[horde] Android Horde RPC client. Was: Re: (no subject)

[Jon Spriggs]

Hi Ralf,

I'll certainly be following the project with some interest, but I'm not sure
my coding skills are up to the task - especially not in Java. That said, I'd
be happy to give it a try, if you're comfortable with a relative java novice
getting involved?

If you're comfortable with how the android platform lines up, it might be
worth making a library for interacting with the horde rpc system, and then
exposing that as a series of intents, so you could (for example) specify
horde://host.name/rootpath to get the RPC calls working against that root,
meaning you could auto-configure your application by using a QR-Code,
without making your users have to enter a (potentially) long URL into a
device with a small or on-screen keyboard.

A good example of this is the sendtocomputer application.

All the best,

Hi Jon, I thought a while about doing a simple android client for the mnemo
app next january to expand upon that experience later on.
Are you interested in joining?
