kwc Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I need a very simple program for android. Basic screen with two input boxes, one command button One input to enter a seed code. Second to enter a postcode. Hit the command button and it takes only the number values from post code and add it to the seed, then displays result Eg Seed =1234 Postcode =ab12 3cd Add the 1234 to the 123 then display result 2464 If any one can knock up this simple app, let me know.

Nova-Security Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 site specific eng code?

kwc Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 That's the kind of idea for this, Grade 3 if needed could even just add extra as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-Security Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Thought about this before but i would want it tied to our server so if an engineer leaves the app is no good Been talked about on here before I think Edited July 5, 2015 by Nova-Security Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

PeterJames Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 you could run it from driod using RDC though so login to a remote comp that then logs into the remote server job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) My idea is not for alarm purpose in the main, but to generate a code for a site to be used by call out staff to access a key locker. So each site is different but call out staff eg security guards etc don't carry internal keys or codes for sites. This is a customer specific. If they attend a site they get code then access keys. We can use different seed codes if needed for each site if they require in the future Also just needs to be an app, not on server Edited July 5, 2015 by kwc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwc Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 That's about it. Not done android programming, just a bit visual basic year s ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 PM me and I'll give you the download URL. This means that you need to install manually on any phone, (Android allows this). If you want something polished to a level for Google Play or some IP web based interaction, then it's a bit more work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyGuy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 No, only Android. Really simple though, so wouldn't take much to put together for the iPhone. Note that the postcode doesn't really offer much as it's a known constant for any premises. Since you're having to give the patrol a seed value, you may as well give them a unique code for the site and leave the postcode part out. The app doesn't offer any level of security in the equation. It would be better if it were a password that the security patrol were given as their constant. The password + seed would then provide the code. That way, the seed values and passwords are of no use to the holding parties unless combined. If your patrol password becomes compromised, you generate a new one and the seed changes accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that clever to be able to write a prog, don't know anything about it, would have loved to try it out, all our sites have unique site codes so I guess a seed code combined with the side code would be spot on. Can you get a converter programme from Android to Apple ?

PSE Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm interested in this idea, I see it as a step in the right direction to be honest...

GalaxyGuy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Publishing for the iPhone is quite a bit different than publishing for Android devices. Android allow content from the relevant content stores, but phones also allow unpublished applications to be installed. iPhone apps need to go through the Apple approval process and they need to be built with Xcode on MAC OS (on an apple computer) with an approved developer account. Only hacked (jailbroken) iPhones can install unpublished apps. All depends on the level of polish you require. My issue is lack of time and I'd rather polish my car, than an app GUI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I've been giving this some more thought over the last few days So I decided to give our web designer a call and see what can be done Apparently, its an absolute doddle to add this to our engineers portal, only half a days work. So, I have instructed him to crack on with it as soon as possible and lets see how it performs. Basics on how it will work are; It will require a seed code can only be changed at the office by myself, Lets say its set to 0123 Engineer logs into our online portal Once logged in, They will need a valid contract number By entering a valid account number of 5555, and a system number of 001, This will generate a batch of codes for the site So, all the codes will revolve around the seed code, customer account number and the system number The unique codes generated will be G2 & G3 Intruder, Both 4 & 6 Digit along with random codes other scopes we provide This is a typical output it will provide; G2 IAS - 2598 G3 IAS - 157956 Access - 8768 CCTV - 6587 Every action from the point of the login screen is logged by the server, Any code outputs for high value sites will be denied depending on engineer rights Once its finished, I will upload a small video of it for your opinions, But I think it will more than do the job I need Edited July 14, 2015 by PSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Also forgot to add, That it will check the account number to see if its currently in an active maintenance agreement If its valid, it will issue the codes out, If its our of warranty or out of contract then it can only be generated by the office or my master user rights This is something I wanted adding in, to make sure that there are no naughty foreigners or backhanders being done without me knowing about it.

timmo66 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Brilliant. So when an engineer returns to site for a service visit, he inputs the seed code and the account number and it spits out the engineer code? How does the engineer know the seed code?
