Defining pages for Deep OBD for BMW and VAG

Each page (tab) is defined in a single XML (*.ccpage) file. A general documentation of all XML tags could be found in the BmwDeepObd.xsd file. The documentation will be displayed in the XML editor when the .xsd is added as xs:shema in the XML file.
Table of contents:

Simple jobs

If only some EDIABAS jobs with fixed arguments are required for one display page, the XML code is relatively simple. Below is the example code to display climate data for a E61 vehicle:

The page name property specifies the title of the page and is a reference to the strings nodes.
With the attribute display-mode the type of the display could be specified (list: normal text list, grid: grid view for graphical gauge display).
The attribute fontsize allows to specify the font size of the display data in three steps (small, medium and large).
The attributes gauges-portrait and gauges-landscape specify the number of gauges per line in the corresponding display mode.
With logfile a log file name could be specified, that allows to log the display data. If the symbol {D} is used inside the log file name, it will be replaced by the current date and time.
Setting the no_update property prevents the configuration generator to update the file. This is helpful if changes have been made to an auto generated configuration.
The strings nodes contains the all the string used on this display page. If the current language is not matching the lang tag, the default language (without tag) is used. The lang property could be either the short form e.g. 'de' or the long one 'de-DE'.

The jobs node groups all EDIABAS jobs to execute. The property sgbd specifies the name of the group (.grp) or the sgbd (.prg) file to use. In VAG mode the property mwtab could be used to store the file name of the associated mwtab file.
Within the jobs node multiple job nodes specify the EDIABAS jobs to execute. They contain the following properties:

  • name: Name of the job to execute
  • id: Id for job result identification. If this element is specified the result name will be: [id]#[data set index]#[result], otherwise it's: [name]#[result].
  • sgbd: Name of the SGBD file to load. This overrides the SGBD file from the jobs node. It's recommended to combine this with the id attribute.
  • fixed_func_struct_id: Fixed function structure id from the BMW database. This entry is only used by the configuration generator.
  • args_first: Allows to specify semicolon separated job arguments for the first job call.
  • args: Allows to specify semicolon separated job arguments. If this is the first call and args_first is present args_first will be used instead.
  • result: Allows to specify the required results. If omitted, all results will be generated, which may require more processing time.
  • display-order: Allows to specify the index of the display order. If omitted the default value is 0. If two values are identical, the original order is retained.
  • grid-type: If the display-mode is switched to grid, the type of display element could be specified here:
    • hidden: Nothing will be displayed.
    • text: Text only, no gauge will be displayed.
    • simple-gauge-square: A simple gauge with a square border will be displayed.
    • simple-gauge-round: A simple gauge with a round border will be displayed.
    • simple-gauge-dot: A simple gauge with a round border and a dot instead of a bar graph will be displayed.
  • min-value: For gauge views the minimum value is specified with this attribute.
  • max-value: For gauge views the maximum value is specified with this attribute.
  • log_tag=<tag name>: Adding this property allows to log the display data to a log file when activating the Log data menu in the application. The logfile property in the page node has to be specified as well to activate logging.
  • Each display node specifies one line of the display output. Name is again a reference to the text translation in the strings nodes. With result the EDIABAS job result name is selected, that contains the data. The format property allows to format the result with the EDIABAS aspiResultText format specification EDIABAS result types and formats. The page node can optionally contain display nodes like the job node. They will be only used for User defined code.
    This is how the resulting page will look like:

Climate page

Reading errors

With the read_errors node it's possible to read an error summary of all ECUs. Simply list all ECU names and the corresponding sgbd file names in a separate ecu node, like in the example below.
The errors node supports a property sgbd_functional, this specifies the SGBD for functional (gobal) error reset. If this property is specified, a button Global Error Reset button will appear.
Setting the no_update property prevents the configuration generator to update the file. This is helpful if changes have been made to an auto generated configuration.
The error message is generated by the sgbd file and is in the language of the sgbd.
The page also allows to selectively reset ECU errors.

In the ecu node the property name is a link to a string node and sgbd is the name of the sgbd file. The output looks similar to this page:

Erros E90

User defined code

If the jobs and display output is getting more complex, user defined code will be required.
In this case a C# class could be added to a code node, which defines a set of optional callback functions. If the show_warnings property is set to true, also warnings will be reported during compilation of the code.

