I have an android phone, and now an iPad. It would be great if I could integrate these devices into the dashboard so I can log time and control my activities while I am not at my desk (which is most of the time). The easiest way to do this, I would think, is exposing the current control application functionality on a web page. I know you can call start and stop from the local machine through an http GET.
Is there any such we interface that provides a light version of the control capabilities of the desktop app?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I downloaded the android sdk for this exact reason, it's on my todo list :) No plans to support apple products as I don't have a macbook which is required to install their dev environment and to buy their $99 dev license.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You can navigate the hierarchy and it displays a "start timing" icon on leaf items which switches the dashboard to that item and starts the timer when clicked
Also if you want to bypass the "security" feature built into dashboard then on linux you can use port-forwarding
ssh -L 3579:localhost:2468 localhost
on windows use putty to forward or if you have a webserver installed write a script to forward the requests. I wrote one in php, PM me if you would like it.

Hi,

Write a simple app that connects to laptop or pc making http gets to the dashboard
Ways to connect would be bluetooth, range is generally about 5-10 meters, or wifi which is probably the best.
You would then configure the app with your laptop/pc's ip address then make the following calls
http://<ip address>:2468/control/startTiming.class
http://<ip address>:2468/control/stopTiming.class
http:/<ip address>:2468/Non+Project/foo//control/setPath.class
I downloaded the android sdk for this exact reason, it's on my todo list :) No plans to support apple products as I don't have a macbook which is required to install their dev environment and to buy their $99 dev license.
I just found the following link to dashboard which does what you need:
http://<ip address>:2468//dash/hier.class
You can navigate the hierarchy and it displays a "start timing" icon on leaf items which switches the dashboard to that item and starts the timer when clicked
Then to stop timing you can use
http://<ip address>:2468/control/stopTiming.class
I bookmarked these two links in my android web browser and it worked great over wifi :)
Also if you want to bypass the "security" feature built into dashboard then on linux you can use port-forwarding
ssh -L 3579:localhost:2468 localhost

Hi Pablo, you can send me the script?? please
Thanks
