larry akah commented on COMDEV-123:
-----------------------------------
i have built and ran the android app placed on the github repo here:
https://github.com/myGrid/taverna-mobile, since i am using eclipse for my
android development. i found some bugs in the app as concerns the life cycle
and for example in the search for a given workflow, i found some useless
progress dialogs and extra progress mechanisms which clutter up the UI and end
up blocking it. The progress dialog used is no longer advised. I am working to
see how the app itself functions as a whole so as to better understand the
nature and specific requirements of the project. It would require fixing the
bugs that arise in order to see the other deep functionalities.
> Taverna: Android app Taverna Mobile

> Key: COMDEV-123
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-123
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes
> Labels: android, gsoc, gsoc2015, java, mentor, mobile
>
> Project: Apache Taverna (incubating) http://taverna.incubator.apache.org/
> Mentor: Ian Dunlop <[email protected]>, Stian Soiland-Reyes

> Taverna Mobile: A year or so ago in conjunction with a University of
> Manchester undergraduate we developed an Android app to run Taverna
> workflows available on myExperiment (http://www.myexperiment.org)
> using Taverna Server.
> It is available here https://github.com/myGrid/taverna-mobile. Later on we
> updated it to use Ahe android IDE from google/idea and the gradle build
> system as well
> as fixing some of the dependencies, see
> https://github.com/ianwdunlop/tavernamobile.
> The code relies on some APIs from google and apache which have moved
> on since then eg the https libraries which needs updated.
> The project would be to:
> 1) fix the ssl/https parts and use the latest version of taverna server
> 2) update the code to remove some legacy dependencies and use the
> latest APIs
> 3) improve the UI and responsiveness
> 1) & 2) are the most important bits with 3) being a bit extra
> depending on how the first bits progress.
> The project would interest students with a good grounding in Java
> looking to get into Android mobile development.
> You would be part of he Apache Taverna community
> http://taverna.incubator.apache.org/community/
> which would be giving advice and feedback on your
> app.
