tl;dr: The Taverna code base is no longer maintained and is provided here for archival purposes.
From 2014 till 2020 this code base was maintained by the Apache Incubator project Apache Taverna (incubating) (see web archive and podling status).
In 2020 the Taverna community voted to retire Taverna as a project and withdraw the code base from the Apache Software Foundation.
This code base remains available under the Apache License 2.0 (see License below), but is now simply called Taverna rather than Apache Taverna (incubating).
While the code base is no longer actively maintained, Pull Requests are welcome to the GitHub organization taverna, which may infrequently be considered by remaining volunteer caretakers.
This code has not yet been formally released.
Taverna Mobile is an Android app for controlling an Taverna Server for remotely running Taverna workflows.
It can also talk to a Taverna Player.
This module was created during Google Summer of Code 2015.

gradle wrapper --gradle-version 4.10.1 to create the gradle wrapper. Do not commit the gradlew file or the gradle directory to the repository.Launch the application to get started. For first time use when the application is started, you will be prompted with tutorial screens which explains the usage of the applicationn and then you prompted to login screen. This login accepts MyExperiment accounts. You will need to first create one such account here in order to login. You can decide whether to remain logged-in or be logged-out when your session expires. You can also configure the login persistence from the settings option in the menu after you login. A successful login would lead you to a dashboard or home screen of the application. Users need to go to the settings page and configure their Taverna Player accounts and mount points to indicate which server should be used to run their workflows. This setting could change per organisation.
The dashboard has two swipeable tabs. These tabs represent screens that hosts workflow streams. once logged-in a stream of workflows should appear on the first screen(Wrofklows). The second tab holds workflows that have been favorited or saved for offline reference.
On the first tab, you could pull down to referesh initial workflows. To load more workflows, just scroll to the end of the current stream. more workflows would be loaded and added to the current ones as the user reaches the end of the current stream.
The search bar icon allows you to search and find workfows by author or by name. The results are provided in real-time in the first tab (First page).
To view details and actually run a workflow, click the view button for the given workflow. Details are fetched from myxperiment and presented on the current page. The details page has three main swipeable tabs. The second tab shows a list of the runs performed on this workflow and the last tab is for some policy information. On the first page of the details, users can initiate a workflow run, download a workflow or mark them as favorite with the appropriate button.To mark a workflow as favorite, you can just tap the favorite toggle button for the given workflow.
The navigation drawer can be pulled out from the home page by swiping the extreme left of screen across the screen. This menu contains the following items:
Taverna Mobile has further documentation about key functionalities and implementations with screenshots attached.
It has been mainly adapted for developers, however, users can get neccessary information from the quick start section of this readme.
The defaults for this applications uses a development instance of Taverna Server at University of Manchester, which might not be available.
You can start our own Taverna Server with Docker:
docker run -p 8090:8080 --name taverna-server -d taverna/taverna-server:2.5.4
And a Taverna Player:
docker run --name taverna-portal --link taverna-server:taverna -p 3000:3000 -d fbacall/taverna-player-portal
Then edit app/src/main/res/values/strings_activity_settings.xml to set:
<string name="pref_player_default"> http://example.com:3000/</string> <!-- default value --> <string name="pref_server_default"> http://example.com:8090/</string> <!-- default value -->
.. where you= replace example.com with the hostname or IP address of your server running Docker.
Note that if you are using Docker on OS X or Windows, then a Virtual Machine will run the Docker containers under a different IP address. Use docker-machine ip to check. You may have to adjust your firewalls to allow port 3000 and 8090 from the Taverna Mobile app. If you are testing from a mobile/tablet, you may have to use WiFi to get access to the Taverna Server on the local network.
You can alternatively install the Taverna Server WAR file in your favourite servlet container, e.g. Apache Tomcat - see the Taverna Server installation guide for details.
