My first Android project


 

After looking through simpl and vtpro, I can't seem to find the appropriate symbols and panel type. In simpl I find a number of ipad/ipd/iphone Ethernet devices but no "Mobile pro" device or a reference to Android. In VTpro I can save as several typesof mobile pro projects but they all say iphone/ipad in the descriptions, again I can't find any reference to Android. My Crestron database is dated 5/2012 (31.00.004.00) and device database is 9/2012 (45.00.019.00). I figure they are new enough since the Android app came out in late 2011??

I find references on this group for using the ipad symbol for android too but can not confirm that is correct and I like many others just get an "invalid port" error when I try using any of the above combinations.

Could someone clarify exactly what is needed to setup an Android app, exactly which symbols and panel type to select?

Thanks for any help in advance,
GG


 

In programming, Android devices are setup exactly like iOS devices. In Simpl,
use the Crestron Mobile touchpanel symbol. In VtPro, you can either use Mobile,
Mobile Pro, or "for Phones" for iPhones or Android phones - the latter allows
custom resolutions to accommodate the various Android screen sizes. Similarly
for tablets, you can use Mobile G, Mobile Pro G, or "for Tablets" - all will
work. But again, only the "for Phones" and "for Tablets" panel types allow
resolutions other than iPhone or iPad standard.

That's good to know. Thanks Tony. I wish we had a forum where we could make
this post "sticky". I've always wondered the differences but they all
seemed to work so I just pick the shortest one.

Thank you Tony Golden! You gave me the clue I needed, that the Mobile pro symbol was under Ethernet touch panels. I looked all over simpl and just could not find it. Once I used that symbol everything worked perfect!

Thanks again,
GG
