TIME SPENT: 30 hrs
mon 3 tue 5 wed 1 thu 8 fri 8 sat 0 sun 5

HIGHLIGHTS:

CONCERNS: I'm wondering if there's a way to persist Ubuntu One client state, as rotating the device to landscape (thus the Activity is re-created) causes unnecessary re-connect.

WAITING ITEMS: Look into aquarius' bug report with verterok, not sure what caused protocol buffers error. Apart from the emulator (running 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2), the app has been successfully tested on devices running Android 1.5 and Android 2.1 .

Subject: AndroidU1 - June 20, 2010

TIME SPENT: 40 hrs
mon 11 tue 10 wed 1 thu 8 fri 2 sat 4 sun 4

HIGHLIGHTS:

I am not sure if those should be listed in this section.

Here I would like to thank Guillermo Gonzalez (verterok), the author of [amongst others] ubuntuone-storage-protocol Java port, who after hours dedicates much time helping me with protocol related issues and giving me suggestions and pointers for further work. Thank you so much!

CONCERNS: I'm way off schedule [2 weeks = 2 milestones] due to two Android bugs that, out of no other options, have made us focus on the storage protocol client implementation and not the AndroidU1 application itself. Moreover, we have just approached my exam session declared beforehand in my proposal.
But fear not, my dedication knows no limits. I will make up the time spent on working out those problems.

WAITING ITEMS: implementation of OIOClient with help from verterok (he has a working version, but it needs few more pieces). I have failed to implement a mock client for temporary use, as I always ended up with inheritance or other dependency problems, which needed refactoring of majority of the protocol's code. Therefore I have moved to things I can do until that time.

STALLED TASKS: file browsing, file up/download

HIGHLIGHTS:

CONCERNS: I'm few days off schedule (planned to finish browsing folder hierarchy by now, but I hope a talk* with verterok will give me another boost). I'm doing my best, and I may throw in few days from my exam period.

WAITING ITEMS: client.oauthAuthenticate doesn't seem to authenticate on Android or doesn't cause a callback to indicate it has finished - see: *

STALLED TASKS: file browsing - I'm worried about Deferring Requests, see: *

Second screenshot is not a static layout, but an optional label, when there's no data for the ListAdapter. Excuse the number of entries on the third screenshot - it's from the simulator, so I had to enter that into Contacts with my mouse.

PS God I love the ease of editing this wiki! Smile :)

Subject: AndroidU1 - May 30, 2010

TIME SPENT: approx 36 hrs
~ [sun 6] mon 5 tue 5 wed 4 thu 1 fri 6 sat 4 sun 5

HIGHLIGHTS: I have enjoyed talking to people on matters related to the project, like storage protocol, launchpad or oauth. ubuntuone-java-storageprotocol by Guillermo (verterok) is Java implementation of ubuntuone-storageprotocol, which I will be using to access/upload files to U1 cloud. After an interesting and long talk with Guillermo (thank you!), I added some basic functionality to the ExampleClient, making possible to list (ls) and go into the folders (cd). I was very excited to traverse into U1 hosted folders from the command line. You couldn't do cd .. Wink ;) , but that task wasn't the first in the queue anyway. I had to challenge myself with OAuth. It was definitely a new standard for me to learn. The way it works is really cool, and though there's a dead-simple to use oauth-signpost library, I had major issues with the server response and the log-in never worked at the first attempt. With help of Matt (gauntface), we found out it was an Android issue poking around HTTP request headers (I won't jump into details here). Solution was to swap the Consumer/Provider classes to CommonsHTTP* versions - now getting the access/secret token pair is a blast Smile :) I have also enjoyed setting up the project on Launchpad, which wasn't that simple I must say. I plan to query my mentor if I got those series/branches right. lp:androidu1/0.x is the devel branch (note that I'll commit the fixed oauth tomorrow [Monday])

And I must say - I am delighted with the reaction of the community! I have hardly started, and after I have asked for feedback here and there, I started getting blog comments, e-mail replies, shout-outs on IRC, even one wiki edit.

And just between you and me Wink ;) .. together with my mentor, we've got our heads full of even more ideas! But we'll leave that for discussion after completing GSoC... Wink ;)

CONCERNS:

WAITING ITEMS: I hope verterok gets back soon and we'll be able to sort out that storageprotocol errors. That doesn't hold me back much, though. (yet)
