Create Android app for administering BX-bot

[gazbert]

Create iOS app for administering the bot.

iOS devices will use the REST API provided by bxbot-ui-server:
https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui-server

This work will be done in a new GitHub project.

I may be able to have a look at this at some point, unless you've already got Boy on the case.

Get stuck in! I've only been tinkering until now.

I'm hacking at the REST API at the mo - still early days, but the endpoints for configuring the bot are starting to firm up.

I guess you could start knocking out the base 'droid app for now and wire up the REST API when I get my backside into gear ;-)

Alright cool, well I'm hopping off to Australia for a bit anyway, so perhaps when I get back :-D

Hi I can help for Android.
Let me know if this is still open.

[gazbert]

Hi @dudhatparesh - thanks for the offer, yes this is still open, go for it!

The REST API that the devices/Web UI will consume is not stable yet - #58 - I'm still evolving the design etc... but authentication will be done using JWT/TLS and I'd say the REST API defined in https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui-server is about 80% there...

If we could get an android app working (even without JWT/TLS) to the same level of functionality as https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui, that would be awesome!

There is a placeholder project already setup - https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-android - feel free to fork this.

No rush for any of this, just code away whenever you get a chance... ;-)

My priorities are to add a Settings screen to https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui to configure multiple bots, and then get it working e2e with https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui-server and https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot using JWT/TLS - the Runtime screen to stop/start/view logs will come later.

I'll assign the ticket to you.

Closing. No progress been made.
Will build React Native app instead - #102
