@ Man Sang, i know that in order to clear the Method call failed the API Authentication error, I will need an OAuth plugin, or some other sort of authentication handler. When i tried to use for example Justin Richer, OAuth 1.0. with your web service plugin, i realized your web service plugin has some conflict functions with OAuth 1.0  https://elgg.org/plugins/385119/releases/0.10.5 and even the elgg OAuth plugin https://github.com/Elgg/oauth_api  hence when the any of this two OAuth and oauth_api plugin are activated, the results is a  white page during plugin activation.

What time of OAuth plugin are you using with the web-service plugin?

@Thomasondiba All these plugins are deprecated. Use Elgg bundled web service.

And which your goal? Which Elgg version?

UPD: Or you just testing the above app?

@ RvR, thanks for your concern. My goal is just trying to test the plugin Elgg Api Authentication  with the plugin codes that Man Sang uses to run the Elgg Android App.

I am currently testing the Elgg Android App with Elgg Version 1.8.19

OK, nevermind and good luck with it ;)

anyone got any updates on this app? does anyone have a fully working elgg app for phones?

Hi everyone, I got some new instruction and an update version for 1.10 elgg.

Here is a link to a pdf and github

is there a need to install your fork of elgg to get your app to work?

It's mentioned that for the configuration of the android app we have to do the following:

On first time running the app, click on the gear icon, then enter the site address and the public api key from step 10. Then go back to the login screen and login to the app.

So I have to share the public key with my user as well. Now this will be a hectic job. first install the app, then install the public key and then login. Wouldn't it be great if you can built something that will automatically add the website url and publick key and then generate the apk file. So that the admin only have to share the apk file with the user.

No, all you need is the to replace the web_services in the mod folder from the project. The apiadmin and tidypics is the only other two plugin that is require. You can copy those two folder or get it from the plugin from the elgg site.

Yes, Rohit, the site url and api can be build into the apk and let you shared the apk with your user. The problem with this way is those app will not get the new update from google play store. I will try to find another easier way to handle it.  Thanks for the feedback.
