NodeBB Android App
-
@Carlos-Carcamo please read my previous replies. This app has no top bar...
Please re-download the source code from GitHub and compile the app again.@a_5mith I think more people will feel comfortable with a solution with UI. Additionally they didn't reworked the push delivery system.

Thank you for your response, how can I add progress bar when one link or page is loading?
-
This thread is old. XD

Will it still work, nonetheless ?
-
@Gaurav-Grv-Robinson yes, yes and yes.
It doesn't matters which NodeBB version you use. This app is a "browser" opening your site. -
is Notification working on phone with this app using "nodebb-plugin-desktop-notifications"?

I believe it might be possible to have notifications working, I don't know if using GCM (Google Cloud Messaging).
What I understood is that I would need the server to send something to GCM and it would return it to the app, I don't know if there is a more direct way (without GCM) -
Alright, as some people approached me I was thinking to release a third version of the app.
Sure its the same old webview, but it got faster. Way faster.
Everyone who is interested in an updated version (added OneSignal support as well), should hit me up.

@AOKP very nice! I'd like to get on the bandwagon here.
I tried building a webview app for NodeBB as well but it got declined when I tried to publish to Google Play. They considered it a SPAM app with intent to solicit clicks to sites not belonging to me.
I feel there's a lot of potential with building an app that is more than just a webview as I've started mine to include a bottom bar navigation as well. The buttons interact with NodeBB via javascript.
Here's a screenshot:

Time to answer some questions.
@soupain I will disclose the full source code. Therefore it will be possible for you to build your own app with ease.
@Chanrith nice approach, however I am too lazy to do the same. I would greatly appreciate it, if you feel like sharing your code with us. And about your issue with the submission to Google Play: Get in touch with Google and offer them to add a TXT DNS record or any other documents proving your domain ownership. Usually this should be more than enough for them.
Currently I am in a stressful time as my final exams are to be written soon. However, I think I should be able to dedicate enough time.
@julian want to re-add the app to your plans?

Bumping this, today I found time to make a couple of changes to the app.
Updated all the dependencies and libraries. Additionally I successfully integrated OneSignal. Down below you can see an example how it looks like:

The updated code will go online in a couple of minutes.
The docs explain how to compile the app on your own, if you are still too lazy you can acquire a compiled version for your needs for a small fee.Please continue discussion here:
