Preparing a development environment #8

Closed juasiepo closed 4 years ago

juasiepo commented 4 years ago

I have the testapp running in my mobile phone and it can connect to the server.go successfully

Now I am preparing a development environment. While trying to launch the testapp on my linux box I get the main window successfully but when I click on connect button I get the following error: " File "/home/juan/git/able/.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/able/dispatcher.py", line 14, in getattr raise Exception(self.msg) Exception: BLE is not implemented for platform " It makes sense as the BLE is expected to work with the Android Bluetooth Low Energy API.

The other option I am implementing to create a development environment is to install the kivy-remote-shell on my android phone so I will get a python with all the libraries that will allow me to run quick tests. But for the moment I am having some issues installing it.

Any Idea about how to create a development environment?

Thanks for your time

I plan to add something like a Kivy Launcher with BLE support, but can't recommend any convenient option so far.

One more option I use is granting storage permission to application, and running scripts from SDCard, like

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/sdcard1/scripts')
import myscript

I don't get your point with the import approach.

Do I need a python3 interpreter installed on my android phone? Can you elaborate a little bit more?

Thanks for your time

Yes, I meant running the testapp on Android device. And importing modules with test cases located in the SDCard from this app.
