Traveler for Android - search Domino Directory and home screen widgets

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have installed the latest Traveler on my server and I am testing it on an Android phone.

Is there any way to search the Domino Directory for contacts? While my personal contacts sync, I can’t find how to search the corporate directory. This feature is available on iPhone and Nokia.

Secondly, is there any home screen widgets for calendar or mail? The notifications work, but most users like to see at least a count of un-read emails, if not a summary widget of the latest emails and a list of today’s calendar entries.

Still looking for a way to get the calendar on the home screen.

I just went to the applications screen, held down calendar, and then android asks to add it to a screen…

Simples…

Thank you. I have already found how to put a shortcut to the program. As you say, that is easy.

However both the GMail and HTC mail and calendar applications (on my HTC Desire) have home screen widgets as well as shortcuts to the programs.

The difference is that a widget shows you some data. A calendar widget usually this shows a list of today’s appointments. For mail, how many unread messages + the most recent two or three.

Think of the Today themes on a Blackberry, or the way that a Nokia shows calendar, inbox, etc (if you are familiar with either of those).

One big advantage of Android over iOS is the ability to have home screen widgets which display live data, not just the app shortcuts Apple limits you to. Traveler needs widgets.
