Hi to all, hi Matthew
I had a look at matburt's Github today and found the new 0.4alpha-build.
Now, MobOrg4And supports the capturing of notes. That's what I was
waiting for all the time. I can say that Note capturing works on my HTC
Magic, albeit I had little time so far to test it more than once or
twice.
I just wanted to say thank you very much!
Note taking is rudimentary at the moment. As far as I can see, you have
to type todo-keywords, tags and active timestamps manually. But that
doesn't matter too much at the moment. The current alternatives (RTM,
Toodledo) have similar inconveniences. However, in MobOrg4And we are in
our familiar org-syntax, so /everything/ can be done without complex awk/sed
operations after syncing.
@Matthew: Do you have some kind of roadmap published anywhere?
Greetings,
Sven

You first need to install, from the market, apkInstaller. You then download a .apk file from http://wiki.github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/ and copy it on the phone, and choose it from apkInstaller.

If I might comment --- one of the worst things about Android applications, IMO, is the way they are confusing about whether menus should be displayed in page, or invoked by the menu button. I'd urge you to avoid the on-page display in favor of the menu button. If you stick to that the user never needs to remember to scroll down to find the controls and there are just too many ways for the on-page display to be rendered either hard to reach or completely inaccessible. This problem is made worse (especially by contrast with the iPhone) because you don't have full knowledge of the screen dimensions. So I'd suggest that if a button is important (save, send, schedule, etc.) that you make it reachable by the center menu button.

MobileOrg Android does attach a timestamp to the note (similar to what the iphone version does, just below the headline) but anything else you want as part of the heading you do have to type manually. I haven't yet published a roadmap because I've been on this frenetic pace to try to get close to feature parity with the iPhone version. I'm currently working on giving you the ability to change TODO states... this is a bit of a challenge because of how I store each of the org files. Richard's iPhone version actually reads the contents of the file into a database (I think? Or at least... some other data structure) which lends itself well to the org-mobile-push model where an updated heading just gets pushed into the mobileorg.org file. When I wrote my implementation I had not fully grasped that concept yet so I just store the file and parse it on-demand as you drill down into your file's contents. In order to support editing files and changing TODO states, I need to switch to Richard's model of storing the components that make up the file instead of trying to parse it on-demand. Once I have this finished I plan to release the Beta, and at the same time push the application into the Android Market (still free and open source, mind you) as well as release comprehensive documentation. I think (hope) that I can put the information on Richard's site dedicated to his version of MobileOrg and have his documentation be valid and easily understood for both version. 73, Matthew W.

Thanks Matthew. I recently started using DropBox on my desktop, laptop and Xperia phone. All my main org files are now in my DropBox. It is a fantastic application. It would be wonderful to have MobileOrg work with DropBox.

I set up my .emacs for stage push-pull and have a mydisk.se account with an org directory. M-x push will fail with an ssh timeout. I think it has to do with the fact that Emacs has no way of knowing the mydisk.se password. This in in my .emacs: (setq org-mobile-files (quote ("~/org/agenda.org"))) (setq org-mobile-directory "~/stage/") (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-push-hook (lambda () (shell-command "scp -r ~/stage/* hindiogine@mydisk.se:org/"))) (add-hook ' org-mobile-pre-pull-hook (lambda () (shell-command "scp hindiogine@mydisk.se:org/mobile.org ~/stage "))) (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-pull-hook (lambda () (shell-command "scp ~/stage/mobileorg.org hindiogine@mydisk.se:org]/"))) Is this code block correct and where do I specify my mydisk.se password?

So this should also work for you: 1. sudo apt-get install davfs2 2. sudo adduser enrico davfs (I don't remember if this is really the groupname, maybe it's davfs2) 3. edit the file /etc/fstab -> add a line at the end: https://mydisk.se/yourusername /home/enrico/webdav davfs user,noauto 0 0 4. edit the file /etc/davfs2/secrets, add the following line: /home/enrico/webdav yourmydiskusername yourmydiskpasswd 5. mkdir ~/webdav 6. sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2 --> set the SUID Bit (i.e. just say "yes") 7. mount ~/webdav Now, your folders of mydisk.se should appear under ~/webdav. Then tell Emacs (org-mobile) to use this folder instead of scp. I just used customize to set the org-mobile-directory. > This in in my .emacs: > > (setq org-mobile-files (quote ("~/org/agenda.org"))) > (setq org-mobile-directory "~/stage/") Change this to "~/webdav" or use "stage" in the procedure above. > (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-push-hook > (lambda () (shell-command "scp -r ~/stage/* hindiogine@mydisk.se:org/"))) > (add-hook ' org-mobile-pre-pull-hook > (lambda () (shell-command "scp hindiogine@mydisk.se:org/mobile.org > ~/stage "))) > (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-pull-hook > (lambda () (shell-command "scp ~/stage/mobileorg.org > hindiogine@mydisk.se:org]/"))) I think with the webdav-approach you have to delete these hooks.
