Hi!
Does anyone know if there is a service that would allow me to control my android device by sending requests to it?
I am looking for something that could launch an app, or trigger Tasker or IFTTT via my local network?
Best wishes,
LM
Did you ever find a way to do this?

Hi guys,
I'm searching for a possibility to establish a VPN connection with just one click. Some kind of widget would be great. Even greater it would be, if I can tell Tasker to establish a VPN connection, if I'm connected to a specific wifi network.
Maybe someone can give me an advice in this issue.
Thanks in advance

I've the same question... somebody know how to establish vpn-connection with tasker (Samsung Galaxy S3). I use the build-in vpn.
With VPNCilla it should work but then I get always a message to "trust the app".
Or somebody knows a widget that i can start the buildin vpn with one klick?
Hi,
The author of OpenVPN for Android has extended his App to allow 3rd party applications remote control of the VPN. Ffrog Apps has written a Tasker plugin to use this remote control: 'OpenVPN Tasker Plugin' try out the beta version search g+ for Ffrog Apps Beta Testing
Note: it requires at least version 0.6.37+ of the OpenVPN for Android app, which is only released as a beta at this stage - search g+ for OpenVPN for Android
Unfortunately i can't post direct links to xda.

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
Hi. I'm glad to finally be here.
Let me explain the context of my question. I'm designing an application in Android that works consuming a web service. For all inquiries carried out to that web service, you must authenticate to each perform.:silly:
I tried to use SSL certificates for greater security, but at the moment it is too advanced for me just knowing how to create a certificate, then install it on the server and on the client and the connection between them that way (If anyone has a tutorial will be welcome).
For now, I managed to connect via http without any protection. To authenticate the device that performs, IMEI shipping plus a random password (created in the registry).
Well, my question is whether this is an acceptable way or is there more optimal way that take care information that those using the app.
Thank you very much for your help, since I have no one else to turn.
Hi.
I am new to Android and am looking to solve a problem.
I want to create an Android app that has a login and that you can send messages back and forth with the people who use that app. Similar to the Facebook Messenger App. Also similar to Facebook, I want to users to be able to log in via a web-app in their browsers and view/exchange messages.
My idea was MySQL as the database that stores all of this information. The website will then be made with a PHP framework to access that MySQL data and similarly, I was thinking the Android App would read/write to that same MySQL Database.
I already proto-typed this and was able to create an android app that posts data to a process.php file I have sitting on a web server which then queries the MySQL database, and returns a JSON object back to the Android App for consumption. I followed this guide from Stack Overflow to accomplish this and it worked good. I also searched these forums and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325799 which seems to sort of do things the same way.
My question is:
1) Is this the right way to do things for an app I want to scale to 10,000 users? I want to ask the more experienced developers if this is how they would go about creating such an app. Is there a better way besides what I described? I am a noobie so this was the best way I could come up with from searching the internet.
Much Love,
