Android Apps
Hi All,
We all know there are a bunch of quality aviation apps for the Iphone. Can anyone suggest any decent apps for Android phones? The "Iphone NAIPS" app is great. Would love an alternative for Android. Cheers |
I had a look at porting naips to android however all the android apps are written in java & it would take a huge amount of effort (also I'd have to buy a phone).
Also from what I have read, the android apps are quite slow since written in java and from an initial look, it is no way near as easy to set up a nice windowing system (with tabs and buttons etc). If anybody else wants to - go for it ! |
Do you know how it pulls the data from Airservices?
Maybe I could have a go at it. |
hey what about wm 6.1?? any ideas....... i about to search google
|
Sure - it gets data from airservices by pretending to be a web browser (by submitting http get/post requests) and then filtering through the HTML output and displaying what is required. Sounds like a lot of work coz it is!! Before you do that you have to login & get a session cookie which needs to be sent off with every subsequent request. A post message for a notam may look something like: MSG=00a6&AID=NOSEND&NTM=1&LOC=YSSY
you can find out what all the variables are in each page by looking through their html. Airservices have used a fairly standard scheme so you can do a lot of copy/paste to get different stuff working. Each feature (eg location briefing etc) uses a different MSG code. |
But at least there is no developers fee... (or whatever Apple calls it)
<side note> I want a Nexus One (google phone)... a gigahertz of processor. Apparently it leaves other Android phones for dead. </sidenote> |
