I need it.
I might be able to release a useable version of the app within a few days.
How did you do that? Did you port OpenSteamWorks to android, run a server elsewhere, or something else?
Steamkit2 by Voided and some other guys.
The app will be free for android, right? If not, I probably wouldn't mind paying $0.99 or something
[QUOTE=TheCloak;31739742]The app will be free for android, right? If not, I probably wouldn't mind paying $0.99 or something[/QUOTE] Selling it would probably give Valve a reason to send a cease & desist letter to Azzy. I doubt Valve would care that much about the reverse engineering, Valve seems more like a company that would offer a job for that instead of suing. Making a profit off something that Valve probably has patented or at least copyrighted would raise a red flag, and even then it'll just be to protect their IP.
The app will be completely free.
Is it open source? (I know SteamRE is)
Can't wait for this be released, I was just saying the other day how I wish there was a Android Steam-Chat client :v:.
This is extremely relevant to my interests.
I'm way to paranoid to give my account/password to any other site except Steam. Sorry, Azzy. :( Really awesome job though! It would be incredible if this would just use Voided's libraries clientside so it would be completely stand-alone.
How's the progress on the Android app?

You'd need Steam Guard to change your password/login else where anyway
-Out of date- It is in a semi-useable state. You can send and receive messages but is still buggy. Known bugs: Doesn't autoscroll to bottom in chat view when opened. The autoscroll to bottom when you receive a message does not properly work on multiline text. OK button on the on-screen keyboard does not send message/login, you have to use the actual buttons. The message notification is also temporary.

Also I'll post this as a quote in the Android thread if you don't mind. [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] Ok, I found a bug. I have a massive friends list (100 or so), and when it says Retrieving server info it just freezes up and closes after a bit. It works on my account with 5 friends. Phone: Samsung Galaxy S II ROM: VillianDroid 2.3.4 LogCat: [url]http://navalrp.co.uk/public/images/alogcat.2011-08-16-19-01-04+0100.txt[/url] The line I can pick out is this: [code] I/Database(19424): sqlite returned: error code = 14, msg = cannot open file at source line 25472 E/Database(19424): sqlite3_open_v2("/data/data/com.pocketSteam/databases/pocketSteam.db", &handle, 6, NULL) failed [/code]
Didn't get a Steam Guard e-mail yet, been waiting for 10 minutes now. [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] Still nothing. [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] 40 minutes since the app sent the request, no e-mail yet. It might be bugged.
I'd...like....give someone a blowjob if they ported this to iOS....
Workaround: Log in on the Steam website from a web browser you do not use / install a new one temporarily.

The app forcecloses, same thing as FlamingSpaz. :saddowns:
Will look into why it doesn't like long friends lists, and the Steam Guard problem, you're gonna have to login on a browser to get the key until I can find out why. [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] Right, anyone having crashes at start, delete app data and uninstall. And then install this version and tell me if it works. -Out of date- This has avatars disabled by default which is what I think is causing the crashes, as avatars are cached in the database, and large numbers of friends are spamming it.

It forcecloses at "Retrieving server info", and if it gets past that, about 10-15 seconds after the loading. [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] Also, every time I use the app I need to input the Steam Guard code.
Same as others, heres a LogCat for the new version: [url]http://navalrp.co.uk/public/images/pocketsteam31.txt[/url] One thing to note is that it takes longer to close, so it's syncing more than before.
Sorry to bother you, AzzyMaster, but can you give us an ETA for the fix?
Trying it out now, I guess I don't have enough friends to screw it up =( [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] I started a chat with someone then it said "You have no friends". foreveralone.jpg
Sweet Sauce!
