Hi everyone!
We are developing an Android application based on official Alfreaco application for Android

and I was wondering if following functions are already existing in current version of

android application or are going to be added in future:

1. In current version I could not find streaming function for video and audio files.
2. No preview is existing for images and PDF files and as soon as you click on file it just

shows you an icon of file type.
3. Synchronization mechanism which keeps files updated to the last version in mobile side

(Maybe using MD5 hash check-sum).
4. Camera upload feature which automatically uploads taken photos and videos to the server.
5. It is impossible to add two files with same name and update existing file to a newer

version. The application will add an auto incremented number to the end of the file and

uploads it as a new version.

I will be glad if anyone have any information about these features.
Regards.

Aloah,

1. There's no streaming function because mostly there's no streaming API available from Alfresco Server.
2. There's 2 cases here : Preview & Thumbnails. Thumbnails are generally available by default on Alfresco (mostly for images) and if you are able to see images on details page of a document generally it can be displayed inside the mobile application. At the opposite preview are not available. The mobile application doesnt embed any previewer of any kind. It relies on 3rd party application to open the document previously downloaded.
3. There's already a sync mechanism available. Any favorited document will be kept in sync between your device and the repository.
4. This feature is not available.
5. It's possible to update a document directly from the details page of the document. If you upload a file with an existing fileName the import will change the name with a suffix.

In term of next version
1. Not planned. Feel free to open a jira improvement ticket in issues.alfresco.com on project "Mobile"
2. We are working to preview PDF document directly from inside the app.
3. Already available.
4. Not planned. Feel free to open a jira improvement ticket in issues.alfresco.com on project "Mobile"
5. It's planned not necessarily for the next coming version.

Hope it helps.
