Hello, I’ve installed the PhoneTrack app in my Nextcloud and PhoneTrack app on Android (from F-Droid). Then I go into settings on the Android app and enter my Nextcloud URL, login and app password (created for it). But then I got an error, suggesting if I have installed the app in Nextcloud… What did I missed ? Do I have to set something on Nextcloud first ?
Hi, we need to know your PhoneTrack-Nextcloud and PhoneTrack-Android versions.
Are you sure you actually enabled PhoneTrack in Nextcloud ?
Are you sure there is no group restriction on PhoneTrack in your Nextcloud instance ?
When the error message “is the PhoneTrack app activated on the server?” is displayed, a detailed error is printed in the Android app log. It would be helpful if you could get those logs with adb logcat.
Thanks for the help. Android app is 0.0.8, Nextcloud app is 0.2.8 and Nextcloud is version 13.0.2. I can use the web app PhoneTrack on my Nextcloud user account, I can load a GPX file and see it on the map, so I’m sure there is no group restriction.

02-13 13:21:07.454 E/PhoneTrack(16908): invalid loginAre you sure the login/password you entered in PhoneTrack-Android are correct ? 
When exactly does the error show up ? In the account setting screen when you press “connect” ?
The Android app sends a request to the Nextcloud app API to check login validity. The answer should be a JSON array which contains the user ID. In your case, the answer is a string. This string is probably an HTML page describing the error on the server side. As it is truncated in Android logs, i can’t figure out what happens…
It would help to see this error string. I guess a simple way to get it is to make a manual request with curl or wget with a computer :
curl --basic -u username:password https://yournextcloud.org/index.php/apps/phonetrack/api/ping -i
I got a 404 error…
Sorry, we could have make this investigation much shorter. You need an up to date PhoneTrack-Nextcloud to use PhoneTrack-Android… In version 0.2.8, api/ping does not exist
Your problem is that last PhoneTrack versions are compatible with NC>=14.
