MaharaDroid 1.7
20 July 2011, 23:12
I have a HTC Desire with Android 2.3.3
Turns out that after I rebooted the phone the photos and videos magically appeard on the phone. I never had to reboot before. I learned that turning off and rebooting a phone are two different things. Thanks for checking

Dirk,
I am using an HTC Desire with Android 2.2 and it doesn't delete the phot after upload.
Maybe the software version?

Yes, it could be as its still happening but not a big deal.
On another note, I recently enabled SSL on my site and Maharadroid does not connect anymore. This is probably not implemented yet??

Hi Dirk,
I must confess HTTPS is untested - so thanks for giving that a go. Reviewing the code there are some crude assumptions regarding ports - HTTP is registered to 80 and HTTPS 443 .. so just defaults at this stage (I will improve in due course and should test on non-standard ports for completeness). That said in theory HTTPS should be supported. I take it you changed the Upload URI to https:// ... etc?
I would't be surprised if it does not work if there are any cert warnings, etc (the HTTP libraries tend to be fussy out of the box). I will do some debugging.
Cheers,
Alan

What was the verdict on HTTPS working in your app? I figure if you use certificates to protect the HTTP connection you could do some basic stuff based on the mobile token. I'd have thought in principle that - if you have a fully correct properly signed certificate, an app should be able to say 'ok this certificate is good, proceed'.

Hi David,
Sorry - have not yet had a chance to look into this. Will update this thread when I have.

Hi David,
Some quick testing reveals MaharaDroid supports:
a) HTTP on any port (the default port is specifie at 80 my misunderstanding - not hard wired as I previously mentioned) .. i.e.
i) add a Listen 8000 in your port.conf on apache2
ii) change your virtual host setting to handle *:8000
iii) change your MaharaDroid URL to include :8000 and away you go .. no issues
b) HTTPs is suported .. but when testing I get an error: "No peer certificate"
Here in my testing I'm using some default certs from base apache2 install so a bit more work may be required here (some debugging to review at least). A quick search finds me others that have solved it ..

That said, if you are using a good trusted cert - 'it should work' .. I'll keep debugging my test one and then hopefully can run some tests on a demo https instance to confirm.
Cheers,

Hello
I have tested MaharaDroid 1.8 (using Mahara 1.4 connected with Moodle via mnet/sso)
But when i try to upload an artefact, i have the error msg "Sending failed: Value <!DOCTYPE of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject" ?
Do you have any idea what could be the issue ?
Thanks for your help,
Emilie

Hi Emilie,
It sounds like you are getting a non-JSON response from the upload request (i.e. there is an error). Mahara pages default (I believe) to start with a DOCTYPE line such as:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" ...
So this might explain the error message (that said we should trap that in the app and display an appropriate response). The JSON output should not have that string - it should just be JSON (see below). Can you please double check your settings, especially the site URLs / paths are correct. Check also what you get when you try to go directly to the page:
http://<your mahara install>/artefact/file/mobileupload.php
I see the (with a Content-Type: application/json header):
{"fail":"Auth token cannot be blank"}
I see that you are using mnet/sso which may be complicating things (I'm not familiar with this). If anyone else can assist who is familiar / can confirm / deny this is supported with the app that would be great.
Cheers,
Alan

Hi Alan
Thanks a lot for your answer
I have double checked my urls/paths, they're all correct
I also checked my url: http://vfoadtest.unicaen.fr/livret/mahara/artefact/file/mobileupload.php
I get the same message: {"fail":"Auth token cannot be blank"}
Does anyone also faced the same issue (non-JSON response) ?
Thanks
Cheers
Emilie
