This is a place holder for Sopht's Android development.

Currently, we have 2 android projects: Queueing and MailWidget.

MailWidget

Version 2.2

This is a new upcomming version of MailWidget.  Currently, it will only work with a version of K9 that adds a message provider.  The revision that contains the code is r2223.  Please test the version and report findings in issue 1623.  Here is a screen shot of the applet:

Version 1.4

Small bug correction that rarely renders the widget non responsive.

Version 1.3

MailWidget-1.3.apk

Version 1.2

After a few comments and a few observations from me on the performance of HTC Sense UI, this is the changelog for version 1.2:

• Changed the date and time formats so that it reads the formats from your system preferences (Thanks Bao-Long for the suggestion!)
• Changed some code so that useless warnings aren't reported anymore (Thanks again Bao-Long!)
• Responds faster on HTC's Sense UI, please read more below
• Should fix the "squished" look on the Tattoo (hopefully)

Here is the link for the apk:

NOTE on HTC's Sense UI

As some have noted, MailWidget is slow to react on the Sense UI.  This is particularly true when switching to the screen where the widget is located.  One part, I solved with a revamp of the code, the other part, I can't do anything about it.  The problem is that the Sense UI is very aggressive at disabling widgets.  Background updates AREN'T refelected on the screen until you switch to that screen.  So how long is this delay?  About 1 or 2 seconds.  Want to see it in action?  Put the HTC music widget on a screen, start a song and switch to another screen.  Put your cell in sleep and wait for a change in songs.  When a new song is playing, open your cell and switch to the screen where the widget is.  See how long it takes to refresh it?  This is what an HTC widget does!  Imagine a standard android widget!  This explains why on HTC's Sense UI, MailWidget takes about 1-2 seconds to respond to a click if you click on it RIGHT after switching to the screen. Subsequent clicks react normally.

Version 1.1

MailWidget is a small widget that works with K9Mail.  It listens for incomming email intents sent by K9Mail and displays the from and subject of the newly received emails in a widget.  Click on the email info to open the email in K9Mail.  The version 1.1 will also listen to a DELETE intent from K9Mail.  This will enable the widget to try to keep in sync with the K9Mail inboxes.  Please note that the DELETE intent isn't yet implemented in K9 (should be released as part of K9 2.2).  Here is a list of changes for the 1.1 version:

• 2 x 2 widget size!
• Revamped look
• Should work on everything from the HTC Tattoo to the Motorola Droid (Thanks Jeff for the heads up!)
  
• All data stored in database.  This means that data will survive a crash / restart / android closure of the widget.  To clear the database, simply destroy the widget from the desktop and add a new one.
  
• Listens for DELETE intents to ensure that it only keeps emails that are in K9
• Multi Language supported (i.e. labels can be in English, French or Chinese)
• Added account and date as displayed fields
• Added a 1 of x email counter
• K9 Mail 2.3 ready!

This is the APK for version 1.1:

MailWidget-1.1-aligned.apk

Here are screenshots of the upcoming 1.1 version:

The widget ONLY works with K9Mail.

Version 1.0

Here is a screenshot of the application:

This is the APK for version 1.0:

MailWidget.apk

This should be considered beta at this stage.

Queueing

 Small application to estimate utilization of server and probability of requests waiting given number of queues, number of CPUs (servers per queue), Service time of 1 request, arrival rate of requests.  This will also calculate the arrival rate at 75% utilisation (typical max utilization for servers).
