I have something that I think should deal with +the [[Android_app_permission_denial_on_startup]] problem. Added a "Open +WebApp" item to the terminal's menu, which should behave as advertised. +This is available in the Android daily build now, if your device has that +problem. + +I was not able to get the escape sequence hack to work. I had no difficulty +modifying the terminal to send an intent to open an url when it received a +custom escape sequence. But sending the intent just seemed to lock up the +terminal for a minute without doing anything. No idea why. I had to propigate a +context object in to the terminal emulator through several layers of objects. +Perhaps that doesn't really work despite what I [read on stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9051849/opening-a-link-in-the-browser/9052208#9052208). + +Anyway, that's all I have time to do. It would be nice if I, or some other +interested developer who is more comfortable with Java, could write a custom +Android frontend app, that embedded a web browser widget for the webapp, +rather than abusing the terminal this way. OTOH, this way does provide the +bonus of a pretty good terminal and git shell environment for Android to go +with git-annex. -- cgit v1.2.3
