I am dealing with the next problem.
Our work server has a firewall security. You have to go to a https:// website, submit username and password, and then your IP is logged to get an 8 hour connection to the server. It runs an exchange server which I can connect to when I open the firewall (also on the android device)
I have made this easyer by making a simple local html file, which passes a form to my server:
Code:
<form accept-charset="utf-8" method="post" action="https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.html" name="authform">
<input type="hidden" name="url" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name="meth" value="plain"/>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login"/>
<input type="hidden" name="time" value="480"/>
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="username"/>
<input type="hidden" name="pswd" value="password"/>
<body onload="document.authform.submit()">
</form>
Only, running this thing in android is not working: htmlviewer can't run java, the webviewer can't browse local files and htmlviewer using submit button is not loading the wanted page anyway.
Opening server manually by browsing there on android webbrowser works.
I am looking for a program to:
enter variables: uid, pswd, time and the url behind the action=" "
then pass the form to this website
Thanx!
do this without any screen (background), maybe an icon in the taskbar is cool
do this every x hours or (preferably) before I want to sync with server
I am using cyanogen 4.9999
anyone tips, idea's or has this app written in a blizz? A linux-console script / cronjob is cool also.
look at the gears tutorials on the ADP site. I think there's an example there for form submissions.

Oh hey I am really really no developer. I can do stuff with some examples maybe Where would I have to look? I am not familiar with Gears on ADP site.

No developer? Might want to start reading up....
It is actually quite a simple process that you need to manage.
You need to note one thing; the form method is "POST", not "GET", so the form elements go in the message body rather than in the URL. "GET" is quite a lot simpler, you simply alter the URL from "http://www.whatever.com" to "http://www.whatever.com?field1=value1&field2=value2&...&fieldN=valueN"
But since this is post, you're going to have to do something a little more involved;
This might be some help to you: http://www.anddev.org/doing_http_post_with_android-t492.html
I think you'd find that this is actually a really great first project for learning to develop on Android. I'd download the SDK and look at the "hello, web" example in the Android Dev Guide.
Have a look at issue 2454 "Cannot view html on sdcard because no file url". You could also "star" that issue to vote for it.
content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/some/where.html works for me on the Hero (1.5 Cupcake), although I didn't succeed to bookmark that URL.

Hey all!
I love my Vario III,...just wondering if any of you were using Picsel browser?
It's awesome,...the only problem is that it doesn't interpret javascript
Anyone know of a similair browser that supports javascript?
Regards
Where did you obtain the picsel browser from? I always wanted to test the functionality but could never find a download. Looks like an OEM only product.
My Vario III arrives tomorrow
i absolutly love picsel, (other than the lack of java and sketchy flash support) its the easiest browser to use IMO... too bad they never released it comercially... they could make some serious money off it

Give me your email I'll send you the cab file
piscal browser
hi my friend please email cab to
[email protected]
The version that i have installed is not working on my TyTN II
I'm getting the error:
Initialisation failur....in think this is German.
the version i have installed is simply entitled "Picsel Browser.cab" and was found on torrent tracker that canadians can't use.
it isn't very useful to me, but it is a novel idea of a browser.
quite a browser indeed, reminds me of the Safari browser on the iPhone. 320x240 doesn't quite cut it though for browsing, must look better on a VGA device.
Odd that you can't go full screen, or I missed a setting ?
deepfish from Microsoft is alos very nice (very similar to Picsel browser).
http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=O7PEMWI1
got a link ?
Thunderhawk is in the same vein as picsel browser, and works a little better. Basically, it renders the page on their servers, and then sends the page to your device. It is very fast and looks by far the most like pages rendered on a PC.
However, it is quite expensive, requiring a monthly fee to use the software. But there is a free trial to see if you like it.

Along with the cab, you will need the (per person issued (iirc)) beta activation code to make it work. Given that it is using a server to house the data and format it for you ... you would need that code or the server would deny you access.

If you like PHP..
There's also another PPC webserver called PocketHPH which will let you run PHP scripts on the phone: http://mobileleap.net/hph
Pretty neet, free for personal use. I've messed with it before, but haven't reinstalled it since reflashing.. Looking at the site, they've apparently updated it with fopen() support, which kicks ass. Now I can write webapps for my phone which interact with my website (also PHP)

Be nice if this was useful with the cheap data plans from ex-Cingular, but alas, natted.. I kept thinking "It'd be nice to be able to pop a quick connection to my phone and look at some status" but just won't work.
Tried Hamachi?
There's a PPC Hamachi client which is free.. Then you get VPN capabilities, no more NAT, poof.. Access to your mobile from a computer! The only downside is that Hamachi has to be installed on the computer you're accessing from..

I found this: OpenSSH ported to Windows CE!

