Anyone know a ftp server or any other protocol, that you can share a direct link to the file? Awesome if they already generate the qrcode. If not it's ok too.
I know that can be made manually: I start the server, browse in my own files through ftp, grab the link, make a qrcode to this link and them show to the other android. A very long history.
The perfect history is: 'share to' > that-app-Im-searching (they start the ftp server and generate the qrcode) > show the code to the other Android. After the transfer I can manually stop the ftp server or they auto disable when the connection is closed.
My idea is use WiFi (tether or direct) to *push/beam* files to the other phone, like Bluetooth, but faster, without NFC enabled phones or proprietary WiFi share app from Samsung, that not work/have in mostly other phones.

Hi There!
I am trying to locate something I can run on my tablet, phone and PC that I can copy and paste urls, pictures, etc, and instantly have it available on my other devices.
Kind of like a shared live clipboard, that can be set to only sync via WiFi (or 3G).
Thanks.
Dropbox can do this. I don't know about URLs but I think it might support it.
So I'm looking for an android app that will let me upload pictures to a remote FTP server automatically, not necessarily sync with the phone but just upload the pictures and skip any that are of the same file name; this is not so hard to find.
But also (preferably in the same app) I need to be able to view the pictures on said FTP remotely and in a nice smooth way, perhaps some kind of forward buffer so that you can do a gallery.
Finally, I need to be able to view the pictures on the FTP server (and again, if in the same app - awesome!) and multi-select some of them to download back to the device.
Does anyone know if something like this exists? I want to avoid things like Picasa as I am concerned about security and I know my FTP server is in my house; not in 'the cloud'.
As a side thought:
Alternatively, I could store them on a remote FTP server where I have unlimited storage space but security is the issue here, I'd need to password protect and possible protect by using something to make sure only certain devices could access the files. But then, I need to be able to view it on my android phone; perhaps an HTML5 application could do this effectively.... I'd prefer to use an app though for viewing.
Although it is quite late, I just passed by and see that I have same problem as you before. And I use "SyncMe Wireless" to solve this problem. It's very fast (than cloud sync), and easy to use. Try it.
Hi ,
Ineed to create a location update programm which updates my location and send to the latest updated ocationally other named one's which has same application.Can anyway one give me suggestions for this
You don't need a fancy app, only two buttons: "check the GPS status" (to activate it if necesary) and "Install the service".
The services are much like alerts. When a time counter reaches certain time (defined by you), executes a small piece of code, so you can use it to get your current location and send it (or even, if you preffer, activate the GPS, get the location, and turn off the GPS to save battery).
Now, send the location to other device can be a bit difficult. I have no idea how to do it directly, but you can use a server as bridge (any FTP server should work, or even dropbox using the dropbox api for android). This way, you'll need to login into the server (both apps). Your first app uploads the location to the server, and the second app downloads the file and shows it to the user.
To update the location in the second app, you can use simply an Update button, or set up a service aswell.
I got this crazy idea that I don't know is possible or not... what I want to do is set up my phone as wifi access point, then allow people to connect to it, but handle all incoming http traffic myself.
So:
Create a server (with KWS - Android web server)
client can connect to the phone
when client tries to open an http connection to any random server, this has to be intercepted by my app and handled by a local web server
Anyone knows any android app to do this ?
What you are talking about is a captive portal.
I made a simple app for this purpose. If you are a developer, I need your help to improve the app. For downloading the app and source code check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-setup-fake-captive-portal-android-t4011689
I have an issue which I can't even start to solve after hours of researching. I need to use GCM to facilitate peer to peer file transfer (JPEG image of circa 1.5 megabytes in file size to be specific).
Client A opens a socket and uses AirBOP to notify client B that it wants to send a picture and gives B relevant information (IP address + port to use, ephemeral I guess). B then connects to A and downloads the picture. All this behind NAT and via 3G/4G if at all possible. No server involved.
I looked into TTorrent, Snark, Cling, NAT hole punching, PWnat etc. but I still don't know how to achieve the above, and if it is possible at all..
This is a developer question but I'm restricted to General. I'm looking for a road map/guide lines/library/existing tutorials/projects on solving the above problem.
Thank you.
