The linux client is *almost* there (CCing wcauchois who was working on it, and
I also *just* got a bluetooth
adapter for my linux machine so I can also work on it :) ).
About multi-platform, I considered making a java client, but so many things are
fundamentally different that it'd
end up being 3 different apps in one - how to show notifications is different
(Growl vs Growl for Windows or
System Tray vs Gnome over dbus), how to store preferences is different (mac
preferences vs registry vs gconf),
muting audio and clipboard copying are completely platform dependent, bluetooth
is very different (though I
think for this specific one there's a portable library), etc.

Hi Chad,
I'm working on the Linux client, but as I am also in school somethings things
are
slow going -- I'm sure you understand ;).
I'm assuming your email address is just curvinphone [at] gmail.com? I'd like to
contact you once development has progressed a little bit more, and I'm sure we
could
use your help testing the software!
Thanks,
Bill

Hello there, I'd just like to know if there's any windows and/or linux desktop
beta, 'cause I'd like to test your application and to report you the bugs. It
seems
very interesting and it would be great if you could make it work.
Thanks and good luck with this project that does not seems to be a piece of
cake...

Hi areicko!
Consider yourself added to the beta testing list :). The Linux port isn't ready
for
beta yet, but we're getting there... and I'll be sure to let you know.
We are not currently developing a Windows port, but we'd like to have one in
the
future (if we can find someone willing to work on it)!

Excellent! Yes, that is indeed my email address. Once we have the Linux
client I
might make a project out of seeing how I might port it to something on Windows
(even
if it's just cygwin or something like that :D)
Thanks!

Just wanted to volunteer for the linux beta also, been anxious to contribute
to this since I saw the app on the market a while back.

Since I see no reason not to promote, say, desktop-side scripting, I'm offering
up a python script I threw together this afternoon for this purpose.
http://web.hackorp.com/~jalonso/android_notifier.py
It depends on python-bluez to get data and python-notify to send notifications
to the screen. It's ugly, but it's quite workable.
I'm releasing it GPLv3.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi, I've created a java desktop client that should work at least on windows and
linux (I don't have a mac to test it). The notification balloons are drawn
using Java Swing, they are not too pretty on linux (tested on Linux Mint 9) but
an implementation using SWT should fix it easily.
Here is the source code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1401233/MultiDroidNotifier.zip
Here is a binary:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1401233/android-notifier-desktop-0.1-SNAPSHOT-assembly.z
ip
You should be able to run this binary simply by double-clicking
android-desktop-notifier.jar or typing "java -jar android-notifier-desktop.jar"
in console.
Java 6 is required to run this.

I've set up a project for the multi-platform client here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/
Feel free to use it whatever you like and please provide some feedback!

Nothing personal, but *ugh* Java VM.

It's java but uses SWT so the interface is drawn natively. No swing ugliness.

I've just uploaded version 0.2 of android-notifier-desktop with support for
Windows installers, Linux deb packages and MacOS dmg images.

A home do projeto diz que suporte a windows vai estar disponível se alguém
resolver implementar. O android-notifier-desktop é multiplataforma e agora tem
até instalador no Windows. O dono desse projeto não vai comentar nada nessa
issue? Não dá pra atualizar a home falando do cliente multiplataforma? Um
linkizinho?

O dono desse projeto tem emprego e família, e pede desculpas por não
conseguir responder tudo rapidamente :)
(back to English)
I definitely want to support the multi-platform client. What do you think it'd
take to bring it to feature parity with the mac one? (e.g. adding support for
commands, having it sit on the mac menu bar / system tray / gnome panel, etc.)
I'll definitely link to it from the project page.

Thanks. The app already sits on the system tray, about commands, I was thinking
the user could use something like
http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/displays/scripty but I don't know exactly
what are the use cases for this.
Growl support on mac is not very good because there is not too many libraries
for integration with it, but I'll see what I can do.

Those are not the commands I'm talking about - I'm talking about this:

Oh, these commands would be new menu items like About and Preferences? Maybe
send a reply if the user clicks the notification balloon of a sms message?
Original comment by lehph...@gmail.com

Yes, that's the idea - you can start a phone call, send an sms, etc. from the
menu, and I'm also planning responses to clicking on notifications, like
answering a phone call, replying to the SMS, etc. I've just started the
implementation, but it's looking good :)

Cool, I will start implementing the protocol.
Original comment by lehph...@gmail.com
on 1 Sep 2010 at 7:11
Please hold - it's not fully implemented on the Android side yet, and there's
always the chance that I'll hit some road block (=design flaw) that may require
changing the protocol. In a few more days I should be able to give you
something that works over bluetooth, at least :)

You could use growlnotify, the command line tool if you can't use a library.
Original comment by lahdekorpi
on 2 Sep 2010 at 6:42
Assuming this doc http://growl.info/extras.php#growlnotify is up to date,
growlnotify doesn't support callbacks. It'll be necessary if we want to reply
sms messages clicking on growl notifications. Worse yet, neither libgrowl nor
jgrowl support notification callback, so it'll be a bit harder to implement
this.
