By mistake I sent an answer to Daniel as a PM. Now, I don't have the previous posting because of my expiration settings. I will do some editing to my original answer because of questions he asked me in the meantime. I'm really sorry. Hi Daniel Daniel Martins writes: > BTW what Android smartphone do you have? I have a HTC Magic. ConnectBot is my favorite application. I have Emacs always running as a daemon on my Computers. So connecting to them via ConnectBot and starting Emacs is a matter of five seconds. No need for a genuine Emacs on Android.=20 EDIT: You can do the same if you have Emacs 23 running and if you are willing to never shut your PC down. To speed up the start of Emacsclient I connect to the PC via ConnectBot using a key, not a password. My .bashrc has an alias defined to start 'emacsclient -t' with the alias 'ec'. Emacs will be available within ca. 5 seconds even from a distance of 300km. (You should have a UTMS flatrate for this.) For Org stuff, I have an Emacs function that automatically generates html files of all important agenda views once every hour. I copy these files to the phone via AndFTP once or twice a day. Capturing I do with Remember the Milk. So there are two methods of working with Org on Android before MobileOrg is ready: the ssh method and the FTP/Remember the Milk method. I'm quite happy with this solution. EDIT: I explained my RTM method in a posting some weeks ago. The code is included in that thread. Just search the archive for 'Remember the Milk'. As for the function for generating html exports of the agenda views:=20 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun sb-org-update-year-agenda-file (&optional force) (interactive) (save-excursion (save-window-excursion (let ((file "~/.gtd/html/org-year-agenda.html")) (org-batch-agenda "a" org-agenda-ndays 180 org-agenda-include-diary= nil) (org-write-agenda file))))) ;; do it once at startup (sb-org-update-year-agenda-file t) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This produces an html output of the main agenda view for 6 months. I have a few other export functions for NEXT/HOME, NEXT/OFFICE and the like. All html files are updated every 30 minutes to include all tasks captured in the meantime: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun sb-org-update-all () (interactive) (sb-org-update-today-txt-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-week-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-mit-txt-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-mit-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-big-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-today-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-year-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-home-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-office-agenda-file) (sb-org-update-waiting-file) (sb-org-update-delegated-file) (sb-org-update-project-agenda-file) ) (run-at-time nil 1800 'sb-org-update-all) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- On the Android side, I download these files once or twice a day to the SD card with AndFTP (via SFTP of course). The directory ~/.gtd/html is configured as the working directory in AndFTP. So, just press 'select all' and start the download. This takes about 10 seconds, because the year agenda file is quite large. I have linked each file on the Android desktop with an Icon, which opens the file in an html viewer. The view contains all formatting and colors of the original Emacs agenda view. As you see, I export some agenda views also as txt files (it's the same function as above, just replace the file ending .html with .txt). I use these files with GnomeOSD, i.e. my most important appointments, deadlines and things do to appear on my PC screen once an hour in large letters and with a sound, to remind me of my tasks.
