Tango and Android

General Other

Hello everyone.
I would like to know the status of the development of the Tango interface to Android devices.
I am aware of

https://bitbucket.org/hzgwpn/mtango/wiki/mTango%20REST%20API

Is it the only solution?
Are there any examples of usage (clients using REST, jsTangoORB, mTangoUI)?

Is there any app for android/ios realised with Cordova?

Thanks for any hint.

Giacomo, Elettra

Hi,

There is new version of REST API - RC3. Unfortunately, I had no time to upgrade mTangoUI nor jsTangORB, but these libraries should work fine with mtango.server-RC2-0.4.

There is a project mTangoTest, i.e. mobile client for TangoTest via REST: how to setup on the mTango wiki (build using cordova)

And there is also a mStatusServer application, which is specific to our institute, i.e. requires some non trivial setup (again build using cordova).

There is a couple of web projects that use REST API and can be used on the android via browser:

There is also TangORB compiled for Android: available here

Ingvord

Hello Ingvord and thanks for your reply.
Is there a link to a page where I can read some information / documentation about TangoORB for Android?
For example, is it just enough to include it into an android project as a dependency library?
Is the jar maintained and updated?
Is there and example using TangoORB for android (a simple android app) ?

Thanks
Regards
Giacomo

Hi,

I do not know about the documentation. To develop an application it is straightforward:

you just add TangORB-android.jar to the libs of the Android app and use it as you would use TangORB.
