Electrum for Android

[kaii]

I'm aware of that. Problem is that if you look at the QR-url source here you can see the correct path. Somehow the site is not updating it.

I guess it just took time -- it's all working for me now. e4a_install.py and the e4a zip file are both accessible. The QR code for the Python script is also updated. Thanks!

Two suggestions...

1. One day I was unable to run Electrum because electrum.dat was corrupted on my phone. I needed to delete electrum.dat and restore it from my paper backup of the seed. I think it would be nice if Electrum could make a backup of the seed to an other file (encrypted with the same password as the wallet) so if electrum.dat gets corrupted it could be restored from the backup on the phone. (No need to go home and get the paper backup.)

2. If the server I've choosen Electrum to connect to is down, I want to choose an other server. But then the server list is empty. I think it would be nice if Electrum stored the list of servers so I can pick an other one when it's not connected.

Any progress on bringing this to the google market in a stand-alone apk? If you lack a developer account, I might add it under my account (which would mean me getting involved in its development )

please go ahead, if you feel like it

Actually I feel like "Spinner works great for me" and a bit like "I have a google developer account where I could bring more bitcoin stuff to regular Android users if it means barely more than reviewing code for backdoors and hitting the publish button".

going to install on nexus 7... Do you have a show balance widget in the works

Love this app. I'm tempted to pick up python just to keep the development going (if only there were enough hours in the day!)

Anyway the OP link is outdated: http://electrum.ecdsa.org/android.html directs there now (sadly no new version).

To OP: Here's some updated dependencies if you'd like to change the install instructions:

Scripting Layer For Android Release 6
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/downloads/detail?name=sl4a_r6.apk&can=2&q=

Python for Android Release 7 (doesn't require the additional Install step within PyfA)
http://code.google.com/p/python-for-android/downloads/detail?name=PythonForAndroid-r7b1.apk&can=2&q=

Yesterday I had weird issue with corrupted electrum.dat. I sent transaction, then I closed app as usual, but I wasn't able to start client again and terminal wrote something about corrupted electrum.dat. I had to drop electrum.dat and reload seed from my backup.

I spent a lot of effort on the electrum desktop recently, but I did not have time to catch up with the android version.
I will do it after the next version

any NFC support?

not for the moment, because I don't have a NFC phone

same happened to me about 1-2 weeks ago

Android version 0.52 still works fine with newer servers (i.e. electrum.be) - what needs patching is DEFAULT_SERVERS in interface.py - for some reason the servers come up as empty recently.

One workaround is to move electrum.dat to a desktop, change server and move electrum.dat back. Unfortunately the dialog to change servers to "private server" just exits the app.
I'm sure this will all be patched with a newer version...

1.4 is out and works fine! Thanks for the good work to ThomasV

[slush]

I just installed 1.5 and it works nicely. It even looks a bit more stable than previous versions. Did you do some fixes or it is just my feeling?

I noticed some new bugs and fixed them. maybe they were caused because Google's SL4a changed.

[running]

I have tried the lastest version (1.7.1). It starts all right, but then crashes when signing transactions, no matter what.

I will try to download old versions somehow.

do you have a python traceback?

old versinos still on the website: e4a-157zip  e4a-158zip  e4a-160zip  e4a-161zip  e4a-162zip

[running]

By manually editing the install file and switching it to 1.6.2 I installed the old version and that one works fine.

So it is something in the 1.7.1.