    <code show_warnings="true">

Formatting results (FormatResult)

For special formatting of the result data, the callback FormatResult could be used. For each result of the EDIABAS results this function will be called with resultName set to the current result name. If the display node is a subnode of a job node the job name is prefixed with # as separator to the result name. If the job node contains an id attribute, the job name is <id>#<result name>. The function will be only called if there is no format property in the display node.
The textColor output could be also used for the gauge color.
Especially for gauges there is the possibility to return custom values in dataValue, if scaling is required or the result has to be converted in a double value first.
Here is an example from the motor page:

        public string FormatResult(JobReader.PageInfo pageInfo, MultiMap<string, EdiabasNet.ResultData> resultDict, string resultName, ref Android.Graphics.Color? textColor, ref double? dataValue)
        {
            string result = string.Empty;
            double value;
            bool found;

            switch (resultName)
            {
                case "STATUS_MESSWERTBLOCK_LESEN#STAT_UBATT_WERT":
                    value = ActivityMain.GetResultDouble(resultDict, resultName, 0, out found);
                    result = string.Format(ActivityMain.Culture, "{0,7:0.00}", value);
                    if (found && value < 11.0)
                    {
                        textColor = Android.Graphics.Color.Red;
                    }
                    if (!found) result = string.Empty;
                    break;

                case "STATUS_MESSWERTBLOCK_LESEN#STAT_STRECKE_SEIT_ERFOLGREICHER_REGENERATION_WERT":
                    result = string.Format(ActivityMain.Culture, "{0,6:0.0}", ActivityMain.GetResultDouble(resultDict, resultName, 0, out found) / 1000.0);
                    if (!found) result = string.Empty;
                    break;

            return result;

Formatting error results (FormatErrorResult)

For special formatting of the error result data, the callback FormatErrorResult could be used. For each error entry this function will be called with defaultMessage set to the default error message output.
Here is an example from the errors page, that adds a RPM value to the error message. You have to add a results property to the ecu node specifying the results you want to be generated by the FS_LESEN_DETAIL job.

    <read_errors>
      <ecu name="CAS" sgbd="d_cas" />
      <ecu name="DDE" sgbd="d_motor" results="F_UW_KM;F_UW_ANZ" />

Processing results (ProcessResults)

For general processing of the result data, the callback ProcessResults could be used.
In this example a notification is displayed if the battery voltage is too low.
It uses the following functions to display the notifications:

public static bool ShowNotification(Context context, int id, int priority, string title, string message, bool update = false);
public static bool HideNotification(Context context, int id);

The functions arguments are:

  • context: The current application context.
  • id: The notification id. It should be a value in the range of 0 and 9999. The same value must be used for ShowNotification and HideNotification.
  • priority: The notification priority in the range of -2 to 2.
  • title: The notification title.
  • title: The notification message.
  • update: If the notification is already displayed, it will be not updated by default. When this value is true the current notification is updated.
    <strings>
      <string name="notification_title_battery">Battery</string>
      <string name="notification_voltage_low">Voltage too low!</string>
    </strings>
    <strings lang="de">
      <string name="notification_title_battery">Batterie</string>
      <string name="notification_voltage_low">Spannung zu niedrig!</string>
    </strings>

Control output of the page (UpdateResultList)

Sometimes you want to dynamically control the number and the content of the output lines.
If the callback UpdateResultList is defined, you could directly fill the contents of the resultListAdapter which displays the results of the page. In this example from the (standard) Adapter page the adapter configuration result will be displayed. Additionally only one column for output is used by setting the second argument of resultListAdapter.Items.Add to null. With ActivityMain.GetPageString it's possible to retrieve a string from the translation table.

        public void UpdateResultList(JobReader.PageInfo pageInfo, MultiMap<string, EdiabasNet.ResultData> resultDict, List<TableResultItem> resultList)
        {
            int result = configResult;

            if (result > 0)
            {
                resultList.Add(new TableResultItem(ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "adapter_config_ok"), null));
            }
            else if (result == 0)
            {
                resultList.Add(new TableResultItem(ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "adapter_config_error"), null));
            }
        }

Executing own jobs (ExecuteJob)

If more than one job has to be executed or the job requires special arguments, ediabas.ExecuteJob could be called in the ExecuteJob callback. Here is an example from the adapter page for calling a list of jobs. EdiabasThread.MergeResultDictionarys adds the results of the current job to the internal job list. The callback ExecuteJob will be executed in it's own thread. When using ExecuteJob it's recommended to add the display nodes to the page node because no job nodes will be present.