Hmm, VPN. Yeah, that could work. I wouldn't use whatever solution the above is, most likely, but a general VPN could do the trick as long as it reconnects on its own and such. Thanks for the suggestion!

Not at the moment, if you notice my signature, I took down the hosting a bit ago, it turns out the script I was using had a security hole in it and someone used it to hack my site, nice huh? I haven't had time to put anything new up.
Buuut....from what I was seeing, it didn't look like anyone was using it anyways, there was an issue with larger files that my web host didn't like. :-/
If there's enough interest I'll look into putting something up again, I just don't have it on my top priority list at the moment, if you or anyone wants a file hosted, I can still give ftp access, or upload it for you, no problem. Drop me a line: hostingat aximilation dotcom

I use a number of Microsoft Access Databases for my work, and each one is intensely coded and designed and basically run like actual programs. What I am looking for is to be able to take these databases with me. Now understanding that Microsoft and Android are two completely different beasts, what I really am looking for is the ability to take the tables (I use all Back-end database so all my tables are in a completely separate file then all my forms, queries, and reports) and the data with me and be able to run them in a program on Android that keeps the relationships and fields and all of that sort of stuff.
Now what would be great is the ability to use forms (even if special forms for android need to be made), run queries, and even be able to run reports and print as PDFs.
now I know how to code in VBA, hence the extensive coding I have done in Access, so anybody willing to WORK WITH in creating an Android Program to basically be an extension of Microsoft Access please contact me. Please not I use the words WORK WITH loosely, while I am trying to learn how to Program for Android, I currently do not have a computer that I can use to develop programs for android on, and well I would be only able to create the "Hello World" starter program and this project seems a slight bit more complicated. But what I can bring to the table is real world experience in testing and using the program day in and day out, a number of already existing Microsoft Access Databases ranging from Complex to Simple that I use every day. Really a program that can run Microsoft Access Tables on Android would be really useful to me and I am willing to do anything to help make this happen.

I think we must have the same job
Android utilizes an sqlite database engine and it looks like sqlite already offers a conversion utility HERE. The real question would be how to get the data in and out of the phone. Regarding forms, they definitely would need to be custom built.
Thanks this is deffenetly a start, From what I can tell this This Looks to be the most promising, It looks like all you would have to do is put a MS Access Database file on your SD CARD and have a program access it. That way you copy it back and forth. Unfortunately it doesn't support Access 2003, but I can save down. I also got a lot of learning to do in programing Java programs.
Forms would be as simply as making a program, this is great thanks much

I would like to say, "yes, please!" to this idea. I currently use Smart List to Go (the descendant of ThinkDB) on my Palm TX. The TX is dying, and I've been shopping for a replacement. HanDBase exists for the iPhone, but I don't want an iPhone. So I've been focused on WinMo - not by choice as much as by necessity.
And android option would be very welcome around my computers.

Exactly and we're talking about creating an app that would enable manipulation of an sqlite database. Essentially all that would be needed would be to create a ui framework wrapper for the existing api in android. Not the least monumental task I've heard of an individual taking on but not the most either.
The versions of pocket office that I've seen for android do not currently support Access databases as far as I'm aware. If I'm wrong could you post a link and save everyone some trouble?

Jackcess library is now patched to support android (will be in 1.2.2 release). Also seems to support 2000, 2003 and 2007 formats now.
Works great for me.
View jackcess site. Couldn't find anything on support for android. I'm using htc desire and would really like to find program to view ms access file. Can you tell me how you do it?
As I remember reading worked as on PC, while writing had some problems.
This forum prevents me from linking directly, but if you click tracker/patches on Jackcess project, check Android Compatibility Fix - ID: 3101578
The changes are in trunk and will be in the 1.2.2 release. I've added some
notes which will eventually make it to the FAQ page on the website
detailing the compatibility steps:
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.broken
Nio=true"
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resour
cePath=res/raw/"
- Copy the *.txt, *.mdb, and *.accdb files from the
"com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/" directory in the Jackcess jar to the
"/res/raw" Android application directory.
- Before executing any Jackcess code, set the current Thread's context
classloader, e.g.
"Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(Database.class.getClassLoader())".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Until this version (1.2.2) is released you need to build lib yourself.
You also need commons-lang and commons-logging from apache commons.
Before you use Jackcess in Android code, you set
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(
getClass().getClassLoader());
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.brokenNio",
"true");
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resourcePath",
"res/raw/");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and copy those resource files to res/raw
Then you can work as on PC, for example open /sdcard/yourprogram/file.mdb
Jackcess has no GUI, it's a library to read/write access files.
Getting an Access file into Android
I keep a lot of information on a Psion Revo, which has just turned its face to the wall and is giving up the ghost, and have always backed the information up on to my pc as an Access file. It looks easier to get this into a format acceptable to Android by converting the Access .mbx file into an Excel .xls file. This can be searched readily by Column and Values. Maybe this deals with too simple a need for most enquirers to the forum, but if it helps somebody then so much the better.
hi all i have beenlooking for something the same for some time now and just the other day i came accross this site cellica.com
the android app is free and the desktop application has a 5 day trial period or its $50 to buy it works great the only thing you can not do is create a report from the phone
i have emailed support team and they said they will be adding it on in the future.
Any Updates???
I currently build and use databases in MS Access and was wondering if there are any updates on this topic now that Tablets are in use now. Looking to get the Motorola Xoom (2nd version) in the future, but would love to be able to use a program that I would be able to access my MS Access databases while "on-the-go".
Anyone? This would be huge (I believe), since we now have tablets.
Thanks a bunch,
~Kilch~
Access to MS Access by Android
Hi,
I'm also looking to get on-the-go access to my Access databases on my Android HTC Tattoo.
The file is on it, I just need a tool to access it in read-only / search mode, but judging from the previous comments, there doesn't seem to be an oversupply in applications.
The "convert to Excel format" may be OK for me. I want to use a 3 language Access DB (dictionary) on my phone, so I'll try the Excel solution.
It would be nice if we had an ACCESS reader though...

