gmail App, or Mail App, that offers a From: drop-down menu.
