i don't think there was anything special with login. i appear to be using plain text POST requests, albeit to an odd page.
use wireshark or something to grab a login request from your browser and it should be obvious (LoginControllerServlet, j_security_check). i'm not entirely sure what i did here, lots of commented out code...

Login is a right pain in the ass. There are three different things you have to do, depending on whether you just want to sign in, want to add a post, or want to bookmark.
Suggest you start with logged-out functionality first, as it all works exactly the same whether or not you are logged in, in terms of displaying the boards and loading the threads. If you get all that done then you'll know you're going to get somewhere and it'll be worth considering the auth pain. I'll send you the zing code to help if you get that far.
As for the API, start with the "mobile device interface" link on the front page. For each of those URLs, just remove the ?stylesheet=mobile.xsl to get plain XML.

maybe a "view in context" link for search results which takes you to a page with the previous 10 and next 10 posts

You know the problem I had a couple of years ago, the last time I changed my phone? It's back with my new phone.
It keeps a completely different state to every other login on the same account. Bookmarks not updating but only on this device.
Last time it got fixed because there was a phone fault and I replaced the device itself. Not sure they'll accept "ILX doesn't update properly" as a defect this time.

Okay, I now have an Android app that does All The Things that you can do logged-out. Want to add a couple things, like starring boards a la Zing Touch, but it's probably worth having other people look at this now. It is, uh, very reminiscent of Zing, except buggier and not as pretty.
Anybody have an Android device and willing to take it for a spin?

I also fixed said problem above this weekend finally, by doing maybe the 10th cache clear since I got the phone. Just weird.

this is really nice!! perfectly happy with how it looks, minimal and loads super fast just like ilx should be. plz never to change font to century gothic or w/e
havent found a trace of a bug yet. will definitely use once login happens (which i'm sure involves all the really hard stuff)
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2016 14:41 (seven years ago) link
haha also you can keep 'flagging' too
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2016 14:43 (seven years ago) link
pull-to-refresh would be a good addition
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2016 15:51 (seven years ago) link
if i was really picky about the looks then the titlebar could stay white, or v pale grey. nothing wrong with navy but it compresses the page
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link
Whoo, congrats! Let me know if you need help with any of the interactions. The login code is an absolute bastard to reverse-engineer, I can talk you through it when you get there.
― stet, Monday, 1 August 2016 16:04 (seven years ago) link
xpost thank u for your feedback. you can hit that link again for one that has swipe to refresh on the threads list. lemme experiment with title bar colors.
thanks stet! I guess now's as good a time as any to dig into that. hopefully make progress before work gets crazier. lukasb at google's mail thing.

new version at that link with nicer toolbars, swipe to refresh thread (from bottom)
― 0 / 0 (lukas), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:50 (seven years ago) link
nice ty
shouldve said earlier "will definitely use" means "will happily pay for" btw!
still not encountered any bugs (what are the known ones?), u could/should probably take it to ile and get more eyes on it
will have a couple more cosmetic suggestions after everything else is sorted but they're totally nbd
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 09:55 (seven years ago) link
oh yeah - links to specific posts don't work, just loads at the end of its thread per normal
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 10:06 (seven years ago) link
Toolbars? I just see it as a reader (a very nice one though).
― Horizontal Superman is invulnerable (aldo), Wednesday, 3 August 2016 10:24 (seven years ago) link
sorry aldo, I meant title bar.
oh that link problem makes sense, thanks. no other known bugs but this is my first Android app and I'm verrry rusty at coding. all suggestions very welcome.

Thanks for fixing the YouTube embed issue!
Also, maybe this has been discussed before, but any thoughts about making ILX an https site? Is that tough to do?
― schwantz, Thursday, 18 August 2016 17:15 (seven years ago) link
It's a little bit tough, but that's no excuse. It's on my list of things to do. I'm currently updating the sandbox with the latest versions of the code, and if it all looks OK, I'll send it to the real site soon
― stet, Thursday, 18 August 2016 18:11 (seven years ago) link
Thanks stet.

how do i set it to display numerals rather than written out numbers ("14 minutes ago" instead of "fourteen minutes ago")
― esempiu (crüt), Wednesday, 24 August 2016 22:54 (seven years ago) link
The time lapses between posts are written out now instead of being indicated numerically. It distracts me every time I see it, like a rogue eyelash in my peripheral vision that I can't get ahold of.
