The custodial grant for the Android client has been approved and successfully transferred into the designated address. Will work with the developer Matthew to get the final contract signed off and I will transfer the first part as agreed and with that the start of the contract.
Thanks for your support. You may now remove the voting address from your wallet.
Congratulations on your successful proposal Cybnate, looking forward to see this work out. Thank you!
That is right. It is not easy to see e.g. how many of your votes have contributed to this proposal. Maybe a nice-to-have feature request for the devs? Ideally you would like to see this information in your wallet.
Congrat! Wish andriod version available ASAP, afterall PPC andriod wallet is there. When is ios version? 
definitively.
We are good to go! I’ve just signed the contract with the developer and transferred the first contractual payment of 1600 NBT (TxID: 9693cb7aaa4ce1c19d98dd66161e8c18e30800e11783cc5d8752fba4363d17d4)
From now on I will update you on progress and interesting facts regularly.
Happy to post the first update on the development of the NuBits Android wallet funded by the Shareholders.
Here are some of the activities:
Last weekend I’ve handed over the SSH keys and passwords to the development cloudserver to Matthew.
Matthew started with some work setting up the firewall etc. and move some stuff over.
On Monday we were locked out of the server after I got a message from the cloudserver provider that there was an issue. We lost a full day after it became clear that rebooting didn’t help and we had to revert to a backup. Cause unknown, but cloudserver provider did some maintenance work 2 days before, by lack of a better explanation I believe they messed up something. Will keep on monitoring it and ensure backups are working. Good test anyway.
I’ve created two public repositories for Matthew, one for the Android client and one for the ABE blockexplorer. They are still empty, but I will link to them once populated with code.
Tuesday (yesterday) Matthew reported that we got the basic NuBits explorer running. Have seen it working briefly but I think it is not stable yet. Not ready for show-time anyway, but I’ve added a screenshot at the bottom as proof.
Just to clarify we need the blockexplorer running as support for the client. Nice thing is that we also get a second blockexplorer for NuBits only. NuShares may be added later if desired, but that is not part of this work. The blockexplorer can be used independently from the Android client.
Hope to post further updates and screenshots in the next few days. Stay tuned.
Great update and great progress.
Thanks to both @Cybnate and Matthew for their continued hard work on this.
@Cybnate, I’m not sure how you’ll have one, without the other. @MatthewLM, are you actively parsing out NSR transactions? Both NSR and NBT transactions use the same blockchain.
is “approx time” in GMT?
Yes I am ignoring Nushares transactions as it would cause issues with Abe otherwise.
Well, at least that is the intention
I’m way over due with an update on the NuBits Android development, so here is one:
Explorer appears to be stable. I’m having some issues with the SSL certificate request, but hope to sort that in next few days. Once that is done I can also add the Cloudflare service to protect the explorer and optimise the mobile wallet. Once all confirmed I will publish the NuBits only explorer domain name so it can be tested and verified by a wider audience.
I’ve created a NuBitsj repository on Matthew’s request. We will populate that repo and the others once we think it is fit for beta testing by the community.
Unfortunately there is an issue with making certain NuBitsj messages recognised by the NuBits client. Without the source code, Matthew is relying on the core devs to provide further information. There is a risk that this delays the delivery, but I’m still hoping the devs can make themselves available to progress this and sort this soon.
Further updates as of today:
The issue with NuBitsj has been solved thanks to NuBits devs.
Matthew will do the testing of the App in next 36 hours. Hope it passes…
I’ve organised the Cloudfare account which is now ready to use. Server-side SSL still not working due to verification issues, but worst case we can do without and rely on Cloudflare’s SSL till this is sorted. This shouldn’t be a showstopper and most people won’t notice as the SSL lock in the browser will show anyway.
The coincidence of the first release with Christmas is a bit unfortunate as both Matthew and myself will be mostly unavailable for those two days. Although I might get a first version of the APK in next 36 hours, I won’t be able to test much until the 27th, but I will aim to publish the blockexplorer and the Android APK for sideloading soon thereafter.
Will aim for another update before I’m going off-line. Christmas starts 12 hours earlier than GMT over here 
Here is another update:
As soon as this is sorted I expect to publish a copy of the APK in the cloud to start the agreed 14 days of testing by the community. Will also publish all the code and the location. Hope this will all be fixed in next day or so. The test version is just that, and will be replaced by a final version after the 14 days of testing and then officially published on Google App store.
I’m looking forward to share this great App and the NuBits blockexplorer with you and tell everything you want to know about it.
Stay tuned.
Edit: update, Cloudflare issue sorted. It just takes some time to confirm the certs apparently. Have asked Matthew to upload the sources as soon as he is available so I can publish the test version of the app.
Ok, it is getting late here, so here is a little teaser with the NuBits Abe blockexplorer which supports the Android App. Will publish the App and further instructions first thing in my morning after Matthew updated the repos. Stay tuned.

The explorer only shows the NuBits transactions and is a bit limited, but it works and you can lookup transactions and it even has an API. It doesn’t auto-refresh.

Today I can finally share with you the result of the work done by Matthew and myself on the development of the NuBits Android wallet. Thanks for your patience in the last few days. We can now confirm it is stable, functional and working according to specifications.
Disclaimer
Please note that this is a TEST APK version in a production environment with real NBT and that you have to be prepared to loose any coins and re-install the application in 14 days time. Please backup and encrypt your wallet before adding coins to it. There are also ways to export the private keys but that is not for the uninitiated (search for Bitcoin ABE Android private keys export and replace Bitcoin with NuBits). Please use small amounts to test and nothing more you can afford to loose.
Download link
All right, with that disclaimer out of the way, here is the download link: MEGA

You may need to install an APK manager/installer to sideload this TEST App. This won’t be required for the final version which will be published on Google Apps. I’ve attached a few pictures at the bottom of this post, so you can see how it should look like.

Please check the link (especially the functionality section) before submitting any issues.
Submitting Issues
Please use this thread to submit any issues/bugs and I will compile them for the dev. It is important to raise issues rather sooner than later as after the 14 days period the developer will be paid for his work and is no longer formally obliged to fix issues according to the contract.
Wish-list
I’m also welcoming a wish-list, but keep it a bit down to earth and feasible. Some have already been mentioned in the gist, but happy to add to this list. As the code is open source people are free to add pull requests with fixes after the 14 day -period when the code is final for this first release. However I’m not promising any new releases until I have been able to contract or arrange a developer to test any PRs and compile the code.
Why use this App over the other Android app
Enjoy testing the App!

Please have a look yourself for more 
The testing period ends on Tuesday 13 January 2015 at 23:59:59 (GMT).
Known issue log:
The App is working well. it installed without issue and all the standard functions are working as expected.
I have sent and received NuBits, generated new addresses, added labels, added trusted peers and generally tried to break it.
Had a simple crash when sending NBT but the crash report interface worked perfectly when I restarted the wallet, so a debug log is on it’s way. It’s entirely likely that it’s my insistence on running flaky custom ROMs that is to blame though.
I’l continue trying to break it over the next few days and be sure to report back here with anything that I find.
