Flario - Android client for Flarum

michal0468

I've started to create mobile application for Flarum.
Why do I create this application? Because mobile version website doesn't support notifications and doesn't work offline. It also doesn't support wear devices, doesn't have customization options and in my opinion this is more slower than native ?

Actually functions:
- Adding websites (save for local database, getting from api)
- Showing websites
- Deleting websites
- Basic showing discussions

TODO:
- Pagination
- Showing discussion (post list)
- Support for Google Now
- Settings (customization colors, etc.)
- The best post editor
- Integration with android share menu.

There are actually screenshots (it Will be more sexy):

Can you share your opinion for me?

michal0468 So are you using the API to get content or what?

Please make it open-source :-) Looks really great, but me and a good deal other people won't use if it isn't open-source.

Why? If you afraid to your data, can you use application without login.

How do you plan to deliver notifications ? Flarum would need some push notification system pre installed for that to work, right ?

I do not know yet, I was thinking about saving the last notifications in the local database and checking the current notifications from the server. This solution isn't good, because notifications will be checked from time to time, Notifications I will make in the future. (not now - now only showing in application (not outside))

michal0468 No, but if it's closed source I simply won't use it, because I can't review the source code. There is no reason for you not to make it open-source, unless you plan to add ads in which case I definitely wont use it.

michal0468 Won't that be something within a webview app scope ?

michal0468

TheMolecularLevel Ok, thank you for opinion.
I love open source, not only as user, but also developer (my latest open source project: https://github.com/itsMichael/foodie), but I don't like when someone exerts pressure on me.
I don't force you to develop programs on my rules, so please don't do the same.

P.S. tapatalk isn't open source, but users uses that.

TheMolecularLevel

michal0468 "exerts pressure"? I'm just saying that it would definitely be beneficial for the community, users and developers if the application is open-source, and you probably wont see that many people using it if it remains closed. Something else will fill the gap.

meetdilip I don't know, this is full native application ?

michal0468

TheMolecularLevel if you create open source application and share that, write to me ?
Thank you for opinion.

TheMolecularLevel

michal0468 Not loving the sass ?

michal0468

jordanjay29 yes, I use API.

michal0468

@TheMolecularLevel I've updated my license to GPL v3 and I've released my code in Github. https://github.com/itsMichael/flarumapp
You can see and develop code ?

Looks promising, is it ready for use? Do you have the apk sample?

HabilMemmedoff

michal0468 change file?

Arkinn

Do you know what android versions this supports from and to?
I like the name of the client! ?

Ralkage

Arkinn Android 7.1 (using API Level 25) as of the current code ?

Ralkage how did you compile this? Looks like I'm missing the sqlite database and it crashes when it loads or (if i disable the loading function) when it saves the list of websites
