Then we should target to the >= Android 4.1 versions. Is it OK now.
Also I want to re-create the app because I want to implement the Material Design Theme. (Check this link : http://developer.android.com/design/material/index.html) I will use the code or take help from the previously created application.
From what I understand http://developer.android.com/design/material/index.html is only available since 5.0 so might now be able to use it. You should not put too much constraint on this part since it's really not the heart of the project (after all there is no much UI in this application except for the login panel, the registration form you proposed).
People who are marked as Admin in the XWiki and make changes to the Contacts then the contacts will also updated on the XWiki Also If Some people want to update their information the Xwiki They can just update the details in the contacts and their details will be automatically sync. This will also help XWiki user to update their info.
With respect to my showcase. I have competed many of my projects outside my college works which are uploaded on github Account ( https://github.com/manishbisht). I have also created one android app https://goo.gl/n2OmRH you can check this. I have also designed an Web Application that takes the name of the person from the user and tells you the details of the user using the Google WEB Speech API. Sample Video on youtube - https://youtu.be/73jNdYjMJXk.
Recently I am developing one theme for the phpmyadmin. Issue link : https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/11811
Hope this will help me to get the project :) This is all about me.
Thanks a lot Manish for taking the time to discuss it so quickly after the Organization selection !

So I am planning to work on this project. I love to contribute on projects like this. Also have a great mentor for this project.
In this way I am planning to start. Create a new android application on the Android Studio.
Don't forget that there is already stuff in https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator (created from Android Studio) that you could reuse. I don't think you should start from scratch unless you saw something specific in it that prevent from continuing with it.
Then on the home screen it will ask users for the XWiki Account Details to login or if the user doesn't have the account their is an option for the registration also. And after the successful login the account will be added to the accounts section in android. On the next step it will ask you to add/sync XWiki Users in your contacts (I am making one modification that user can skip this step also).
** (nice to have) all modifying those Android contacts and send the modifications to the wiki Can you please explain what does this mean.
This is about two ways synchronization. The first way is XWiki -> Android but a nice to have would be to also allow the user to modify a contact that come from XWiki and have the modification applied automatically to XWiki (that is if the user have enough right to modify this contact, for example he will always have enough right to modify his own contact and if he is admin he can also modify others). This makes a lot easier to update to information in his profile or on other contact (missing phone number that you know, etc.).
also I think we will get some details to retrieve the user details that
are
stored on xwiki servers and allowed to modify if new account is created.
I am making this whole project on android studio and think of to target android versions > 5.0 (Is it ok or we have to target the < 5.0 devices also). Also to make the UI more attractive I am planning to implement the material design on the Application and one animated Xwiki welcome sceen that will be started on the starting of the Application.
I really don't think 5.0 is a good starting point. Its market share is still very low compared to other versions of Android and you should not target anything more recent than 4.4 and ideally 4.1 from what I can see on http://www.droid-life.com/tag/distribution/ for example.
Waiting for the suggestions on my plans.
Note that your final proposal will need a more details than that (things you plan to use in the Android SDK, etc). Since you are not the only one that seems interested by this idea you will need to show us that you will be able to finish this (i.e. you understand how things should be done, etc.).

Hi Manish,
Great to see someone interested in that project, I would love to have all wiki contact on my phone :)
We mostly discuss projects here so no need to contact me directly.

Hello Devs,
I am Manish Bisht currently in second year perusing B.Tech from SKIT, Jaipur, Rajasthan (India). I am familiar with many languages some of them are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, C/C++, Java, and I am currently learning Python also. I have created many projects which are hosted on my github account (https://github.com/manishbisht). Also apart from my college hours i have also started my own startup with Run4Offers ( http://www.run4offers.com/)
I would love to contribute on this project. So now I want to contact the mentor for the project discussion. How to contact him. Also If i am going right Under this project we have to make one android application to craete a XWiki authenticator and contact synchronization of XWiki users in the Android contacts. And after authenticating the account will be added to the accounts list like Google, Dropbox are added(I have added the snapshot but I got the message need approval from moderator so i have mailed again with same text without snapshot). And then for contact syncronization we have to make syncronization like the WhatsApp does.
What is in https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator is mostly a not finished POC for the following goal:
1) Provide a reusable standard Android authenticator that any application would use to talk to an XWiki instance. The same way many applications propose you to reuse the registered Google accounts. It must be as safe as possible (no clear password given to all application asking for it for example :)).
2) As both an example of how to use this authenticator and a very useful tool, implement a synchronization adapter which will be in charge of: ** putting all (or a configurable subset of them) the users from the wiki in your Android contacts ** (nice to have) all modifying those Android contacts and send the modifications to the wiki
There is a lot of stuff already started but should not be taken as granted and at the end the result should be: * well documented (especially what an application author should do to use that connector properly but also for anyone that want to continue working on it) * have automated tests * easily built without something like Android Studio (probably graddle which seems to be the new standard in Android world. XWiki is mainly using Maven right now and Maven have Android plugins.), it will also need to be automatically built on ci.xwiki.org
Of course the plan is to have it on Google Play Store at the end :)
Feature wise this project is not very big (and it's already started) but the most important thing is to be as standard and integrated as possible and easy to use for applications that would want to manipulate an XWiki instance.
Your proposal should details what you plan to do, what Android version your are targeting (should support version as old as possible since latest version are far from being as common as application authors would like them to be :)), etc.
Can I start working on this project or some other person is working on this. Can I start preparing some of the snapshots that i can attach in my project proposal.
If you are talking about https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-authenticator yes nobody is planning to work on it any time soon as far as I know.
Now for the "Can I start working on this project" it depends what you mean exactly. Anybody can work on it and do pull requests since it's an open source project but as for the GSOC we did not pass the student selection phase yet so it's mostly about writing proposals for now.
Waiting for your replies.
