Saferoom, a storage for passwords

Saferoom - Splash I’ve been a bit busy on various projects but finally I was able to publish a new mobile application called “Saferoom”. The Saferoom is an application that can store your passwords and usernames for various services. User needs to memorize one main password that is used to encrypt the data using the RC4 algorithm. RC4 algorithm might not be a safest one to use but it should be enough to keep your data safe from a common pickpocket.

There is a source code available along with the NetBeans IDE 5.0 project files. I tried to use the new “WaitScreen” component with the implemented Executable class but I wasn’t able to get it Saferoom Flowworking as it didn’t seem to call the Executable’s execute method when the screen was activated. I left the WaitScreen component in the flow as it makes the flow more readable for others.

Edit, April 4th: The WaitScreen component seems to be working as expected. I’m going to start using it in the next release.

    Hi - I’m actually the one who created the WaitScreen component and its support in the visual designer. I’m sorry the WaitScreen doesn’t work as it should and I would like to know more details about your application to be able to help here. The source code of the app would help a lot. So if you would like to solve the problem, please contact me either directly or file an issue to NetBeans issuezilla (component 3rd-party, subcomponent mobility pack). Thanks. B.

    Thanks for the response, Martin. You NetBeans people are always fast to react :)
    Today I made a small test program to properly test the WaitScreen component and this time it did work as expected. The application called the SimpleCancellableTask’s executable method without a problem. The problem in the Saferoom application might have been caused by the fact that I started to develope it with the early nightly builds of NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.0. But as mentioned above it seems to be working now and I’ll most definetly be using your WaitScreen component in the future projects :) Thanks again for your support.
