Tango and Android - TANGO Controls

# 7 years ago
giacomos	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

Ingvord	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: - Web Jive - Tango webapp template from Solaris There is also TangORB compiled for Android: available here Regards, Ingvord Edited 7 years ago

Hi,

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:

- Web Jive
- Tango webapp template from Solaris

There is also TangORB compiled for Android: available here

giacomo	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

Ingvord	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.
