Design an interactive source control application that works between an android phone and a project

located on a remote server.

• Allow client to create, edit, open, and save small source files. Allow other commands including

diffs.

• User chooses file to work with and server options (address, etc)

Use XML-RPC to send data over HTTP encoded as XML.• Simple and light-weight

• Works across different OS and environments• Supports complex data structures

• Call server methods from client (RPC)

Use android-xmlrpc library• Very thin• Simple

XMLRPCClient client = new XMLRPCClient("http://foo.bar.com");//Call the add server function with params 2 and 4int sum = (Integer) client.call("add", 2, 4);

Use Apache XML-RPC• Minimal• Simple

//Create WebServer at specified port numberWebServer webServer = new WebServer(8888);XmlRpcServer xmlRpcServer = webServer.getXmlRpcServer();//Create property mapping to Foo classPropertyHandlerMapping phm = new PropertyHandlerMapping();phm.addHandler("Foo", org.apache.xmlrpc.demo.Foo.class);//Set mappingxmlRpcServer.setHandlerMapping(phm);//Start WebServerwebServer.start();

• Phone with Android version 2.2

• Access to Project/SVN server

• Phone is connected to the Internet

• UI should be responsive• Server has to respond to client within reasonable

amount of time• If it is operating on a large program, give some

indication of progress

• Simple and intuitive client

• Server handles file errors and outputs meaningful error message

• Reliable source control operations

• Basic Android functionality• Server and Client talking

• Able to call server methods from client and get results

OctoberBe able to transmit objects (files) over

connectionHave server compile and run java file and

pipe outputHandle output at server and report it to

client

November-DecemberHook SVN/project software to server

programAllow user to create program client side

using text editorWrite documentationFix bugs Implement syntax highlighting and other

extra features if time permits
