BBB-Android and custom bigbluebutton server

[billvass]

Hi,
Tried the BBB-Android client on a custom BBB server I setup at home.
All went well until I decided to rename the default "demo" folder to "meeting".
Of course i did all the config changes to BBB so it would point to the new api demo folder.

To recap, the web access to the server works fine, only access via BBB-Android is broken.
When I try to update the meeting list from the "Meeting" option it just displays the message "Failed to connect: Could not connect the server"
Do I have to change the URL I input to the server field?

Any help would be appreciated...

Bill

Hi Bill,

Felipe can give you a better answer, but you might try modifying

  /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo/mobile_conf.jsp

to the contetnts of

<%!

// This is the mobile security salt that must be used to check the requests on mobile.jsp

String mobileSalt = "03b07";

%>

This was the previous default salt (shared secret).  See

Hi Bill,

The problem is that BBB-Android will always try to use the mobile demo on http://<your server>/demo/mobile.jsp, and this is hardcoded, there's no way to change the demo path through the app interface.

The easiest solution I could think to solve your problem is to keep the mobile.jsp and related files (bbb_api.jsp, mobile_api.jsp and mobile_conf.jsp) into the "demo" folder, while the other files (like demo1.jsp or other files you use in your integration) into the new "meeting" folder.

You could also provide a better mobile integration in your application, since BBB-Android will launch automatically if you click on a join link with the prefix "bigbluebutton://". This way you could provide two buttons for join a session, one will redirect to the default join URL and the other will redirect to the same URL with the custom prefix. This kind of integration is used by the Mconf integration (http://mconf.org).

I believe you'd also need to keep around bbb_api_conf.jsp as well because bbb_api.jsp relies on it.

Thank you all for your your suggestions. I will try, although, because there are no more demo1.jsp, demo2.jsp etc (I created my own pages), I don't think I'll get far.
One thing I was thinking to try, though, is use re-download the contents of the demo folder and use "include" on all those demo.jsp pages to load my actual pages.
Maybe It'll work...
