XBMC Remote for Android

Topfs2 Wrote:Is the wifi access android problem or only in this app? I can't understand how the app could change this as it just use the available one.

It's sad you have troubles and I would love if someone else with G1 could try and hopefully get it working.

The Magic I have it works splendid on..

Cheers,
Tobias.

There is something wrong with my phone, have to go to a service point.

But did get wifi acces for a short moment and tried the your app.
It wasn't working but it could also be my damn phone.

Edit:
Sorry, but your application is the problem.
My home was crashing all the time and couldn't acces wifi.
Did uninstall your app. and everything is like it should be.

Fixed in v0.1.1

IP:PORT incase you need other than 80.

New version I can install without using my pc and does install without a forced closed.

And it works !!!

Remote - works but do miss buttons like prev./back
Music - see my files and will play.
Videos - see my files and will play.
Pictures - see my files but can't play the pictures.
Now Playing - When music plays can only pause and play and there is no info.

It's a good start, with the other remote app. for android I can't see my files with yours I can fantastic.

It would be awesome to see my library. You know...

Btw for android there is a application called "Gmote" you might take a look at it and borrow some stuff.

Yay, it works
I would recommend fixing landscape mode on the g1 though (When you slide the keyboard open, the buttons don't rearrange => the textfield is off-screen)

I might take a look at the code and hack a few things in if you don't mind...

Wonderfull, I'll probably keep downloads with just the APK and revision then. Should be GPL compliant afaik.

Next release will probably contain a big refactor of that entire view, will for sure bring in media control amongst other thing!

I never tried pictures, just threw it in there quick, will take a look at it asap

Waffa Wrote:Now Playing - When music plays can only pause and play and there is no info.

Yup, will fix in next version. Current version they are mostly there to show how it will look

Music library should be working in the httpApi I made, so it will hopefully be in next release, thumbs might not make it though

Can't seem to find the sourcecode for it but those lists with icons is something I plan on having atleast. Just need to understand how to make em

Go right ahead, any help is most appreciated.

The rearranging I haven't tried at all, will need to look on how that should be done properly.

Also in the remote view I plan to remove the navigation buttons and make the virtual keyboard pop up so one can use the keyboard both virtual and hardware as a keyboard directly attached to XBMC.

You know I do like the way the remote works in xbmc remote from fali.

The scrollball is very handy/fast to use and also the back button is in place.
The ability to use the keyboard is also very nice though I miss some buttons

Edit:

The xbox remote is very usable.
Scrollball replaces the arrows and select.
The back button is back of course.
Make for the other buttons onscreen buttons, exept the num. buttons.
That would mean 11 and with volume up/down/mute 14 onscreen buttons.

And have the good old usable xbox remote functions back with your android phone !

Yup that is pretty much as I have planned it!, does sound like a good gameplan. Not sure on the backbutton though, how do one back out?

With the home button and menu -> exit would be nice.

Phone menu button or make also a onscreen button for it.
You will use "back" much more than "back out".
The back button on phone is on the right place, very usable.

Edit:
After some thinking....the menu button would be a great button to back out to:
Movies
Tv shows
Videos
Music
Pictures
Settings
Remote !

Huh looks like xbmc
