Hello Again,
Wow, I never expected so many responses! This is great!
Because there seem to be a lot of people who are interested in testing
my app, I have just put it up for download at the following URL:
http://uclug.utica.edu/files/dave/server_query_app.zip
Please glance at the README.txt file contained in that zip file for more
information about the app. The app is currently compiled to support
Android 2.1 and 2.2, but I'm working on compiling it for other versions
as well. Right now, the app is just called DParkerTestProject1 because
that's what it's been called all through its development. And with a
name like that, you know for sure that it's beta. :-)
I know that there are already apps available to do server monitoring and
administration, and to be honest, they are probably better than mine. I
was looking for a project to do as an independent study to finish up my
degree, and my advisor suggested I write an Android app (I had been
thinking about it for a while already). I already had a collection of
Perl scripts to query our game servers and parse the information, so I
decided to write a server query app and try to use those as the basis
for it.
Please feel free to send any question, comments, or other feedback my way.
Thanks!
Dave

Hello Everyone,

The app uses A2S_INFO, A2A_PING, and A2S_PLAYER queries to get
information about each server you have added to its list. Right now,
this is just a proof-of-concept version and it does not do anything
fancy, like refreshing the server list in the background or notifying
you if one is down. It also cannot be used to control a server remotely
(RCON, NETCON, etc.) at this time. Those are things that I hope to add
later if I have the time.
If you own an Android device and you are interested in trying my app,
please e-mail me (either on or off list) and I'll get the app to you.
Also, if anyone has any ideas for what it should be called, I'm open to
suggestions. Right now it doesn't have a name. :-)
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dave

Very nice. I think it would be much more useful with RCON support though.
Maybe you could make it run in the background and check periodically (save
battery) and notify if the server goes down?
As an aside, I suppose that means there is interest in something like this:

I have an apk if anybody who is running SourceOP on this list wants to try
it out.
