MMobile for Android

Mobile Car Configurator for Android, to be used in project SysPlace demo case. Implements the look & feel of a corresponding iOS app with which it can interact. Unless otherwise stated, all communication is performed via RESTful JSON operations using a central server (which can be configured at runtime).

Features

• Receives Swipe events from iOS instances of the MMobile App and changes the color accordingly
  • polls server for key cas_mmobile_swipe_data every 150ms
  • if swipe data was returned, the key is cleared on the server by setting it to "" (so it processes the swipe only once)
• Allows for changing the color
  • updates key config-cas with the current color
• Performs contious background scan for eddystone beacons and notices entry and exit of a configured beacon range
  • On entry:
    1. CAVE is notified of entry, a car is shown with the corresponding color (UDP packet containing json {'color':'<color>', 'inside':true} is sent to CAVE server)
    2. Key personal_profile is updated with the current Personal Profile (can be configured inside the app and consists of name, age and gender)
  • On exit: CAVE is notified of exit, the car will be removed (UDP packet containing json {'color':'<color>', 'inside':true} is sent to CAVE server)

Configuration

Compile time:

• private final double THRESHOLD: Defines the threshold distance to the configured eddystone beacon. If the current distance drops below THRESHOLD, an entry event is generated, otherwise an exit event. The distance is measured every 500ms, every 5 measurements an arithmetic mean is calculated and compared to THRESHOLD, so it takes at least 2.5s to recognize entry into or exit from the beacon range / CAVE
• private final double DEBUG: Set to true to display Toasts with fired events for on-screen debugging

Run time:

• At run time, the last screen ("Einstellungen") allows configuration of the IP and Port of the RESTful JSON server
