Since classes list of a wiki is very large, everytime UI fails to load.
Therefore I avoided putting it. Library works fine.

Hi all,
I've finished development of the XWiki Android Client. I also finished
XWiki
REST library unit tests and instrumentation tests
for the UI components
will
be added soon.
Here is a demo of the application.(This demo is captured using the
Android
emulator which may result slow response than an
actual device)
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiEM0iNMnTE )
Please give me your feedback so that I can improve the project.
Very nice video !
Here is what seems to be missing before a first release IMO:
* I can see an object viewer but no class viewer
but does the library allows it ?
Yes library allows it. I added editing content using object selection in my
recent push. This component was developed early but have some issues. Now
it's working fine. Go to object View and select an object to edit the
content.
* did you had time to implement some caching ? even if
you don't have
edition yet would still be nice to cache some pages and check behind
the scene if the current page changed on server to avoid
re-downloading it when you go to page1 then page2 and then go back to
page 1.
Sometimes I used caching but there are many places which will improve the
performance by caching. Sorry I'm little bit busy these days and couldn't
find time to do that. I will surely improve caching later.
* is https supported ?
Since you are not advised me to look into https I didn't setup https classes
yet. But https is possilbe in Android development.
* in the setup I see you have only the host/port as
server
information, as we discussed some time ago I think it would be better
to let the user put the full base URL (http://host:port/xwiki/rest/)
of the REST service (but you can have a wysard to help generate the
URL), that's because some part of the URL can be changed by
configuration and it also answer my previous question about https I
guess
* is it too big for the GSOC to have the server setting part as an
Android account ? would be super nice since it would allow several
application to use the same account to access a wiki. At worst if you
looked at it it would be nice to put what you found some far in a
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ page and same note for any
other TODO you have in mind that you could not finish
I think there is no time left to work in GSOC. But I like to contribute
XWiki Android continuously. I'll get more free time after my internship
ends( will take another three/four weeks). Then I'll work on this.
Some suggestions for the demo:
* would probably be nicer to do the demo with a well known wiki like
xwiki.org or myxwiki.org
I'll give a demo using one.
Did not had much time to look at the code of the library yet but will
sure do next Monday.
It's ok :)
I can see on http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/org/xwiki/android/ that
you have xwiki-rest-gson-model, xwiki-rest-model-simplexml and
xwiki-rest-simplexml-model so which one is teh right form ? As I told
you already I think you should have
- xwiki-rest-model
-- xwiki-rest-model-gson
-- xwiki-rest-model-simplexml
As you said I
renamed xwiki-rest-simplexml-model to xwiki-rest-model-simplexml. I didn't
touch the gson model lately. So no changes are made to gson model.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Chamika Weerasinghe
