Alfred Mobile - Ready to Build!

🎉 Implementation Complete!

The Android app is fully implemented with OAuth authentication. No secrets are committed to git!


📦 What's Done

Backend (All Working)

  1. OpenClaw on localhost (loopback)
  2. Alfred Proxy running (port 18790)
  3. HAProxy configured (alfred-app.dnspegasus.net)
  4. Authentik OAuth provider created
  5. Windows firewall opened
  6. All connections tested

Android App (Ready to Build)

  1. OAuth authentication flow
  2. Login screen
  3. Token management
  4. Secure storage (SharedPreferences)
  5. OAuth callback handling
  6. Main screen placeholder
  7. Secrets in gitignored secrets.properties

🔐 Security - No Secrets in Git!

How it works:

  1. secrets.properties (gitignored) stores your secrets:

    AUTHENTIK_CLIENT_ID=QeSNaZPqZUz5pPClZMA2bakSsddkStiEhqbE4QZR
    GATEWAY_URL=wss://alfred-app.dnspegasus.net
    ...
    
  2. Build system (app/build.gradle.kts) reads secrets and injects into BuildConfig

  3. Code references BuildConfig.AUTHENTIK_CLIENT_ID (not hardcoded)

  4. .gitignore excludes:

    • secrets.properties
    • app/google-services.json
    • app/src/main/res/values/secrets.xml
    • build/ directories (where BuildConfig lives)

Verify nothing secret is committed:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/alfred-mobile
git status | grep secret
# (should show nothing)

🚀 Build Instructions

Step 1: Install Java 17

See SETUP_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT.md for detailed instructions.

Quick option (SDKMAN):

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
sdk install java 17.0.9-tem
java -version

Step 2: Build the APK

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/alfred-mobile

# Build (first run takes 5-10 minutes)
./gradlew assembleDebug

# Output location
ls -lh app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

Step 3: Install on Tablet

# Enable USB debugging on tablet first
# Settings → About → Tap "Build number" 7 times
# Settings → Developer options → USB debugging → ON

# Connect via USB and install
adb devices
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

🧪 Testing OAuth Flow

1. Launch App

  • Tap Alfred icon
  • Should see login screen with "Sign in with Authentik" button

2. Login

  1. Tap "Sign in with Authentik"
  2. Browser opens to https://auth.dnspegasus.net
  3. Enter your credentials
  4. Tap "Sign in"
  5. Browser redirects: alfredmobile://oauth/callback
  6. App intercepts redirect
  7. Token exchange happens automatically
  8. Should see toast: "Login successful!"
  9. Main screen appears

3. Verify Logs (Desktop)

Monitor proxy:

journalctl --user -u alfred-proxy.service -f

Expected:

[proxy] New connection from <tablet-ip>
[auth] Token validated for user: <your-email>

Monitor Android logs:

adb logcat | grep -E "AuthManager|OAuthCallback|Alfred"

Expected:

AuthManager: Starting OAuth login flow
OAuthCallback: Received OAuth callback
AuthManager: Token exchange successful
OAuthCallback: Login successful!

🎯 What Works Right Now

After login:

  • OAuth authentication
  • Token storage
  • Token validation with Authentik
  • Main screen (placeholder)
  • Logout functionality

What's Next:

  • WebSocket connection to Alfred (coming next)
  • Chat UI
  • Voice input
  • Lists, timers, notes

🐛 Common Issues & Solutions

"No browser available"

Problem: Tablet doesn't have Chrome/browser installed

Solution: Install browser:

# If you have Chrome APK
adb install chrome.apk

"Invalid redirect URI"

Problem: Authentik OAuth provider missing redirect URI

Solution:

  1. Log into Authentik admin
  2. Go to your OAuth provider
  3. Add alfredmobile://oauth/callback to Redirect URIs
  4. Save

"Build failed: JAVA_HOME not set"

Problem: Java not installed

Solution: Follow SETUP_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT.md

"Token exchange failed"

Problem: Client ID mismatch

Solution:

  1. Verify secrets.properties has correct Client ID
  2. Rebuild: ./gradlew clean assembleDebug
  3. Reinstall APK

📊 Backend Status

All backend components are running and tested:

# Proxy health
curl http://localhost:18790/health
# {"status":"ok","service":"alfred-proxy"}

# HAProxy connection
ssh root@192.168.1.20 'curl -s http://192.168.1.169:18790/health'
# {"status":"ok","service":"alfred-proxy"}

# OpenClaw
openclaw config get gateway.bind
# "loopback"

Proxy is running and monitoring:

journalctl --user -u alfred-proxy.service -f

🎓 How Authentication Works

User taps "Sign in"
    ↓
Browser opens → Authentik (auth.dnspegasus.net)
    ↓
User enters credentials
    ↓
Authentik validates
    ↓
Browser redirects: alfredmobile://oauth/callback?code=ABC123
    ↓
Android intercepts (intent-filter in manifest)
    ↓
OAuthCallbackActivity receives Intent
    ↓
AuthManager.handleAuthResponse(intent)
    ↓
Exchange authorization code for access token
    - POST to https://auth.dnspegasus.net/application/o/token/
    - Client ID: QeSNaZPqZUz5pPClZMA2bakSsddkStiEhqbE4QZR
    - Code: ABC123
    ↓
Authentik returns:
    - access_token
    - refresh_token
    - id_token
    - expires_in
    ↓
AuthManager saves to SharedPreferences (MODE_PRIVATE)
    ↓
Navigate to MainScreen
    ↓
Show "Login successful!" toast
    ↓
✅ User is logged in!

Next connection (WebSocket):

App → wss://alfred-app.dnspegasus.net
      Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
    ↓
HAProxy → 192.168.1.169:18790 (proxy)
    ↓
Proxy validates token with Authentik
    GET /application/o/userinfo/
    Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
    ↓
Authentik returns user info
    ↓
Proxy connects to OpenClaw (localhost:18789)
    Injects gateway token
    ↓
OpenClaw accepts
    ↓
✅ Bidirectional WebSocket established!
