Hello TeKo,
thank you for this app, i have download and installed it on a samsung i9100 (galaxy 2 with stock android 4.0.4) and connected to a boblight-daemon running on windows 8.
The connection works (the boblight-daemon recognized the connect) but after that, the bobdroid-app on my samsung crashes: no response for about 10 seconds, then the android message "bobdroid was closed" window appears. I have tried it for about 3 times with the same result.
How we can analyse what's wrong ?
Thanks & Regards, XBMCManni

Im going to emulate it on a similar device and see if it stops working there too.
thanks for the feedback.
Ok found it, in the last update I changed the notification, but I didnt know it was for api level 16 (4.1 or higher) only.
New version is uploaded my emulator is not working with 4.0 so I couldnt test it but the notification should work on non JellyBean devices now.

Hi,
Tried the app this weekend, but no luck.
First it could not connect at all ("check IP" message). I opened up port 19333 on my router and then I got a "time out" error, followed by the "check IP" message.
Did I miss something? Does XMBC need extra settings for the app (e.g. allow external control)?

No, it has nothing to do with XBMC in fact you can use it without xbmc even running.
If you entered the right ip and allow connection from every ip in your boblight.conf it should work.
You should only have to open the port if you connect over the Internet and not over Lan.

Like I said in the first post and in my reply you have to remove this part: "interface 127.0.0.1"
"interface 127.0.0.1" means you can only connect from the PC boblight is running on if you just remove it you can connect from every IP.
And you can connect with multiple clients at the same time so you dont have to stop XBMC to use the app.

android 4.1.2
latest boblightd and without interface line, so only
[global]
port 19333
app crashes if I want to change color.
I can see the "hello" message in boblightd, so the connection works.
boblightd config is also fine. works with xbmc plugin, boblight-enigma2, boblight-constant, and so on.
do you write a log file in your app?
