I'd like to download RACHEL for Android. I'm following the guide http://dev.worldpossible.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_RACHEL_on_Andoid_Tablet_or_Android_MiniPC Which links to
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqiqj3fgbzo7wel/RACHEL_mobile_server08_12.apk?dl=0

however Dropbox no longer has this file available :(

Please can you provide an updated source for the apk file? I could do with it today :)

Thanks


Julian

Also the sphider.zip file is not available using the link from the doc, I'd appreciate it too. Thank you.

Julian,

I am tied up in a conference call for the next several hours, but I will get to work on this as soon as I am free and can get back to my desk.

Hi Julian,

The APK and SQL are back on the FTP site. 

Just a note, they won't really work with the still highly prevalent 4.4.2 Kitkat (which restricted sd card access).  Not sure about Lollipop

It's available here ftp://rachelfriends.org/z-rachelandroid_APK/ However can I set your expectations as it might not work on some devices, particularly those running recent versions of Android from what I understand. If you have a device with Android JellyBean (i.e. versions 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3) it's likely to work with a bit of fiddling around to get it setup and the data files copied onto the device. From what I understand, this app was created with minimal funding to see whether it was possible to run a RACHEL server on Android, more of a proof of concept than a professional quality app. 

It may be possible to develop a RACHEL for newer editions of Android especially if someone is willing and able to support the project either by creating the Android App or funding the work. 

Good luck & please send an update on your progress.

Julian
