* Humble Share App
Humble Share is an android application which hooks into the android
share functionality and allows to share text with an arbitrary
webservice. The application posts the shared data as a json string to
a configured webservice url (with optional http authentication).
** Motivation
Initially I implemented this for personal use, but I generalized the
idea, because I thought a "generic" share app would be useful for
everybody who doesn't want to build an android app, but is familiar
with any server side language such a python, php, perl, java or
whatever.
** Configuration
When started (via share functionality or launcher), the application
switches to the configuration view as long as no webservice url is
configured. Configure and save your webservice there. HTTP basic
authentication is optional and will not be sent if empty.
** Request Format
The application sends 3 fields, the shared content, a timestamp and a
user chosen type.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
POST /share HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost:5000
Connection: close
Accept: application/json
Content-type: application/json
Content-Length: 63
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.4)
Authorization: Basic <credentials>

{"content":"test","timestamp":"2014-07-23 10:14","type":"Link"}
#+END_EXAMPLE
** Available Backends
There is no generally available backend provided yet, but you can
easily roll you own. That's the idea. My personal backend uses a
python flask app which commits the share into my
calendar/note/todo/bookmark git repostory using org-mode files.
** License Remarks
*** Application icons
The application icons have been created with the "Android Asset
Studio", and are CC licensed, see:
https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
*** GSON Library
The application uses the gson-2.2.4.jar library, for its license see
libs/LICENSE.
** Known Problems
*** App Store Availability
I don't have time currently to deal with app store availability.
*** "No Peer Certificate"
If you want to use a self signed ssl certificate you have to create a
trust store on your own.

A manual how to do this can be found here:
http://blog.crazybob.org/2010/02/android-trusting-ssl-certificates.html

Move the file into "/res/raw/mystore.bks" and rebuild the
application. The resource will be picked up by the TrustingHttpClient,
if packaged with the app.
