Enhancement: Provide the option to start the RemoteDroidServer running in the Windows taskbar, to avoid Start Menu clutter.

Functionality is a part of Java 6 using the following packages:

java.awt.SystemTray java.awt.TrayIcon

Cool, I'll look into this.

I've already done this, but it was part of a massive refactoring to make it work how I wanted so can't really just post it just as a patch.

Have attached the latest code that I am using - this runs as a system tray icon with a context menu to show a log of current activity and the option to close the server.

I simply run the Java on Startup and it works fine - no more annoying window!

Could you provide us with the compiled RemoteDroidServer.jar? I'm a total newbie and don't know how to turn that zip package into an executable jar file. Thanks!

The jar file is inside the zip file already. You start it with java -jar RemoteDroidSerr.jar

I really can't find the .jar file inside the zip file klankenstein posted. They are mostly .class and .java files but none of them is executable.

Can anyone compile this?

Im fairly ceartain the zip file was mistakingly uploaded, im not seeing any tray code in it. Also not seeing the jar either. However I think some of the project members are actively looking into tray support. If i make any progress ill keep posted.

Did anything happen to this issue?

I would just like to make a small point regarding this issue.

Ubuntu is transitioning away from the system tray, and building the Application Indicator menus instead (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators).

This means that any work done to add RemoteDroidServer to the system tray will be ineffective for both Mac and soon Ubuntu. The only common method of task management between the 3 platforms is now the solely taskbar. It is important to maintain legacy behaviour to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

So what do I do if I am not going to ever use Ubuntu, only windows but want to get rid of that window? I can't seem to figure out a way to hide it and I can't really find any info about how to hide it. Could someone please show me how to make it hide, or run as a system service? Please!?!?!

I also really love to see the "nowindow" option be implemented :)

I wanna run this in my media-pc (yaVDR) and use my phone as a remote.

I carefully read your blog And it satisfied and my problems. Actually I was searching for someone who can correct my mistake. This Guide was really helpful for me. thank you so much http://21century.in/