    class PageClass
    {
        private class EdiabasJob
        {
            private string jobName;
            private string jobArgs;
            private string resultRequests;

            public EdiabasJob(string jobName, string jobArgs, string resultRequests)
            {
                this.jobName = jobName;
                this.jobArgs = jobArgs;
                this.resultRequests = resultRequests;
            }

            public string JobName
            {
                get
                {
                    return jobName;
                }
            }

            public string JobArgs
            {
                get
                {
                    return jobArgs;
                }
            }

            public string ResultRequests
            {
                get
                {
                    return resultRequests;
                }
            }
        }

        static private readonly EdiabasJob[]() jobArray =
            {
                new EdiabasJob("ADAPTER_CMD",
                    "0xFE;0xFE",
                    string.Empty
                    ),
                new EdiabasJob("ADAPTER_CMD",
                    "0x80;0x00",
                    string.Empty
                    ),
                new EdiabasJob("ADAPTER_CMD",
                    "0x81;0x00",
                    string.Empty
                    ),
                new EdiabasJob("ADAPTER_CMD",
                    "0x82;0x00",
                    string.Empty
                    ),
            };

        public void ExecuteJob(EdiabasNet ediabas, ref MultiMap<string, EdiabasNet.ResultData> resultDict, bool firstCall)
        {
            int index = 0;
            foreach (EdiabasJob job in jobArray)
            {
                ediabas.ArgString = job.JobArgs;
                ediabas.ArgBinaryStd = null;
                ediabas.ResultsRequests = job.ResultRequests;

                ediabas.ExecuteJob(job.JobName);

                List<Dictionary<string, EdiabasNet.ResultData>> resultSets = ediabas.ResultSets;
                if (resultSets != null && resultSets.Count >= 2)
                {
                    EdiabasThread.MergeResultDictionarys(ref resultDict, resultSets[1](1), string.Format("{0}_", index));
                }
                index++;
            }
        }
    }

Adding controls to the layout

The standard layout only allows to display information, but there is no way to control outputs. With the callbacks CreateLayout, DestroyLayout and UpdateLayout there is a possibility to add own controls to the layout (in most cases buttons).
In this example from the AdapterCustom.ccpage buttons will be added to control the CAN block size, CAN separation time and the CAN mode. The CreateLayout adds the controls, DestroyLayout removes the controls and UpdateLayout is used to modify the state of the controls (depending form the connection state).
For every button there is a Click delegate that allows to set a global variable which is used for EDIABAS job control.

        private Button buttonBlockSize;
        private Button buttonSepTime0;
        private Button buttonSepTime1;
        private Button buttonCan500;
        private Button buttonCan100;
        private Button buttonCanOff;
        private int adapterCmd = -1;
        private int adapterValue;
        private int blockSize = 0;

        public void CreateLayout(ActivityMain activity, JobReader.PageInfo pageInfo, LinearLayout pageLayout)
        {
            LinearLayout buttonLayout = new LinearLayout(activity);
            buttonLayout.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;

            LinearLayout.LayoutParams buttonLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent,
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent);
            buttonLayoutParams.Weight = 1;

            buttonBlockSize = new Button(activity);
            buttonBlockSize.Text = string.Format("{0}: {1}", ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_block_size"), blockSize);
            buttonBlockSize.Click += delegate
            {
                blockSize += 2;
                if (blockSize > 8)
                {
                    blockSize = 0;
                }
                adapterCmd = 0x00;
                adapterValue = blockSize;
                buttonBlockSize.Text = string.Format("{0}: {1}", ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_block_size"), blockSize);
            };
            buttonLayout.AddView(buttonBlockSize, buttonLayoutParams);

            buttonSepTime0 = new Button(activity);
            buttonSepTime0.Text = ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_sep_time0");
            buttonSepTime0.Click += delegate
            {
                adapterCmd = 0x01;
                adapterValue = 0x00;
            };
            buttonLayout.AddView(buttonSepTime0, buttonLayoutParams);

            buttonSepTime1 = new Button(activity);
            buttonSepTime1.Text = ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_sep_time1");
            buttonSepTime1.Click += delegate
            {
                adapterCmd = 0x01;
                adapterValue = 0x01;
            };
            buttonLayout.AddView(buttonSepTime1, buttonLayoutParams);

            buttonCan500 = new Button(activity);
            buttonCan500.Text = ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_can_500");
            buttonCan500.Click += delegate
            {
                adapterCmd = 0x02;
                adapterValue = 0x01;
            };
            buttonLayout.AddView(buttonCan500, buttonLayoutParams);

            buttonCan100 = new Button(activity);
            buttonCan100.Text = ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_can_100");
            buttonCan100.Click += delegate
            {
                adapterCmd = 0x02;
                adapterValue = 0x09;
            };
            buttonLayout.AddView(buttonCan100, buttonLayoutParams);

            buttonCanOff = new Button(activity);
            buttonCanOff.Text = ActivityMain.GetPageString(pageInfo, "button_adapter_config_can_off");
            buttonCanOff.Click += delegate
            {
                adapterCmd = 0x02;

                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent);
            pageLayout.AddView(buttonLayout, layoutParams);

            adapterCmd = -1;
        }

        public void DestroyLayout(JobReader.PageInfo pageInfo)
        {
            if (buttonBlockSize != null)
            {
                buttonBlockSize.Dispose();
                buttonBlockSize = null;
            }
            if (buttonSepTime0 != null)
            {
                buttonSepTime0.Dispose();
                buttonSepTime0 = null;
            }
            if (buttonSepTime1 != null)
            {

Receiving broadcasts (BroadcastReceived)

For interaction of the user code with other apps the broadcast de.holeschak.bmw_deep_obd.Action.Command could be processed by the function BroadcastReceived.
Here is an example from the axis page, that changes the axis direction with the broadcast.

