X-IP :: No-IP dynamic update client for Android


Unfortunately, for reasons beyond my control, I've lost all data related to this application, including source code and digital signature. This makes it impossible to update the application that has become obsolete. I'm trying to get everything back up to continue my development plans on the android plattform and planing to release the new version at the end of this week (Feb. 5th 2012).
No new version will have more features including:
  • Multiple simultaneous host names
  • Select useful network (wifi only, mobile only or both)
  • Public IP change detection
  • Support for any service provider using protocol similar to No-IP or DynDNS
  • Built in support for No-IP and DynDNS



No-ip provides a service that allows you to access your devices (PCs, mobile phones, anything with an IP on it basically) through a human friendly name much like the websites you use.
Now it is possible to have your Android phone interfacing with No-ip therefore allowing you to access it from anywhere in the world without requiring to know current IP.


X-IP
Discover more Android apps



You can download it from google market or use a QR code scanner



Usage is straight forward, create your  No-ip account and setup your host name.
 Then launch the aplication and input your data:

Then just click Enabled and let the magic happen... If everything is ok, you'll get a notification stating that X-IP is running...


Everytime an update is performed you also get notified


Once launched, X-IP will keep running in the background, you may connect and disconnect from the Internet, X-IP will detect every new connection and update immediatelly.
Also, after version 1.01 the update client will start automatically on device boot if it was enabled before power off.

 New version released. Version 1.10 allows to control notification:
- Allways ON : notifications are allways visible
- Allways OFF : notifications are allways hidden
- Automatic : Notification hides itself automatically after presenting the information.








Any comments, suggestions are most welcome please post it here...

    Nice but better if it can run at startup without clicking "Enabled".
    Any other way to start update cycle silently?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Version 1.01 now handles automatic start up...

    I have it running, shouldn't I be able to ping my host or ip address?
    Can you add an option to hide the notification except on update?

    the ability to ping may be restricted by network configuration (including the case of GSM). Some providers block ICMP requests in the network.
    But you can access your no-ip account and verify that your host is updated in the hosts area...
    I'll include your suggestion on the next release... maybe next week ;)

      Hi,
      I cannot provide further updates on the application and solve any issue that may arise... therefore this version has been discontinued... I'm releasing a new version Sunday (see the top of the post)

      Regards
