[O] MobileOrg Android

[Nathan Neff]

I just joined the 21st century and got a smart phone.

I downloaded the MobileOrg for Android application, and have some questions,
most of them are probably dumb, because I have only played with the
phone for a bit.

1) Is there documentation regarding the various setups/syncing modes?
I would like to know how to get data off my phone, put .org files on my phone.
I know how to use Dropsend, etc, but I would probably rather just use
rsync or git to
sync the phone's data.

2) The menu for MobileOrg Android has an "Outline" button, but it
doesn't do anything.

3) In "Configure Synchronization Settings" there's a setting where you
specify where index.org
is.  What do I put in there?  Is this setting affected by the other
Synchronization settings?

4) What does "Sync" actually mean?  Is it like rsync where it copies
the latest file, or does it attempt
a merge?  What happens if you have new stuff in each file?  Does
DropSend asking you which one you want, or
provide a diff tool?


As you can see, I'm very new to Android and have no idea what I'm doing :-)

I do plan (within the next few months) to start learning how to
develop on Android platform,
and I think that Mobile Org Android would be a good "Scratch your own
itch" program to start with.

I'd be more than willing to start a FAQ on the Github Wiki with any
answers that I get from this post.

Thanks,
--Nate

Read (info "(org)MobileOrg").  First, I also thought that I simply put
my original org files on the phone and that's it.  Well, not true. ;-)

BTW: I can recommend k-9 mail as a pretty good (and free as in freedom)

Hi Nathan, I'm the maintainer of MobileOrg for Android.   Have you read the
org-mode documentation for MobileOrg?

http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html#MobileOrg

That's a good place to start in figuring out what MobileOrg expects of
org-mode, and also what org-mode expects from MobileOrg.

The synchronization modes refer mostly to where you stage your org-mode
files.   The outline mode will work in the upcoming version of the
application.   You should definitely read the org-mode documentation about
MobileOrg and I think that will give you a pretty good idea of how
synchronization is handled from both sides.

[O] MobileOrg-Android => agendas.org missing

[Alfredo Duplat]

Hi there:

I tried to follow carefully all the documentation but I have a problem
using MobileOrg-Android (ver 0.5.2). When I run org-mobile-push the
agendas.org's file is missing in /Dropbox/MobileOrg. Therefore, when I
sync my phone the Agenda View is empty.  What could be the problem?

Everything works just fine with my gtd.org's file and also the inbox.org.

Thanks,

A.

version in the android market is 0.5.5

You all are right:

I upgrade org-mode via M-x list-packages. Also I upgrade MobileOrg.

Right now, I have another problem: when I run (org-mobile-push) I got
the following messages:

Creating agendas...

Finally is working.

I spiked one step in the process. I never reload org after update...
and that was the problem.
Thanks for your help

[O] mobileorg android refuses to syn with mydisk.se

[Robert Goldman]

Using mydisk.se, when I try to sync I get an SSL error --- not trusted
server certificate.

Interestingly, neither FF nor Google Chrome on my laptop have any issue
with this server.  And my iPod Touch's copy of Mobile Org is happy with
mydisk.se, too.

Unfortunately, MobileOrg does not offer any option to inspect the cert
and decide to accept it.

Is anyone else having this problem?  Is it fixable?

thanks,

[O] MobileOrg Android 0.8.0 Released, many new features!

[Matthew Jones]

MobileOrg for Android has gone through a lot of changes recently. We've
added a lot of great features that users have been asking for and fixed
some big issues that have been bothering people.

  Intelligent handling, will also warn you if the certificate changes
- Edit tags
- Capture only mode
- Complete UI revamp
- Spanish translation

Re: [O] mobileorg android refuses to syn with mydisk.se

[Matthew Jones]

Hi Robert... I'm the developer for MobileOrg on Android, we have a known
issue with self-signed certificates.   What version of MobileOrg are you
using?  If you visit the site in the Android browser do you get a
certificate notification also?

Yes, I do, but I get the opportunity to continue through the certificate
notification.

this is android 2.2

Re: [O] mobileorg android refuses to syn with mydisk.se

[Matthew Jones]

Unfortunately this is a known critical issue which I have had great
difficulty in solving:

https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/issues/22

The workaround in
the case of mydisk.se, to say nothing of whether this would be acceptable to
you, is to use the non-https version of the mydisk.se webdav system.  This
is actually the first I have heard that mydisk's https has issues with
Android's certificate system.

