Rupp,
Per your request:
On a similar subject*, Rich/Rupp, has there been any effort on launching HSTouch faster on the Android?
To help jog your memory, it was the compromise we all seemed to agree on in loo of making HSTouch on the Android a service, you (Rich) were going to look into changing the Android from reading an XML to some binary format, which would allow us to get HSTouch started up based on NETWORK limitations, VS minutes of the program reading the XML (I too have been victim of the Android/Linux based XML parser being slow as molasses in winter sliding down a frozen flag pole).
Also to toss in there, would be nice to be able to (from intent...or command line) load HSTouch to one of the three profiles. I.e. have 3 shortcuts or something like that on the Android Launcher to choose which profile to load.
Also would be nice for the Android client to have an intent added to allow us to (from external) load the client to a specific page. Per your comments, if I were to get a text, I could do something with HSTouch. I use Tasker. If I get a text from Homeseer, Tasker can automatically open the HSTouch client directly to the page I want. -- I know I can just use Mr. Happy's plugin to wait for my phone to connect, then from the server PUSH the page jump...just a thought if you are already in there adding intents.
Thanks!