Panacea Database
I know XDA frowns upon excessively hawking your own products here, but I do seem to be directly answering more than one of the reply questions, it just happens that the answer is an application my company released.
The Panacea Database application can handle Access from Access 2000 to Access 2007. It has also worked so far on every Access 2010 database we've tested, and we've received no complaints in that department yet. We release updates from time to time as we improve its functionality and features, often guided in our priorities by user e-mail and market comments. Our next update will be focused on improving screen layout for a variety of Android devices - from small QVGA smartphones, to large WXGA tablets. After that we may move onto other functionality.
In the interest of fairness, I'll point out arafa1209's post. He mentions Celicca Database, which is the only other application that I know of that deals with Access databases on Android. It has features Panacea does not have (yet) - ability to work with forms, ability to create and modify databases, ability to connect to your PC etc. Like us, they also send out updates improving their app regularly. So you can compare the apps, and use which one fits your needs better (or use both). If anyone knows of any others they can post here as well, but these are the only two I know of currently.
Just tried Panacea. Although it is more basic and annoyingly doesn't remember the last files you'be opened necessitating finding the file each time you open the app I prefer it for the simple reason you don't have to convert the Access database to another format.

If you update the app, this should be fixed, the last version should have this feature.
Got the update last week. Certainly goes a long way to making it more user-friendly. Keep up the great work!
Since the last update it seems to be broken. Although it remembers the last database I cannot open a table within any database.
Edit: It appears the file was corrupted. Loaded a new file and all working again.
Any news in this topic.
I tried panacea Database, works fine. But not very effective. Searching data is a must for me however I didnt manage to find a search option. When I search for tables, it cant even locate the tables by names.
The hello world from https://github.com/pjjanak/chromecast-hello-world was good, I was wondering if anyone know of any similar thing for video. I am trying to understand Fling (the receiver HTML part, I sort of get). However his Java and the Ramp protocol is a bit beyond me in the Sender portion. Anyone know of any simple HTML sender/reciever app that I could take a look at?
I realized that it is a lot to ask, but if anyone could help me I would appreciate it. I just want to learn on how to send a simple URL of video to the chromecast, no server hosting, no transcoding. Simple so my little brain could understand and learn.
I am getting my WhiteList, so I am looking for the official way.
Once your device is whitelisted, you can make use of your AppID in the receiver and sender (also make sure to note the namespace you give your project/app).
For the receiver, have a look at this example provided by google: https://github.com/googlecast/cast-android-sample/blob/master/receiver/receiver.html
This is a basic media player handler. This will suffice for what you've requested.
You will need to replace the sections 'YOUR_APP_ID_HERE', and [cast.receiver.RemoteMedia.NAMESPACE] with your AppID and Namespace. Otherwise, it is ready to use "as-is".
The sender is a completely different story.
You mention you want to have an HTML sender (as apposed to an android app or ios app as the sender). This will require a hosted scenario (which, with a little configuration, you can make your local PC be the HTML host - AKA local web server software to HOST the html/js/css. Or if you already have a host for your receiver, you may place these sender items on it as well).
I'll continue this post in a little while. Have to continue working my "real job" then come back to this lol. Sorry.
Thank you, Unholyfire, looking forward to your next post. And thank you for your help on the other post as well. I now have somewhere to host my file online. Just waiting on Google. And yep Sender is harder. I played around with the original sender from google (which doesn't work now), I used mongoose and whitelisted Localhost already so I am familiar with the hosting concept.
