I’d like to show the demo implementation until April 2012.

The following picture is technical stack so far.

The feature plan

* Text EventStream connection for server push event.
etc ) to know new incoming mail
* Auto-reconnect for POP3/IMAP4
( Username/Password saved instance memory )
* use Database System.
* ActionScript Client API
* Network layer authority
Example:
　If you see messages from LAN , No limitation exists.
But you see messages from Internet, You can’t download any attachments files.
Or you can’t see very important message.
etc, etc..
* Full text-index search

Requirement:

Java :
Not work on Android so far. But I don’t want to use the library that does NOT support to work on Android.
So I don’t use Tomcat or Any J2EE application server.
DB:
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache Derby, H2, SQLite

I searched it, but many solutions can’t fit my case.
My requirements are
1 ) No USB connection
2 ) No Android SDK on my PC.
3 ) Can support on production mode ( No debug player )

In other words, The limitations move to outer enviroment from app and android phone.
And I want to control the outer environment.

My solution

Requirements

1 ) Need syslog server that can support TCP connetcion ( these are “rsyslog” or “syslog-ng” as I know )
2 ) TCPSyslogTarget as3 class ( can download on airxlib_log )
3 ) Wifi connection ( optional )
“optional” means .. I don’t think it is easy to make syslog server on the global network.

setup syslog server

The following config is a part of “rsyslog.conf”.

$ModLoad imtcp.so
$InputTCPServerRun 514
$AllowedSender TCP, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.0/24
:
local1.*                                                /var/log/air.log

setup logging functions on your source code

[as3]
import com.coltware.airxlib.log.TCPSyslogTarget;

// my syslog server’s ip is “192.168.1.5″. please change

var syslog:TCPSyslogTarget = new TCPSyslogTarget(“192.168.1.5″);
syslog.program = “AdobeAIR”;
syslog.filters = ["*"];
syslog.level = LogEventLevel.DEBUG;
syslog.facility = TCPSyslogTarget.LOG_LOCAL1;
syslog.includeCategory = true;
Log.addTarget(syslog);
[/as3]

use flex logging functions.
[as3]
import mx.logging.ILogger;
import mx.logging.Log;

private static var log:ILogger = Log.getLogger(“foofoo”);
log.debug(“mmmmmm….”);
[/as3]

At first, I tried to use UDP connection. But I can’t. ( I don’t know the reason )

[as3]
private function handleMessage(event:IMessageEvent):void{

　var msg:MimeMessage = event.getMimeMessage();
　var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(“mail_” + msg.messageId + “.eml”);

　var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
　fs.open(file,FileMode.WRITE);
　fs.writeBytes(event.source);
　fs.close();
}
[/as3]

Re-parse and make MimeMessage from local file

The following example is required v0.7 or more.

[as3]
// var dir:File = File.someDirectoryYouWantToUse

var list:Array = dir.getDirectoryListing();
var length:int = list.length;
for(var i:int = 0; i var file:File = list[i];
if(!file.isDirectory){
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.openAsync(file,FileMode.READ);
fs.open(file,FileMode.READ);

var parser:MailParser = new MailParser();
var msg:MimeMessage = parser.parseStream(fs);
var text:String = msg.bodyText;

log.debug("subject : [" + msg.subjectUTF8 + "]");
log.debug(text);

fs.close();
}
}
[/as3]

1 ) text/html
2 ) multipart/alternative

1 ) text/html

In this case, you can get html content very easily.
The mime message only has one body part.

[as3]
private function handleMessage(event:IMessageEvent):void{
var msg:MimeMessage = event.getMimeMessage();
var htmlText:String = msg.bodyText;
}
[/as3]

2 ) multipart/alternative

This case is slightly harder than case 1.
But airxmail support to access to child part using findParts method.

[as3]
var parts:Array = msg.findParts(“text/html”);
if(parts.length > 0){
var htmlText:String = MimeBodyPart(parts[0]).bodyText;
}
}
[/as3]

Typically, text/html part is the only one.
So I think you don’t need to check first text/html part.

see source code

MimeMessage.findPart

Download:
coltware_airxlib_log_r3.swc on code.google.com
Class name: UDPSyslogTarget.as

How to use UDPSyslogTarget

[as3]
import com.coltware.airxlib.log.UDPSyslogTarget;

var syslog:UDPSyslogTarget = new UDPSyslogTarget(“192.168.1.5″);
syslog.facility = UDPSyslogTarget.LOG_LOCAL1;
syslog.program = “AdobeAIR”;
syslog.filters = ["com.coltware.*"];
syslog.level = LogEventLevel.DEBUG;
syslog.includeCategory = true;
Log.addTarget(syslog);
[/as3]

Line 3. Set hostname and port(default is 514)
Line 4. Set facility
Line 5. Set program name

Other properties are same as TraceTarget class.

If you don’t know how to use TraceTarget, please see HERE.
