[Commotion-dev] SPAN Android App

[Hans of Guardian]

Hey there,

I just saw that you posted the SPAN sources, thanks to Teco Boot's post to the olsr-dev list.  It looks like there is a lot of overlap between the SPAN project, and the Commotion project, specifically olsrd on Android, and its issues.  We're also working with Serval as well and are looking to get some more code sharing going on.  To start with, an android ad-hoc framework to encapsulate all the tricks needed to enable adhoc mode for various devices.

If you're interested in trying the Commotion MeshTether app, you can get a test build here:

and the source is here:

In related news, you'll probably be happy to hear that we've been working with some Google engineers on their 20% time to get adhoc support into Android.  The patch is been submitted to the Android gerrit, has been verified by their automated builder, and is just waiting for final approval from the Android dev:
