[APP][2.2+]SambaDroid 2.1.0

[Lizard]

I'd like to have the user configurable, accessing the server as root isn't the way to go.
(Unless this 'root' user is only for internal samba use and not global.

 

[andrewilley]

I'm at work at the moment, but it has installed on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (ICS) and let me change the settings OK. (On which subject I assume whitelists will be supported in some future version by the way?).

However when I turned the tablet's wi-fi off, and launched the app again to see if it had been disabled correctly, the tablet froze on the app homepage (which was basically blank). I've had to do a long-press on the power button to force a reboot. The tablet has rebooted, but the app does not seem to have auto-restarted, even when my work wi-fi connected. I tried launching the app again (with wi-fi off) and it again froze the tablet again with the "SambaDroid" title in the top left, but nothing else visible from the app. If I launch the app with wi-fi on, it launches correctly.

I'm a bit puzzled by the Netbios name vs Server String incidentally. I assume Netbios is the name under which the device will appear on the Windows network? So what's Server String?

Oh, and the tiny 'Log' button is right above (and far too close to) an advert, which needs to be moved to avoid accidental presses on the ad.

This root is definitely samba internal user name, but i am sure (hope so at least...) berserker is gonna make the username configurable as this makes the configuration on client side easier.

I also had a problem starting the service at first, but after a reboot it started automatically...

Working great so far on my I9305, so a big thanks!

When you have time, could you please add support for the extSdCard as at the moment I can only see my internal card.

Also, how can I send the intents via Tasker? I have added the string to Send Intent/Action with Target set to broadcast receiver but cannot get it to work. I assume I am missing something as have not used Intents before, any advice welcome!

Thanks again!

How can I switch off the ads?
I do not tolerate any advertising apps on my phone.

Is there a pro version without ads planned or available that I can buy somewhere?

Another one:
I have checked the WiFi autostart but the service does not start (CM10 nightly from 01112012) at phone booting.

Now autostarting
I changed from SuperUser to SuperSU, this solved some problems with other apps too.

 

[tramp20]

Please can you try a file larger than 4gb?

I tried an ISO with 4.3 GB and copying stopped after 600 MB

Why are all files and directories (seen from Windows) marked as read only?
I cannot overwrite or delete these files even as administrator.

After starting the old Samba Filesharing Server all files/directories are now shown normal.

Thanks for the reply. I tried editing the settings, reinstalling and disable+enable wifi but still have the same type of errors.
Attached you can find some further screenshots including the contents of the folder you mentioned.

I noticed that on the first run it gives the error "cannot find a valid WiFi interface" as can be seen in the screenshot.

Thanks for your time and help!

That's the problem!
Please help me in solving this by:

• Paste/attach here the content of the file /system/build.prop
• Give me a link of the rom you are using so that I can download it
• Paste here the output of the command "netcfg" (this should really help): you can invoke the command from your PC with adb (adb shell netcfg) or from the a terminal emulator directly in the device.
  The output should be something like this:

 

[berserker_devel]

any chance we can have an option to auto-run the server @ boot ?
how about an on/off widget ?
any chance we can navigate to / and not just sdcard ?

Sure
As stated in the first post this is a "work in progress" and lots of options like these will be added soon but by now I have to prepare a quite "stable" version to be release on the Play Store (as you see there are some open bugs ).

I confirm that the user 'root' is only a "dummy" name by now (I plan to add multiusers support in the future).

Please forget the "Server String" option, I will probably remove that option in the next release.
Regarding the 'Log' issue I plan to make a Tab to distinguish the smbd/nmbd messages (this should solve the size problem).

I also had a problem starting the service at first, but after a reboot it started automatically...

Could you be so kind to reinstall the application and see you still have problems on the first startup?

The idea is to allow the user to configure as many shares as needed (it's on my TODO ).
I cannot help you with "Tasker" but you can test this functionality by running:
adb shell am broadcast -a berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.START
adb shell am broadcast -a berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.STOP

Is there a pro version without ads planned or available that I can buy somewhere?

Once the application will be available on the market, I'll support some in-app purchases to allow features like this: I already have experience in this (in particular with my game Drysic) so it should take not much work.

After testing on my home network, using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (generic Samsung ICS 4.0.4 upgrade, rooted) I found:

• With wi-fi on, the App starts and says the service is running. I've set a suitable Netbios share name within the app, and used my standard Windows Workgroup name (as used for my home network).
• The shared device does not appear in my Windows 7 Network view (where I do see my other Android ICS devices listed, which are both running the old Samba app).
• If I enter the direct IP address manually (e.g. typing \\192.168.1.211 into the path area) then I do get a login prompt, but I can't seem to get it to authenticate. I just get the standard Windows "network is not accesible / you might not have pemissions" message.
• I've tried with and without a password set within the App (using 'root' as the login username from Windows) and also tried disabling the App's password tickbox, but I always get the same Windows error message.
• If I turn the app off, as expected I no longer see a login prompt when I enter the IP address in Windows (so at least I know it's your app that's responding).

Should I be typing anything else into the IP address line (a path for example?)

Thanks a lot!

As I suspected the param "wifi.interface" isn't set in your build.prob file.
What's is not clear to me is that the netcfg command reports a "wlan0" interface and in this beta, if the "wifi.interface" property isn't set, I call this ugly function:

private String detectWifiInterface()
{
	String wifiInterface = null;
		
  	try 
  	{
		for(Enumeration<NetworkInterface> i = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); i.hasMoreElements();) 
		{
			wifiInterface = i.nextElement().getName();
			if(wifiInterface.toLowerCase().contains("wlan"))
				return wifiInterface;								
		}
	}
  	catch(Exception e) 
  	{

  	}
  		  		
  	return null;
}

that "should" have detected wlan0 but it seems that something didn't work...
I already replaced the above "horror" with something better (I hope), so please just wait a few days for the next beta ok?
Thanks again for your patience

Good to know... Already bought other great apps of yours...

Thanks :good:

 

[gsustech]

Sure I'll wait for the next beta...
I don't really have any other alternative apps for this functionality on my Android device at the moment!

Thanks a lot and let me know if you need anything else from my end to help you test or resolve any issues.

Ok so next "few days" has come
New beta on the first post (with small changes by now with the hope to fix this problems...), keep me updated

 

[mikpel]

Interesting concept and definitely worth a try.
I'm downloading it tomorrow when I have more time

I like your clock. I'll download the new one when I get home from work and see if it now saves the settings and connects correctly.

[Edit] I can say that the new beta version still completely locks up my tablet if I launch the app with wi-fi turned off or not currently connected to anything (tablet then needs a forced soft reset). Will let you know the other stuff later.

Password work perfect now.
When possible to change user will be perfect.
Thanks
Edit
It also works well from Android to Android, with samba filesharing thing that I had never managed to do.
