I got my first modern Android phone at the end of last week and I figured it would be a good idea to get over the activation energy hump so it’s easy to do incremental mozilla hacking on it.\u00a0 Thanks to a lot of work by other people, this turned out to be pretty easy.\u00a0 It would have been even easier if the Android emulator ran at anything remotely close to real time or if my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Bell Canada model) running 2.1 did not have a habit of locking up all the time.\u00a0 (And this is before my code touched it, mind you.\u00a0 I’m half-hoping my device is a lemon.\u00a0 If anyone knows how to tell a lemon from lockups-as-usual, please let me know.)<\/p>\n
The screenshot shows my Android device running the app.\u00a0 It’s a super trivial wmsy UI showing contacts from my address book pulled down from a weave server that were put there by Thunderbird.<\/p>\n
Anywho, props to:<\/p>\n
The relevant repos for those interested, are:<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that the goal is not actually to perform contact synchronization with Android.\u00a0 There are already a ton of ways to synchronize your Thunderbird contacts with gmail and from there your phone.\u00a0 The goal is to let other interesting data and meta-data propagate.\u00a0 I just picked contacts for this example because Shane already had the data propagating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
