Re: [mono-android] Activation without internet??

[Danny Pronk]

Hi Craig,

I was just 'following' your thread on the activation without internet of
monodroid,
And what you descibe in your last message (below) rang a bell for me. From
what I read in your last message I have concluded the following :

1. Your enterprise enviroment (computers) is a part of a Windows Domain with
Windows Users.
2. When you disconnect the computers from the domain and try to write some
'critical' info (in this case the license file) the user logged on doesn't
have sufficient privileges to actually make this alteration to the registry
or specific directory.
I have had the same kind of problems with a 'disconnected' domain computer
while being logged on as a windows domain user (normal user). Based on this
I did a first try by making the windows domain user part of the local
computers administrator-group (or at least assign this user that role).
However that didn't help me out at all, the results where still the same.
Finally I managed to get full-access/rights on this disconnected computer by
doing the following :

Step 1. 
I log on to the computer as a domain administrator (with full rights).
Step 2. 
I assigned this administrator user also local management rights (so added
this administrator user also to the local computer administrator group)
Step 3. 
While still being logged on to the domain i disconnected from the enterprise
network (aka remove the network cable) and plugged the computer into a
direct outside internet connection (in your case that 3G dongle)
Step 4.
Then i did my action that needed these elevated rights ! And NOW it worked.

This has all to do with the way windows is dealing with the Group Policies
and Local Policies if a computer is part of a windows domain.

Please let me know if this kind of helped you.

As a side note, the fact that the license failed after rebooting and/or
restarting VS is related to the fact that once you are again on the domain
with the machine, it will most likely take the 'roaming' profile from the
domain server.

Regards

Danny

PS) After activation, please without logging off, reconnect to the windows
domain (aka switching the network connections back) and THEN log off, so the
actual profile of the machine is also stored on the domain server, aswell as
making a full backup of the license file (and / or the MonoDroid and
MonoDevelop directories)  (which is machine bound and the registry) this way
if this registry and these directories get bumped/lost, you can just restore
those files and settings.

:'-(

don't tell our infrastructure team, but i did just that on two PCs.
disconnect corp.net   and use a 3G USB hotspot.

PC#1 - still doesn't Activate. Press "Activate" button - cursor spins -
times out. No response/error message/log info.
PC#2 - does Activate! Seems successful... until you restart VS and the
'activation' hasn't stuck - only works for that 'session'. License
file-write must be failing??

[mono-android] OnTouchEvent missing View parameter in Monodroid

[Narcís Calvet]

Hello,

 

I wonder why OnTouchEvent in Mono for Android doesn't have the View argument
OnTouch has in Android for Java?

 

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.OnTouchListener.htm
l 

 

How can I get the view that's firing the event?

 

I'm trying to do something as the drag and zooming examples here:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/how-to-use-multi-touch-in-android-2-part-
5-implementing-the-drag-gesture/1789 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Best Regards,

Narcís Calvet

[mono-android] Beta testers for my app

[Liam]

Hi everyone

I have created my first Android application as part of studying for my 
degree. I was required to do a project for a real client. The company 
who I am doing my project for wanted me to do an Android application. 
Because the company is .Net based they decided to go the MonoDroid/Touch 
route.

The application is called "Crash" and is used to gather information when 
you have a motor vehicle accident so that you have accurate information 
on hand when you need to make insurance claims.

I am required to get some users to test the application (at least 5) and 
fill out a feedback form. The feedback form is small. Should only take 2 
mins to fill out.

The application can only be used on phones running Android version 2.2 
and up.

I don't know many people with Android phones so I thought that I would 
try here to get some users to test my app. If anyone is interested in 
trying out my app and wouldn't mind giving some feedback it would be a 
great help.

The application can be downloaded from the market either by searching 
for "Techcertain" or by going to this link 
https://market.android.com/details?id=crash.crashapp

The link for the feedback form is
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDF5R2tlS2F0NHRjRmZXOEx3Q0hlblE6MQ

I am also working on a user manual which can be downloaded from here

Thanks
Liam
