Have you read the org-mode documentation for MobileOrg? http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html#MobileOrg That's a good place to start in figuring out what MobileOrg expects of org-mode, and also what org-mode expects from MobileOrg. The synchronization modes refer mostly to where you stage your org-mode files. The outline mode will work in the upcoming version of the application. You should definitely read the org-mode documentation about MobileOrg and I think that will give you a pretty good idea of how synchronization is handled from both sides.

That's a good place to start in figuring out what M= obileOrg expects of org-mode, and also what org-mode expects from MobileOrg= .

I downloaded the MobileOrg for Android application, and have some questions= ,
most of them are probably dumb, because I have only played with the
phone for a bit.

1) Is there documentation regarding the various setups/syncing modes?
I would like to know how to get data off my phone, put .org files on my pho= ne.
I know how to use Dropsend, etc, but I would probably rather just use
rsync or git to
sync the phone's data.

2) The menu for MobileOrg Android has an "Outline" button, but it=
doesn't do anything.

3) In "Configure Synchronization Settings" there's a setting = where you
specify where index.org<= br> is. =A0What do I put in there? =A0Is this setting affected by the other
Synchronization settings?

4) What does "Sync" actually mean? =A0Is it like rsync where it c= opies
the latest file, or does it attempt
a merge? =A0What happens if you have new stuff in each file? =A0Does
DropSend asking you which one you want, or
provide a diff tool?


As you can see, I'm very new to Android and have no idea what I'm d= oing :-)

I do plan (within the next few months) to start learning how to
develop on Android platform,
and I think that Mobile Org Android would be a good "Scratch your own<= br> itch" program to start with.

I'd be more than willing to start a FAQ on the Github Wiki with any
answers that I get from this post.

Thanks,
--Nate