    <code show_warnings="true">
      <![CDATA[
    class PageClass
    {
        public void BroadcastReceived(JobReader.PageInfo pageInfo, Android.Content.Context context, Android.Content.Intent intent)
        {
            string request = intent.GetStringExtra("custom_action");
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(request))
            {
                return;
            }
            request = request.ToLowerInvariant();
            switch (request)
            {
                case "mode_status":
                    opMode = OpModeStatus;
                    break;

                case "mode_up":
                    opMode = OpModeUp;
                    break;

                case "mode_down":
                    opMode = OpModeDown;

            }
        }
    }
      ]]>
  </code>

Grouping pages

If the same of pages are required in multiple configuration, it's useful to group the together. This could be done with *.ccpages files. Simply include the *.ccpage files within the pages node. The specified path is relative to the *.ccpages file location. The file has the following layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<fragment xmlns="http://www.holeschak.de/BmwDeepObd"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.holeschak.de/BmwDeepObd ../BmwDeepObd.xsd">
  <pages>
    <include filename="Axis.ccpage"/>
    <include filename="Motor.ccpage"/>
    <include filename="../AdapterCustom.ccpage"/>
  </pages>
</fragment>

The configuration file

Now all *.page or *.pages can be added to a configuration file *.cccfg. This file could be loaded by Deep OBD for BMW and VAG. In the global node of the file the following properties could be specified:

  • ecu_path: Directory of the ecu files (*.grp and *.prg) relative to the configuration file.
  • log_path: Directory for the data logging files. Logging could be enabled by adding a log_tag property to the display node of the *.page file. If the directory is not existing it will be created.
  • append_log: Setting this property to true will always append the log file.
  • manufacturer: Select the car manufacturer with this property. Possible values are BWM, VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda.
  • interface: Specify the communication interface in this property. Possible values are BLUETOOTH , ENET, ELMWIFI, DEEPOBDWIFI and FTDI. When using a manufacturer from the VAG group, only BLUETOOTH and DEEPOBDWIFI is allowed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns="http://www.holeschak.de/BmwDeepObd"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.holeschak.de/BmwDeepObd ../BmwDeepObd.xsd">
  <global ecu_path="../Ecu" log_path="Log" append_log="true" manufacturer="BMW" interface="BLUETOOTH" />
  <include filename="E61.ccpages"/>
</fragment>

Broadcasts

The received OBD data could be broadcasted to other apps if broadcast sending is enabled in the global settings. This way it's possible to display or process data individually.
The broadcast name is de.holeschak.bmw_deep_obd.Notification.Info. It contains the following intent data:

  • action (string): Change of operation status:
    • connect: OBD connection is connected.
    • disconnect: OBD connection is disconnected.
    • page_change: The current display page changes.
  • obd_data (string): JSON object that contains the current OBD data. It has the following format:
{
    "PageName":"<tab_name>",
    "ObdData":
    [
        {
            "Name":"<label_name 1>",
            "Result":"<job result name 1>",
            "Value":"<display value 1>"
        },
        {
            "Name":"<label_name 2>",
            "Result":"<job result name 2>",
            "Value":"<display value 2>"
        },
    ]
}

Additionally the broadcast de.holeschak.bmw_deep_obd.Action.Command could be received by the App.
The following intent data is defined:

  • action (string): Action to be processed by the app:
    • new_page:<page_name>: Switches to the new page (configuration) with the name <page_name>. <page_name> is the name in the node <page name ="page_name">.

The broadcast could be also received by the BroadcastReceived user function.

Special jobs

There are some job, that require special handling:

  • With STATUS_MESSWERTBLOCK_LESEN or STATUS_BLOCK_LESEN multiples values could be requested simultanously.
    The job requires the entries from the table MESSWERTETAB or SG_FUNKTIONEN with column ARG as arument.
    The first argument JA or NEIN specifies if the last ECU request is reused.
    The number of arguments is limited by the ECU, the typical limit is 10.
  • For reading STATUS_MESSWERTBLOCK_X the corresponding MESSWERTBLOCK_X_SCHREIBEN is to be called first once (MS450DS0.PRG only).
