Linode Manager for Android

Release History

I'm waiting the Symbian client, a JavaME one will be enough for both Symbian/Feature Phones/WindowsMobile and hey,

once you have a JavaME code you can build also cod file for BlackBerry.

IMHO you should consider to write a JavaME client,

your client isn't so difficult to be implemented, JavaME + Canvas should be a definitive solution for:

Feature Phones,

Symbian (all symbian phone have a JVM)

Windows Mobile (do you know a windows mobile phone without a JVM?)

BlackBerry can run JavaME code really well.

Just my two cent.

When I try to access the CPU graph I get a "Session Error" on the screen where the graph should be - this is with version 0.5.1 on a Nexus G1 phone.

Hey, awesome app!

Quick question though, is it reloading the page when it switches to landscape view? I get a new "Loading …" message every time I change orientation.

Just did, but it still gives me the "Session Error" message instead of a graph. Perhaps it is something specific to my phone? I'm running a Nexus One with 2.1-update1 firmware.

Everything else in the app seems to work quite nicely.

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi,

Just installed your App today, after coming across this thread.

I can't seem to log in though - I keep getting an Error:101. I'm copying and pasting the API Key and correct username/pass and still no love…

Is this common? or at least a known issue?

Thanks for your time…

It worked for me, but I only set the username and password, not the API key.

Yeah, initially I only used the usernnam and password… After that failed I tried with the api key…

@jangs:

Folks,

How can we be assured that your app is not collecting our login information and storing it for some purpose?

How do you know Android isn't doing the same thing?

But you might be on to something, my Linode VM is so boring the author asked me to STOP using his application.

Hi there,

Error 101 mean CONNECTION_ERROR (i'll put the errors descriptions in next release).

Your internet connection is OK ?

Thanks.

Hi jebblue,

It's not my intent capture any information of the users. I just develop this application to make easy my work with Linodes.

But you can audit my application with internet proxy, all request should be with linode servers.

Thank you for your concern.

I'm try to fix it.

But my Android Phone bricked , and i can't simulate this error on emulator. :(

Im trying to connect over Wifi from my house at the moment, so that internet connection is fine. But, I'll explore that path a bit more and see what I can make of it.

Thanks for the work!

Try open this url on your android browser https://api.linode.com.

If don't work, maybe any issue on your DNS or proxy.

Please test.

Jan,

The update fixed the "Loading" when the orientation is changed. However, I'm seeing some new (at least I didn't notice this before) problems:

Stats is showing things like ML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> for Incoming, Outgoing and Total under network, as well as Used and Free under storage.

I'm also getting "Session Error" when I go to the "Graphs" area.

I think I figured out what's happening. It seems these functions of the app use grab from the Linode Manager web site. I have whitelisting turned on for my profile and I was accessing over 3G from a non-whitelisted IP.
