Hi,

I managed to build an APK for KitKat (4.4) by setting minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 19.
However, the app is stuck in the signin process on two different servers I tried (one has default kanboard authentification, the other one is using remote proxy authentification with HTTP Basic Auth).

I do not have any experience in Android development (a little in Java), but if you have any idea where I should start look to fix this, I'm willing to help.

Hi, your help is appreciated.

From my previous test I know that it is enough to change minSdkVersion.
I also found some layout issues that needs to be addressed (the menu in the task detail view).

Concerning your login problems, you might want to have a look at KanboardAPI.java line 895, this is where the Authenticator is initialized.
If you can give me more details about the server configurations, I might be able to provide more clues.

Hi! Is it possible that u publish the alternative apk version for Android systems < V.5 here? I really would like to use it on my phone (Android 4.3), but my knowledge about android studio equals zero.

Kind regards.

thanks for this enhancement, I really appreciate it :) But can you please update the package in f-droid?

I installed the package manually and tried to connect to my server but it crashed.
I'm using Android 4.2.2 without google apps.

Here is the log:
