Great post Jay. Thanks very much for sharing.

Re: Installing and Configuring the Proxy Node

swift-ring-builder is included in the swift package (on Ubuntu Natty) so step 1 should probably be,

# apt-get install swift swift-proxy memcached

Congratulations John. Releasing anything is quite an achievement but releasing something this large is something else.

Without direct access to your phone it's very difficult to say. Have you tried rebooting your phone?

Hi George,

Your data is not gone. This is a known problem. Try restarting your
phone.If it's still not working recreate the shortcut to upm.

There's a full explaination on the blog post explaining the problem.

Let me know how you get on.

Hi Alfonso,

I had intended on answering questions here but it might be easier in the long run to keep everything on the Help Forum. I've posted your question and a repose over here, https://sourceforge.net/pro.... Could you have a look please.

No problem Alain.

First of all make sure you have Java installed. You didn't mention what distribution of Linux you're using. If you're running Ubuntu these instructions are pretty good, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/i....

Next you'll need to install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. These provide the JRE with full strength encryption. They're not included by default due to US export/import restrictions. For Java 6 they can be downloaded from this page, http://java.sun.com/javase/... (the last download link near the bottom of the page). The downloaded zip will contain a few files, the most important being local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar. These two files need to replace two with the same name located in your JRE's installation directory. This directory can be a bit tricky to locate on some Linux distros. On Ubuntu it will be something like /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre. The files you want to replace are in the directory <jre install="" dir="">/lib/security.

You're now ready to run UPM. You can do this one of two ways. You can right click the file upm.jar and select "Open with Sun Java6 Runtime" or you can start a command shell, go to the directory containing upm.jar and enter 'java -jar upm.jar'.

Let me know how it goes. I've only been able to test on the Emulator and HTC Hero so I'd be interested to know how it performs on other Android devices.

Sounds like a good idea David. I'll see what I can do.

Re: UPM 1.0 for Android

Adrian Smith — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:41:03 -0000

I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer on that David. The UPM application doesn't specify exactly what the timeout period is so it's down to the Android OS. The reason is that Android will only destroy an application when it needs that app's memory and the application isn't being actively used (i.e. the foreground application).

I'm hoping in the next version to make this a bit more predictable and even configurable as you request.

The database files are 100% compatible msturtz. I'll put the instructions here for anyone else who'd like to see them.

Here's how to copy your PC file to your phone.

1. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable.
2. On your phone go into Notifications and select "USB connected" (this will mount your phone's SD card as a drive on your PC).
3. Copy and rename your PC's UPM password db to the root of the mounted drive. Name it "upm.db".
4. Unmount the drive on your PC (right-click the drive and Eject on Windows)
5. Turn off the USB storage on your phone (Notifications -> Turn off USB storage)
6. Start UPM on your phone and enter your master password to open the current database.
7. Select Menu -> More -> Restore
8. When promoted to overwrite your existing db select Yes (assuming of course your want replace your phone's db with the one from your PC).

The upm.db file on your SD card will be copied into UPM's private storage area and opened. You'll be prompted for you master password as usual.

Similar steps can be followed to copy the db on your phone to your PC. Selecting Menu -> More -> Backup, will copy your db to your SD card and call it upm.db. You can then copy this file to your PC.

Let me know if you have any problems.

HTTP sync is the big feature I'm working on for the next release. Hopefully it won't be much longer.

Hi Davy,

Unfortunately there's no import facility available at the moment. A few people have asked for it though so I'll probably include it in a future release.

Hi Rajesh,

Is the "total" attribute returned in your JSON correct? (the total field in the example I give is "totalPerons" - although that's a mis-spelling, it should be "totalPersons"). This attribute should be the total number of records in the listview, not just the current page.

Could it be that your Account object isn't a javabean (with getters for each attribute)?

Fair point Melinda. I've included the name of the product and fixed the link.

Hi myio,

It's difficult to say what the best approach is without understanding your data and how it would be best presented. With 7000 rows of data I'd say you're on the right track with remote paging.

The Grouping Grid looks pretty similar to the standard Grid. From looking at the example here (http://www.gwt-ext.com/demo... the only difference is that you use a GroupingStore, a GroupingView and call grid.setAutoExpandColumn() on the GridPanel.

Are you getting an error message Marco?

Re: Windows and Mac backups using rdiff-backup

Adrian Smith — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 11:12:41 -0000

Hi Martin,

You don't need any external libraries, just librsync.

tbh since I wrote this article I've started using rsync for my backups. No particular reason really, I just think it's a simpler solution rather than having to mess about with building the software yourself. I use it to backup Linux and Windows (no reason it couldn't be use on Mac as well but I don't my Mac much these days).

I might try and post my new setup someday soon - still ironing out the kinks.

Hi Ceara. Glad you like UPM. Unfortunately I've not tested it on Leopard yet but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work.

Have you installed the Java Cryptography Extension? AFAIK Leopard ships with Java 1.5 so if you go to this page http://java.sun.com/javase/... download the "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 5.0". Extract the ZIP file that you get and copy the two JAR files in it to the folder '.\lib\security' of your JRE (overwriting the ones that are there).

If that doesn't work let me know. The database changed structure between versions 1.0 and 1.5 so maybe there's a problem with the code that upgrades the database.
