Gallery on Android

You can download an app onto your Android based phone which gives good integration with the JowettGallery.
Regalandroid
Go here to download the app.
Once installed, open the app, click the left button and choose settings.
Change or select the following.
Gallery type = Gallery2
Gallery Url= http://jowett.net/gallery
Username= 'your username'
password= 'Your password'
Regal Android path = wherever you want to store data . Mine defaulted to the SD card.
RegalAndroidTempPath= usually leave as default.
Then return to the Regalandroid home screen and click 'enter gallery'. This should take to the Gallery home page. Then navigate to your home album via the 'Personal albums' folder. Unfortunately this app does not display in the explorer view but in historical order, so you need to scroll down to find your personal album.
Once you have located your album (or a TOPIC legacy project album) you can upload from your picture albums on the Android or can directly load from your camera.
Touch the left button and a menu will appear. Touch 'camera', take photo, and 'send'. you can then change the filename before uploading and choose the destination album (once again the app displays all the albums, not just the ones you have access to, so is a pain). If you do try upload to an album into which you do not have permission to do so, the system will respond with an error saying it was sent but not uploaded.
You can also create new subalbums in the selected album.
Touching the left button when a picture is displayed allows more actions.
Advanced options allows viewing with other apps and I found displayed some pictures that did not appear with Regalandroid.
Use with Android Gallery app.
Regalandroid is integrated with the Android Gallery app so that you can upload not only single photos but also multiple ones by ticking the desired photos and then sharing them using Regalandroid. (the crowned android icon)
TOPIC This album was so created and populated in just a couple of minutes with nine 3Megapixel images.
Integration with other apps
The app also allows the same multiple upload with other apps that have the 'share' facility such as 'My files'.
