LinuxMCE Orbiter for Android
This wiki page serves 2 purposes: To serve as an intermediate install guide for the Android LinuxMCE Orbiter, and to serve as a point of reference for future developers.
History
The Android orbiter is the result of a very tricky process. We utilize the LinuxMCE libraries, qt libraries, and wrap them inside java for execution on the Android device. Besides using vanilla Qt Creator, we also utilize Neccesitas, a cross platform compiler that takes the Native c++ and wraps it for executing inside the Android JNI
Installation
Please note, you will need 50mb of storage space on the devices internal storage. NOT the sd card. You will also need to install via wifi!!
- Download the testing apk: Http://www.lasmarthomes.com/Qorbiter-release.apk
- Install the .apk
- When it is finished, it will ask you for to download Ministro II. Do this and let it finish.
QOrbiter is now installed!
Configuration
You will need to prepare for the addition of the device to your system before it can be used by following these steps.
- Create a new QOrbiter device as a child of the core. MAKE SURE to set the default user and location. Make a note of the device number
- Quick Reload the router when asked.
- Generate the orbiter config by visiting this page http://<you-core-address>/lmce-admin/qOrbiterGenerator.php?d=<the-device-number>
Now you will need to decide on a skin. Eventually, this will be a cleaner process. For the moment, it isnt :)
- You will need to create a directory on the core at /var/www/lmce-admin/skins
Phones You will need to svn co the android phone skin.
- Navigate via command line to /var/www/lmce-admin/skins
- run the following command: svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/qorbiter/qOrbiter_src/qml
- this will download the skins to the proper location.
