Re: [moVirt] Integrating aSpice with moVirt

Hello! we tried to run aSPICE from moVirt via intent, this is what we got: - we used aSPICE from Google Play (3.7.6) - we spawned a VM with SPICE console without password on port 5900 - in moVirt, we created dummy intent that was executing "spice://our_ip:our_port" -> the system didn't run any application - when we tried to change the intent url to "vnc://our_ip:our:port" -> system asks which application we want to run the intent - it displays popup with two items: bVNC and aSPICE - when proceed with aSPICE option, aSPICE client will indeed execute, but an error popup appears - that means aSPICE is also paired with "vnc://" intent (- we were successful with connecting to this VM manually by punching in SPICE server ip:port from within aSPICE) Thank you for your work on these cool projects! Cheers!

Are you using aSPICE v3.7.6 from the market, an older version, or a version that you've built according to the instructions in BUILDING? If using the version from Google Play, it *should* work. If building your own, the following changes are necessary: sed -i 's/getScheme().equals("vnc")/getScheme().equals("spice")/' bVNC/eclipse_projects/bVNC/src/com/iiordanov/freeaSPICE/RemoteCanvasActivity.java sed -i 's/VncUsername/SpiceUsername/' bVNC/eclipse_projects/bVNC/src/com/iiordanov/freeaSPICE/Constants.java sed -i 's/VncPassword/SpicePassword/' bVNC/eclipse_projects/bVNC/src/com/iiordanov/freeaSPICE/Constants.java These values need to be determined programmatically, but for the moment, they are constants that need to be changed. Please note that the version in the market has VncUsername and VncPassword changed to SpiceUsername, and SpicePassword respectively as you can see above. Apart from those changes it should function, but like I said, I haven't tested aSPICE explicitly. If you would like me to test as well, please provide me a binary of movirt to save me some time as I am swamped with work at the moment.
