************ Report of Week3 ********************** This week, I finished the skeleton code for *ring-client-iot*.
I am doing my work under ring-daemon/bin directory now. Like dbus client and rest client, I create my own iot directoy for my iot client. To make it compile ok, I also modify the configure.ac under ring-daemon directory. At the same time, I modify the Makefile.am and main.cpp to compile my own iot client. After all this compile stuff setting done, with ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-iot make We can get our ring client iot under ring-daemon/bin/ directory now. Up to now, the iot client can register a Ring Account, it can also receive and send Ring text messages. Actually, we just do some wrapper of the dring API, like *configurationmanager*, *callmanager*,*presencemanager*,*videomanager*. This is what we do in dbus/rest client. Then I create a main loop for the iot client. In the loop, we will poll events, for which part I just handle the receiving a message by installed a incomingAccountMessage handler. We will also send our message to the destination, even though the message and destination are all hardcoded. My code is here: https://github.com/SimpCosm/ring-client-iot This just contains my work part, not all the ring daemon code. By the way, the ring daemon is based on Ring beta2. Plan for week4: - change Makefile to realize the compilation of ring client iot independent with the ring daemon. Since the ring daemon src code can provide us with a *libring.a* static library, maybe we just need the libring.a locally and write a Makefile. I am wondering if the automake tools are still needed. - reconsidering the account register process of Ring. I once tried to import Ring Account that we have created using gnome-ring using the .local/share/ring/b67a55fbac7b06a0/export.gz by the *importAccounts* API, but it failed. Then I use the *addAccount* API to create a new Ring Account. It worked, but the code is ugly, you can see it here( https://github.com/SimpCosm/ring-client-iot/blob/master/iot/iotclient.cpp). And everytime I start the iot client process, I have to create a new Ring Account. This can be bothering, and I have to deal with it. To do this, I need to have a deep understanding about the Ring account stuff. ——————————————————————————————————————— Houmin Wei ( 魏后民 ） Undergraduate，School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science Peking University, Beijing, 100871.
