I thought that Proxmox has a web portal where people login and can click to
obtain a console.vv file for their VM(s). I guess I was wrong.

My app is not a web client. It is composed of spice-gtk, libgovirt, a bunch
of supporting libraries, and a UI for Android written in Java.

Then I'd have to add support for your API which I wasn't planning to. Is
there a client library that is portable to Android I can use for the
purpose? If not, support for the API may be some time away!

Sorry, I was given the impression (by people I thought were Proxmox users)
that all I'd need to do to support Proxmox was to add support for .vv
files. I thought they can login to a web interface, with their mobile
browser, and obtain a .vv file from there. Once the file is downloaded, one
can "open" it on Android, and it would launch Opaque seamlessly.

If you're willing to support that scenario, then we're in business! I've
tested it with my oVirt environment (which permits me to acquire a .vv file
through its web interface, and also has an API I support).

Cheers and thanks!
