Nice app… have you ever considered open sourcing it?

    Hi Jan,
    
    I’m really enjoying the updates to the app. Any progress on open sourcing it?

Very nice app, I too am interested in you open sourcing it.

Great turnover on versions!

Hey, great work as usual. I’m glad the chart finally work for my phone– except for 1 thing… Going to the landscape (horizontal) view while viewing the chart, the screen either goes blank or it force closes. I sent you a bug report after the force close.

  ok this is weird. It worked now normally WITH landscape for some reason this time. However I still got a force close and also sometimes get a Session Error… Go figure!

    Okay. The graph needs to be automatically refreshed every time, including orientation changes…
    
    Hitting “refresh” when the screen is blank makes it appear as normal. Regardless or orientation.

Recently got myself a shiny VPS at Linode, was delighted to see the API and this app. One thing’s not working for me right now, though: user/pass auth. App just tells me “Authentication failed”, while I’m quite sure that I got the credentials right. Is there some known bug in the app, or might it be that the interface changed on the Linode side?

  Hi Dominic,
  
  it’s work fine for me.
  
  Do you can login with this credentials in Linode Members ? https://www.linode.com/members/
  
  Also, you can do authentication with API Key. API keys can be regenerated on the user’s My Profile (https://www.linode.com/members/profile/) page at any time.
  
  Thank you.

    Apologies for taking so long to respond. I know about the API key, but the app tells me I need user/pass login for some things which is not entirely surprising. And yes, the user/pass works on the site – or at least I thought it did. I just noticed that the password field in the app has a maximum length of 16 characters, which is shorter than my password. As a result it wasn’t my password, but a truncated version of it that was sent to the server.
    
    Thanks for your time, and I hope you can lift this limit.

Jan –

Do you have a timeline for the release of the source for the application? Is there a github repo for it, or the like? Thanks in advance.

great app, may i ask if it transmits any data unencrypted? the closed source nature of the app makes me hesitant to use it. but a great resource nevertheless 🙂

  Hi bede,
  
  This application is based at Linode API (www.linode.com/api), so all traffics are in HTTPS.
  
  Thank you.

I’m getting a linode VPS soon and having heard about this app I was pleased to see I wouldn’t have to put time into developing my own android linode manager, however I checked android market today (30/11/10, from the UK) and it’s not there even though apparently the last version was released just 9 days ago.

Has the app been removed from android market in the last 9 days? is it limited to certain countries, excluding the UK, within android market? Or something else?

  Hi There,
  
  Thank you for your contact.
  
  I think it’s related with the new Content Rating on Android Market.
  
  I updated the Content Rating information on Android Market, please try again!
  
  Thanks.

    Thanks for looking into it however it still doesn’t show under android market UK for me.
    
    0 results for “linode”, 11 for “node”, none of which are this app. Checked from a HTC Wildfire (android 2.1)

    Hi Jan
    
    Now I understand: the app isn’t compatible with my phone (HTC Wildfire, android 2.2) and the market on the phone doesn’t show it at all. Pity.
    
    Thank you for checking

I’m having trouble logging in with the app. I’m using a linode API key that works fine when I directly access the Linode API. I’m getting the following error message: “Sorry, no donuts for you! Error: 1001 – CONNECTION_ERROR Message: Illegal character in query at index 31: https://api.linode.com?api_key=SP1UHmU5nvfzJvPKADuTS4ZoqeU3eDuVLnpi2rTsNTuNDNm6tKXBACMrdElBDVju&api_action=test.echo” right after adding the account and touching it from the account list.

Obviously, I have replaced the api_key here with an identical length random string. I believe the problem is a missing ‘/’ in the URL: “https://api.linode.com?api_key=” should be “https://api.linode.com/?api_key=”

  Hi Mattew,
  
  Make sure you don’t have any space or line break at API Key and test again.
  I’ll prevent this situation in the next release.
  
  Thank you.

Hi, is there any update on open sourcing the app? Recently installed the app and found that none of the graphs work because they’re trying to access the wrong URL. It would be great to be able to have an updated version that works nicer on tablets too.

Thanks

Is there any way to remove ads? Paid version would be fine

Reply
Chris Hogan · August 14, 2013 at 12:33 pm ·

I’ve installed this on my HTC, very nice. Again like some people I’d be happy to buy a version without ads. One thing is that I cannot get the graphs to display, it gives a connection error saying it cannot validate the certificate
