Bug Description
The question was asked a few months ago (https:/
I use Dropbox (though it should work with UbuntuOne or other cloud sync services) on two Ubuntu laptops and my Android phone. I have my Zim "Notes" notebook shared through Dropbox and, on the two Ubuntu laptops, things work as expected. I do find that I need to restart Zim when switching to the other laptop so as to see all the changes that have been made, but this is not a problem.
When I'm on the road and using my Android phone, I use the Dropbox file browser, browse to a text file in the "Notes" notebook and open it in a text editor. When I save the file, the changes are uploaded automatically via Dropbox and are waiting on my laptop(s) when I return.
This works well, so far, but it would be really nice to have a graphical user interface and WYSIWYG editing for the editor on the phone. I don't think this would be hard to implement, as the Zim markup is documented and simple. Any ideas where to look for Android hackers that might want to put together a basic text editor for Zim text files with the features listed above? It seems simple enough that AppInventor might be a place to start: http://
By way of follow-up, Tomdroid (https:/ /launchpad. net/tomdroid) is a foss project still in the early stages that provides Tomboy notes on Android. Not sure if there is enough of an overlap to reuse any of the components in a "Zimdroid" app.
