This is mostly just a proof-of-concept. The underlying libraries work, but it lacks a user interface.

Progress:

• Ported the following libraries to Android:
  • libgpg-error
  • libgcrypt
  • gnutls
  • glib
  • libxml2
  • meanwhile
  • libotr
  • libpurple
• Frontend/glue layer:
  • The "null" test client works connecting to ICQ/MSN/AIM at least.
  • The dispatch layer needs to be expanded. dispatch.cpp provides a general mechanism for turning libpurple events into Android intents.
  • A mechanism to initiate events from the frontend to libpurple needs to be created, likely using JNI.
  • Most importantly a GUI needs to be created.

Planned features:

• Compressed libraries and resources (using libtar and xz-embedded)
• File transfers
  • Restricted to /sdcard?
  • Have quick links for pictures, music, videos, etc...
• Setting of display picture
• Off-the-record (libotr)?
• Add/remove/rename contacts
• Small memory footprint (< 5 MB)
• Small disk footprint (< 4 MB)
• Compressed .so's on disk - decompress to /data
• Vibrate/beep on new message (but not if active window and not idle)
• Encryption (SSL, TLS)
• Video and audio chat (dependent on pidgin getting these)
• Additional plugin support (via a plugin provider)

Protocols:

• ICQ
• AIM
• Gadu-Gadu
• Google Talk
• GroupWise
• ICQ
• IRC
• MSN
• MySpaceIM
• QQ
• SILC (TODO)
• SIMPLE
• Sametime
• XMPP / Jabber
• Yahoo
• Zephyr
