Hi Julian
sounds great and was keen to try this but I'm getting the following error after downloading when trying to install the app:
Parse Error
There is a problem parsing the package.
Any ideas? Are there Android version requirements? I'm trying with a HTC Hero.
The app appears to be 1.06MB
Cheers
Ron

Subject: [Xerte] Android App

I’ve got an android app that consumes toolkits content: all the text pages, and all the navigators so far. You can subscribe either to the RSS feed of a folder, or to a learning object itself.

If you’ve got an android phone, you can install the (beta) application from http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/application.apk.

Thoughts most welcome.

On the home screen you can subscribe to content from a toolkits installation, either a folder’s RSS feed, or a learning object’s xml (via the xml link in the xml sharing tab on properties). The app has been built with Xerte 3.0, and I’ll put the source code up at some point. There is obviously more work to do with supporting the other page types, but I do wonder how many it is sensible to attempt, anyway, there’s a few to be getting on with.

Next steps is to package it for iPhone, but it’s not as easy as the Android route. I think we can also do Blackberry.
