I'm still lagging one generation behind Google's UI redesigns,<br>but the app got action bars and new menus, making it possible to operate<br>it on Samsung's Galaxy S5 and other modern devices.<br><br>The most important (though absolutely unnoticeable) change is the<br>addition of an inter-app API. There were many requests to add features<br>to APRSdroid that go beyond the regular use cases. Instead of adding<br>more and more complex options to the app, I've opted to make it possible<br>for everybody to write their own applications. The API is designed to<br>cover at least the following use cases:<br><br> * Handling of special APRS comms types (like displaying of bulletin<br> boards, weather/telemetry, ...)<br> * Additional user interaction (the example app APRSdroid Speaker will<br> read out aloud positions and messages, other uses are possible)<br> * Programmatically starting / stopping APRSdroid (e.g from Tasker)<br><br>It should also be flexible enough to do balloon chases, to make a<br>full-fledged mobile weather station (my CC2650 is ordered), or to<br>perform tasks I never have thought about.<br><br>The full documentation is available in the project source:<br><a href="https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid/blob/master/doc/API.mdwn" target="_blank">https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid/blob/master/doc/API.mdwn</a><br><br>The example application (APRSdroid Speaker) can be downloaded here:<br><a href="http://aprsdroid.org/download/builds/Speaker-gl-2015-04-03.apk" target="_blank">http://aprsdroid.org/download/builds/Speaker-gl-2015-04-03.apk</a><br><a href="https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid-speaker" target="_blank">https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid-speaker </a>(Source code)<br><br><br>Happy Easter,<br><br>Georg DO1GL<br>-- <br>APRSdroid - Open Source APRS Client for Android | <a href="http://aprsdroid.org/m" target="_blank">http://aprsdroid.org/m</a><br><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.aprsdroid.app" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.aprsdroid.app </a>| @APRSdroid<br>_______________________________________________<br>aprssig mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:aprssig@tapr.org" href="mailto:aprssig@tapr.org">aprssig@tapr.org</a><br><a href="http://www.tapr.org/mailman/listinfo/aprssig" target="_blank">http://www.tapr.org/mailman/listinfo/aprssig</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
