On: OwnTracks: Self-hosted, open source location track...

I dont know where to configure the URL in the android app. The description of the Backend says:

"Step 2: Configure the app

Tap the i icon in the top left and tap "Settings". In the URL field, enter:"

But there is no "i" icon and no Settings tap. There is a menu button and in the preferences I can choose a mode between public, hosted and private.

I tried to use the supplied URL in the Host setting, but the Owntracks app complains that the settings are incomplete.

Any help appreciated.

HTTP mode is not yet available in our Android version; it's iOS only at the moment, but we hope to have HTTP mode on Android soon.

I see it referenced in the commits [0], so I assume documentation is ahead of the published version.

Indeed. As it says, I'm preparing HTTP mode for Android at the moment.

Looking forward to it. Thank you for your good work!

Sorry about that! I mistakenly assumed the settings UI would be the same between Android and iOS. I don't have an Android device handy, but will try to hunt one down and get the instructions updated.
