A proof of concept of custom button and layout for mobile app. From image, you could see it s easier to turn on off left, right panel, edit node, actions that so painful on mobile (from my own experience)
I also successfully hook RED object to call out action, not emulate by DOM. That mean we can do tons of thing to make mobile life better
With regard to the middleware, your readme says "Open file, change username and password to what you want", but I notice that there is a url hardcoded in the middleware - http://cloudred.cc/api/user/validate that isn't referenced, what is that for?
Also, how do you get the app on a android phone? I'm not familiar with installing apps other than via the play store.
That is comment out in tokenValidate function. I leave that function there so if anyone want to do 3rd party authentication, it is a good example
Also in the first line of middleware js file, I explain what this mean:
In case you want to rewrite authentication and user 3rd party authentication system (oAuth, Twitter...), uncomment tokenValidate function and rewrite
For installation on android, just download apk in release of github and install (may need accept trust source if you first install an apk)
Installed and can now access both editor & dashboard from the app.
It renders the dashboard nicely, fully fitting the screen size with no borders, etc.
I'm not sure how much functionality you have put into the current apk release, but the EDIT, +NODE & INFO buttons are not working for me.
@Paul-Reed I made some fix, so maybe you are cached the old js (Android will encounter this)
You should make sure your UI is like my screenshot, so you are loading the newest js injection file
Most definately not. I just mentioned it. I can completely understand the wish to use NR's own dashboard for multiple reasons even if I'm not using it myself. 
Yes, that is better, your fix has enabled the buttons to work now, and I am getting a similar view to you (in fact better! as mine is totally full screen).
I'm really liking this so far, and starting to see the benefits, especially when using the editor.
Make progress today, alot of tweak to inject layout and button
Succesfully add Location Tracking with tool to auto create Location Node. From Debug info below, you could see lat and long sent directly from app. I have checked reverse data and it is my correct position
Need to work more with location watch, also think about a button to quick add node for drawing world map for current position
When I use 'CREATE LOCATION NODES', this is what I get;
Is there a certain node that I need to add to my palette, if so, which node is it?
EDIT - OK I found out the hard way that node-red-contrib-ip is the missing node, and needs to be added to the palette first.
But the imported flow just contains an inject node and the IP node, which returns the public IPv4 address of the node-RED server. What else is needed to obtain the phone's location?
Can you share the flow?
Crazy project ... I love it 
What I was wondering is, whether it would at all be possible to integrate in such app the option to auto connect to a VPN of choice or zerotier or? Something that would make the use of such app on the road less a hassle for non-IT-dashboard users.
Anyway. I really like what you are doing here!
Sounds like a bad case of feature creep. 
I'm not the developer but I doubt this would be possible or at least simple given the countless VPN apps available for Android at least.
What you could possibly be able to do though is to use one of the automation apps available on Play Store to create a custom home screen icon which would start the VPN app first. It's been years since I used such an app so this is just a guess.
I am having this "idea" for some time now ... your proposed workaround works for both, Android (Task-something) and ios (.mobileconfig). Neither of them is really "easy".
Well neither is setting up Node-RED to do something useful for a complete layman. 
@Paul-Reed sorry this feature need a new release, will make a new one at weekend with more features
@jodelkoenig i dont think I will support VPN, it is out of the box
When showering today, I come with a crazy idea for semi-wysiwyg dashboard. That mean we could see dashboard, click on object to edit and see update. I make quick prototype and It works. This is the biggest achievement until now.
Workflow could be explained:
1.Dashboard show inside admin, I call this “editor mode“
2. Border appear for all dashboard object, so you could differ object
3. Click on object, search open and find, if found object, automatically open edit panel.
You need to re-deploy after edit, that is why I call semi-wysiwyg . However, this process could be also automate after edit object, that mean we have a WYSIWYG dashboard editor
PS: Until now, project become a UI hack with jQuery spaghetti code, with most of work done in js injection file. I think that is good because everyone not to be limited by app code, could modify injection JS file for more suitable mobile UI
With help of @dceejay, I successfully make click and edit working, not prototype anymore, making first step of a wysiwyg editor for NR
Release 0.0.2 today, features
UPDATE information 18 October, 0.0.2 release
Features from previous build
Visit first post for more information and screenshot. I also want to inform that: I embed succesfully drag and drop to Dashboard Editor mode. A lot of work need to do, but at least I have a start point and how to do
This is awesome stuff... Really nice piece of software!
Problems with the new release on Android;
When running the app I get this error -
(and yes, I allowed location permission)
followed by -
and then I get continual pop-ups -
The lat & lon are correct for my location.
EDIT - should the URL in the http in node start with a slash = /location? I thought it would simply be location, although I may be wrong.
