Hey gang,

Ive got a unique situation going on here with a client that has RTI in multiple locations. Both locations can be controlled remotely. Both locations have their own system gateway with an external DDNS IP. The issue is that since he is a droid user he has to go through a bunch of ropes to reconfigure his device then manually type the IP into his connection settings for each location. This is highly frustrating for the client to have to remember these settings since they don't stay as Manually configured IP's like in the iOS interface. SO in short, I have a theory of Renaming the RTI apps per location, so that the OS will see it as 2 different apps and in turn there would have to be NO reconfiguring. One would stay configured for location A and the other would stay as Location B. I know that the Market Place and droid in general are much more flexible than the Apple App Store in regards of manipulating certain things within an app. My ultimate goal would be to have The same RTI app on the phone twice. Each would have their own config and he would simply open app a or b.
Any help with this would be great. I hope RTI can get on the same page as other Control Systems out there that can already accomplish this under one app. Similar to how camera DVR's work now a days... Thanks in advance.

How about setting up a VPN to each location. Then you could name each VPN, and connect "locally" each processor.

I havent done it but I think it should work.

VPN will work, or use the XP2XP driver posted on the forum. With that driver you dont need any VPN, just some programming changes

No idea if this still works or if it ever did, but you could try this [Link: swapmyapp.com]

Pulled this off another forum:

"On Android, the package name of the app is what identifies it on the phone: that's what gives it its own space to run in, and it has to be unique in running apps. There are two options to get one app running two instances:

If you're on a Jelly Bean tablet, you can do this with multi-user support. Create two user profiles on the tablet, and you can run the app once in each profile. Each user's instance of the app gets its own storage.

If you have access to the source code of the app, you can create a new app by changing its package name. Then install the new app. What you end up with is actually two apps, each with one instance, but since they both have the same code and resources, it has the effect you're looking for.

These are the only two ways. If your device doesn't have multi-user support, and you don't have access to the app's source code (i.e. you're not the app's developer), then you're out of luck."
