Hi everyone, This year I am working on the Hawkular Android application as part of the Google Summer of Code 2015 program. The last week I spent of familiarization with the project and its key terms. With the help of public Hawkular servers, the Docker image and snapshots I looked at the API and experimented a bit to understand how things actually work. As a result I’ve created a wiki page [1] with the brief overview of key Hawkular terms. In the process I’ve opened a very first Hawkular issue regarding Docker image [2]. As a result of better understanding what is what I’ve created a very rough mockup of the UI [3] which I’ve also sent to the design team. Hopefully after a review of functions and design I can proceed with the development itself. There is some source code already [4] but mostly it is just a basic project structure, it is almost useless to the end user at this point. I would like to start the development process this week. Of course it will require a better understanding of what actually should be done — I’ve tried to clarify this with creating the mockup. I think a basic authentication plus resources fetching is a good bet to work on even without clear requirements, so it can be started right away. Probably I should prepare a script to fill a Hawkular instance with some sample information — in Python or just plain cURL. If anyone has something like that — that will be a great help. I was advised to look at the test scenario [5] as a departure point but maybe someone of you have a similar thing locally. Regards, Artur.

Hi Thomas, Displaying the notification and opening a screen with detail of an alert would be good. Yep, it will be there.

I am not sure about the authentication flow, user should first authenticate and then somewhere in the interface he should be able to switch tenant (*if* he has several). I guess a good place would be the top entry of the side menu. Sorry for not making it clear — it will be done almost exactly as you are saying. User will be available to add multiple servers and tenants. It will be done via the same flow. There is a spinner at the top of the drawer menu which will allow to select the necessary one. Basically it will be very similar to Google Mail and Google Play apps.

Environment can be ignored for now, it won't be in the admin console for a while. In the end, I think you could end up with a single screen, with server Host+Port, login name and Password. Actually I already switched to OAuth, so there will be host input, port input, tenants spinner and "Authorize" button.

I don't think we need the metric table, graph are way more useful. Not everything can be presented via a graph — HTTP status codes for example.

Resources at the moment are URLs or Servers. You would need to list them. It is already in the mockup — the resources screen just below the screen with a drawer. If I understood you correctly of course.

Thanks! Artur. _______________________________________________ hawkular-dev mailing list hawkular-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hawkular-dev
