Hello !
Well, G3 does not provide a remote API yet, so it's impossible to release a G3 compatible version.
Cheers,
Anthony

I tried this, and it connected to my gallery and displayed my albums, but when I attempted to upload a photo to a new album it aborted and said "The application G2Android (process net.dahanne.android.g2android) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Using v1.4.1 with a Samsung Moment on Android 1.5.

Hello !
This sounds like a bug to me... Never experienced that before.
Could you, please, submit a bug through the project bug-tracking system ? that way, you'll be able to provide more details about that happened, and also if some other people run into this issue, they'll know I'm aware of it !
This is G2Android bug tracking URL :

Hi,

Since there is now REST API (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:API:REST), any chance of this progressing? I guess the API is still a bit continuously evolving but it's there in a form now. :)

Unfortunately I had several issues with this new release:

1. Multiple upload does not work. I can select multiple pictures and G2android tells me they are successfuly uploaded, but nothing shows in my gallery. Uploading individual images works.

2. You have to set a destination folder when uploading, even if you have browsed to wanted folder and selected "add a photo to this album". I organize my folders in years and months, meaning I have several folders named june, july etc. Its impossible to know which folder to choose.

Phone: HTC Desire, android 2.1
Gallery version: 2.3

If these issues where fixed it would be a great app!

Thx.

well, you know, giving an accurate ETA is a bit difficult as I'm working on it during my spare time ;-)
Actually ReGalAndroid can list albums and list pictures of G3; I need it to be able to download pictures now (won't take long) and then make sure I did not break any G2Android previous features (might take long as I changed a lot of things since I created ReGalAndroid from G2Android).
Then, I will release a first version of ReGalAndroid
I'm hoping to make it available this week end... we'll see ;-)

Hello,
Well to compile it and pack it, everything is explained there : https://github.com/anthonydahanne/ReGalAndroid
But if you run into any troubles, I'd be glad to help.
For downloads, I'm about to release a first beta version for early adopters to test before I deploy to the market.
I will post on this forum as soon as it is pushed.

Hello !
A beta version of ReGalAndroid is available, for you to test with G3 and G2 :
https://github.com/downloads/anthonydahanne/ReGalAndroid/regalandroid-1.0.0-20101122.062008-4.apk
or, simpler :

some release notes, a wiki, bug, etc are coming soon, but please feel free to give your first impressions here (don'forget that G3 support is limited to connecting/browsing --that's it)

Workes like a charm, for G3.
However a Slideshow feature would be nice, also if the application scaled up a bit to fit the new tabs. It´s in a small window on a galaxy tab. And if you could add an option to disable what picture your on then it would really rock.
Otherwise it works fine.

Not sure how to submit a feature request, it got files as defect?! Well its not defect :) Its just nice to haves.
Ill try it out a bit more, love your work all at Gallery, have a very nice workflow now.
Can show my images on my phone, my tab, my computer, can export them from LR as a service change them and re-upload, and have private albums, also use the mediaRSS for screensavers and other slideshows.
Life is great :)

Just tell me if you need help with some testings, I have a galaxy S and a galaxy tab to test with.
