The Android Selector 1.1 allows users to login to websites by auto-filling un/pw fields from their Android mobile device.

Although we call this solution a selector it does NOT currently support the IMI protocol, only un/pw form filling. The Username/password data is persisted on (non-IMI-compliant) cards on a hosted I-Card Service.

Building

The projects are:

• app/org.eclipse.higgins.android.icard.npapi
• app/org.eclipse.higgins.android.icard.selector
• app/org.eclipse.higgins.android.icard.service

These projects can be checked out from the Eclipse repository at the following SVN URIs:

In order to build the Android I-Card Selector, you need the following:

   * The last version of Android SDK http://developer.android.com
   * The Apple iPhone SDK (including Xcode)
   * An account with Apple's iPhone Developer Program 

You should be able to build both projects normally from within Xcode
