Re: [Ring] Android Call StatusBar Exception/MultiDex

Nope, still no go.
I even went to that icon site and took a very simplistic one, but alas
that failed as well:
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:height="24dp"
android:width="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="24"
android:viewportHeight="24">



I'm sure you could test it on your side without an old phone by just
making a temporary notification message display on loading and using a
virtual kitkat device.

Thank you Nathan for this report.

This issue is quite common on Android.
It's caused by the library that convert vector pictures to raster in order to 
keep compatibility with api < 21.

However, vectors brings lots of improvements so I'd rather find a vector that 
don't make the lib crash instead of using a png like you did.

Here is a patch for this issue:
https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/#/c/9374/
The vector drawable is taken from http://materialdesignicons.com/ and look like 
the old one.

Since the emulator is crashing on call and our oldest phones are out of order, 
I was not able to test it.
Can you tell me if it helps?

I think I narrowed down the problem to the vectors...
https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/4968#issuecomment-26631

In NotificationServiceImpl.java - showCallNotification(), I had
changed "ic_call_end_white" in addAction to "ring_logo_24dp.png" for
everything (strictly for testing) and ring did NOT crash when
sending/receiving calls.

It's never sad to not have a feature implemented on an open source software.

I prefer to see it as an opportunity to contribute.

This weekend I will give a try with the existing code. In the mean time I
will consider helping

in implementing something for LDAP support !

I will keep you posted.

Usually in institutions you try to reuse your ldap server for 
authentication and/or providing accounts to applications like ring or 
tuleap (that we are also using ;) ).

Hi!

Cool. This is some different pieces we host for Ring and you will
need if wanted.

1. The name server, to be able to register pseudonyms. We host
ns.ring.cx  on a Ethereum blockchain. But you
can do whatever you need for your case, the documentation is here:

https://tuleap.ring.cx/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/ring/index.php?title=Name_server_protocol


(For a personal account, I just use a json hosted on my website).
You will have nicknames like x...@your.name.server


2. The turn server (turn.ring.cx ) used for
pass through the NAT and for data transfer. We use a simple coturn
server and I'm currently writing this:

https://tuleap.ring.cx/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/ring/index.php?title=File_transfer


(incomplete). You can use a coturn server

3. Optional (and more complex): For push notifications, we host a
OpenDHT proxy and a GoRUSH server to send notifications to Android
and Apple devices (doc here:
https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/opendht/wiki
). If you want
to use your own server, you will need to recompile a version for
these devices with the certificate for your app.

I hope it's helping.

Have a nice day.

Sebastien.

Hello, ring Team !

I met with some of you guys yesterday at your stand @UQAM  during
the seminary on OSS.

As promise I tried Ring last night and it worked successfully
between a mac and a Linux computer.

Nevertheless I have not fully achieved my use case as those
clients are preconfigured to use your servers.

I need to configure equivalent servers in order to have the app
working in a LAN and trough a VPN.

I'll keep you posted.

Re: [Ring] hello !

[Kitio Fofack]

Thank you very much Sebastien,

All that information is going to be very helpful ! I will start working on
it asap.

But before I get into those servers configurations, I'm asking myself if
ring clients can use a ldap server like OpenLdap as name server out of the
box.

Usually in institutions you try to reuse your ldap server for
authentication and/or providing accounts to applications like ring or
tuleap (that we are also using ;) ).
