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.

Hi all,
Marius,
Thank you for pointing out that the mobile news application is not within
the scope of XWiki for GSoC. I will come up with an idea within the scope
as you have instructed.
Caty,
Thank you for directing me to the mobile application that is being
developed for XWiki. I went through the links you provided and read about
the design proposal and its proposed features in 3 tiers explained by
Ludovic. [1]
I forked the code from github[2] and used only the www directory and
created the application using Cordova. I installed it on my Android phone
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
2013.
From the Ideas page, the idea “Improve the messaging feature” captured my
attention and I would like to look more in to that and to know more about
the idea if mobile application feature development is not possible to be
taken up as a GSoC project.
I appreciate your advice on the project. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
There is some work done in the mobile direction that you can check out
"Mobile XWiki Client and Mobile Skin repositories on xwiki-contrib"
