Hi,
I'm not sure why the apk does not work. I ran it fine on the simulator. It
could be a compatibility issue with your device (which is it ?)
If the screens stays on wikis and tools it means initialization has failed,
but it could be many things (failed to load translations, failed to load
cordova, etc..)
The easiest way to run the application is to run it on a local browser. IE
and Safari I think can run it fine.
Firefox and Chrome will block on ajax requests because of security issues.
To fix this you can use:
1/ put the code behind a web server
2/ Use the Firefox CORS extension to force CORS headers which will allow
cross domain requests
I usually develop on Safari (on Mac) as it can run the code as is.

Hi Ludovic,
Thank you for your instructions regarding configurations. I had previously
taken the older JQuery Mobile version which does not have a configuration
function.
I downloaded the alpha release of the mobile client from the link you
sent.[1] I installed it on my Android device and run it. But for some
reason it only gives me a list view with two items "wikis" and
"tools" and
it is not possible to process further. What can be the reason for this?
Since the apk did not work I tried to build it from the source.[2] Since it
had a build.xml inside the Android folder I built with ant and it was
successfully built. But I was not able to run the project. Can you please
advice me regarding building the project from source so that I can test the
current version of the mobile client? Thank you in advance.

Hi Buddhiprabha,
You are very welcome to make a good proposal in the mobile area that
would
build on the current mobile client.
You need to show us that you know what it means to do Mobile Web
Development, that you understand the current architecture of the code and
can work on the technologies needed (Cordova, Notifications, etc..).
The next set of features will probably require slightly more native
development.
You can try to convince us that you are a good candidate by analyzing the
current prototype and tell us what you think should be improved and what
are the most important features from your point of view.
(I have some ideas so we can test you on that)
There is an alpha release for Android as a package here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MobileClientAlphaRelease
Since you already build it, you want to test it you can either:
1/ In the simulator configure localhost. For that the settings would be:
server: http://localhost:9080
baseurl: http://localhost:9080/xwiki/
viewurl: http://localhost:9080/xwiki/bin/view/
resturl: http://localhost:9080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/
2/ In a real phone point it to a instance available on the net (simular
URLs as those) for example dev.xwiki.org
server: http://dev.xwiki.org
baseurl: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/
viewurl: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/
resturl: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest/wikis/dev/ (slightly
different
here because dev.xwiki.org is a subwiki of a XEM
instance)
3/ in a real phone point it to an XWiki SAS Cloud instance (register on
https://network.xwiki.com where you can get
it's https. Here example with the wiki called "ludovic"
server: https://ludovic.cloud.xwiki.com
baseurl: https://ludovic.cloud.xwiki.com/xwiki/
viewurl: https://ludovic.cloud.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/
resturl: https://ludovic.cloud.xwiki.com/xwiki/rest/wikis/wikiXXX/
In the last url wikiXXX needs to be replace by a value specific to your
wiki. You can get this value by pasting this in a wiki page our your
XWiki
Cloud instance:
{{velocity}}
$context.database
{{/velocity}}
At this point XWiki mobile cannot get the value of wikiXXX for XWiki
Cloud.
This might be fixed in a future version of
XWiki.
BTW I'm not sure you took the right code. The v2 is in a branch:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/mobile-standardxwikiclient/tree/v2
You might have taken the older JQuery Mobile version which is slower and
does not have a configuration function.

to see
its existing features. I could run the application on my device
successfully and I tried to connect to a cloud. I could not figure out
how
it can be connected to a particular XWiki
instance. Can someone please
tell
me how the application can be connected to a
particular instance. Is
there
a test cloud that can be used to test the
application?
I would like to contribute to this application by implementing some of
the
features that are listed in the design proposal
for the mobile client.
What
features will be integrated in the next release
of the application? I
would
like to know if it possible for me to take this
as a GSoC project for
GSoC