I suspect there is some final solution to this problem, but I'm still
working on it... I'd recommend adding a note to that bug I just posted above
with the details that you have listed here and when I close it (hopefully
for the 0.6.0 release) you will be notified of it.

Awesome!  I can't wait to try it out.

Any chance it will be available via Amazon?  I'm thinking of my wife's
Kindle Fire here.

Re: [O] MobileOrg Android 0.8.0 Released, many new features!

[Matthew Jones]

Hey Carson... I've never thought of putting it on the amazon store.  I'll
check on that in the meantime if you want to use it and the Fire can
install apks directly you can download the latest release here:

I can confirm that the Kindle Fire *can* install APKs directly.  I'm
just at a point in my married life where I'm trying to synchronize my
wife's and my TODO list (at least partially), so if she---not always the
most technically-oriented---can install it directly from Amazon (and
thus---hopefully!---get eventual updates) that's all to the good.

I was wondering Carsten if you actively use the iPhone version? I posted
some issues here but go no feedback - I cant get it working following a
config error in my set up - after correcting it and then syncing the
phone it falls over as described in my earlier post.

Re: [O] MobileOrg Android 0.8.0 Released, many new features!

[Matthew Jones]

Richard the iphone version of MobileOrg is maintained by Richard
Moreland.  Look at his MobileOrg IOS support page here:

http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/support/

It's best to contact him via email, I don't think he follows this list much.

Re: [O] MobileOrg Android 0.5.4 Release - Now with Tablet support

[Sven Bretfeld]

Hi Matthew

Thank you very much for the new version. I'm just testing the new
functions. MobileOrg will be really really good after all the new
features will be working. Nice work.

There are some issues I have detected so far (HTC Desire HD, Android
2.2.1, Dropbox-sync, completely cleaned [deleted] files before
installing):

*Changed Todo States will Not Change on the Phone*

* NEXT Some Task :HOME:

changed on the PC to

* DEFERRED Some Task :HOME:

After syncing, the phone still shows

* NEXT Some Task :HOME:

On the other hand, changing Todo states on the phone works and changes
the todo state on the PC accordingly after syncing.

*TAGs don't seem to work*

Adding a new task with the Advanced Capture feature doesn't recognize
tags for me. A tag :HOME: is neither shown in the "New Notes" view on
the phone, nor on the PC after syncing.

*Changed body edits are lost on syncing*

* NEXT Call Somebody :PHONE:

changed on the phone to

* NEXT Call Somebody :PHONE:
  Phone number is 0154 13233

After syncing, org-pull doesn't announce a new edit. The addition is
lost on both, the phone and it never arrived on the PC.

After I have written the above I made some more tests and it becomes
clear now that there is a serious syncing bug. In general, syncing
doesn't recognize changes made on the PC. Even adding a new task (or a
new test in the body, or a todo change) on the PC is not recognized by
the phone after pushing and syncing.

I'm sure it will be a small problem due to the changes made necessary by
the new features. I'm not sure if this is a problem caused by my setup.
Can anybody confirm these problems?

Greetings and thank you very much again,

Sven

This is extremely bad, I had tried to thoroughly test all 3 sync
mechanisms I'm going to try to test this later but would you happen to
be able to capture the Logcat output?

For the sake of completion, and so that MobileOrg doesn't get too bad
a rap, discussion of the MobileOrg/Android config issue continued on
the MobileOrg/Android mailing list.

One main point:

Any versions of MobileOrg (for android) with the new interface (I
think 0.9.5+, but I don't remember the exact version number) depend on
some new code in org-mode itself to handle pulling. Marcin was using
an older org version, which doesn't include the new stuff. This is
almost certainly the cause of the pull failures reported here.

I think it's only within the last 4-6 weeks that some org-mobile-pull
bugs were fixed in org, so in general, the newer the org version, the
better. For myself, with those bug fixes, pulling from mobile is "just
working."

I'll leave off any discussion of the interface issues, except to note
that the MobileOrg/Android developers are more than willing to listen
to user experiences. (I'm not one of those developers, just a
generally satisfied user.)

Thanks for resending it here, James - I certainly do not want to give
the impression that MobileOrg is a crap - as you write below, most
probably (as I expected) the problem lies at my side.

To confirm this, I have to admit (sadly) that despite the fact that I
acted like a complete jerk with my frustration-filled email, I got a
lengthy and detailed response from one of these devs there.  (And now
I'm working to rebuild my reputation there to level 0...)
