Android app lost? #130

Open RC-Thoughts opened 5 years ago

RC-Thoughts commented 5 years ago

Hi guys!

Cannot find the Android app? iOS app is installed and works but would need the Android for the field-tablet?

Any advice?

johncclayton commented 5 years ago

Google revoked it from the store a while back and we've not had time to put it back. We are moving in that direction though. Can't provide a time frame unfortunately as I'm presently not working on it a lot due to other commitments. I know Neil was musing about trying to bring this all into the existing build chain in a similar way that is presently being done for iOS.

Could you send the apk?

johncclayton commented 5 years ago

IF I had it! Really sorry - right now I only just today looked at the dev environment again because I want to ditch the whole docker side of the setup (belief that it introduces too much complexity and makes setup harder. With a PyPi based install we can hit production + testing setup with a single distribution style).

I don’t have the latest Ionic 4 stuff on my systems yet – I pinged Neil; he’s working on upgrading all the web UI stuff to Ionic 4, should expect some really nice improvements to the flow of information there. But he is asleep right now – so I’m gonna have to wait.

What are you putting together? I’m curious – want to tell me more?

Too bad, I'll wait for Neil to chime in :)

I'm making a very minimalistic charger-case with 308 Duo and Electric, I'll try to get the RFID to work on that (on both channels, separately) in the future but at the moment goal is to get the case up and running. I have a extra Android tablet I'd like to use for this, would be attached to lid of the case.

iPhone-usage is a working workaround for the time being of course.

The field-operation part is a bit mystery to me. If I would have the phone connected to Electric Wifi then I'm not able to use internet on the phone. So I made the Electric to connect to phone's hotspot and that works as long as I don't move too far from the case. If I move too far and the hotspot-connection between case and phone breaks electric apparently does not continuously search for it, I need to restart raspi to get it back up to phone hotspot.

Simple solution would be to run "if no network then try to reconnect..:" but not sure if that would break the app's network wizard somehow?

But yeah, will be a nifty little solution, I'll get the whole thing up and running (basically does that already, works great!) and then I'll dig into it and see how it works and go from there :)

I'll promise to post some pics later when hardware is done, so far electronics are on the table, working :)

At this point I'd like to say a big thanks for a truly great work! Installation was so smooth and easy, really fun to play around with!

Did a ugly bash-script, checks for correct SSID, if no found wait's a little to check again. If found re-connects. If already connected wait's a while.

RC-Thoughts commented 5 years ago

`#!/usr/bin/env bash

Get values

ssid="xxxxxxx" #Set your SSID here

while : do status=$(iwgetid -r) if [ "$ssid" = "$status" ] then sleep 5

echo "Connected"

else while : do if [ $(iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID | grep $ssid) ] then

echo "Network found, reconnecting..."

ifdown wlan0 >/dev/null 2>&1 && ifup wlan0 >/dev/null 2>&1 && sleep 30
break

else sleep 5

echo "Waiting for correct network"

fi done fi done`

And no, I'm not a coder :)

Er. Hmm. Ponder. I setup the default pi Electric network as a bridge. From memory. Ah. Right. Yes. So, it works from home, since you have phone -> Electric -> pi3 -> -> internet. Yes. No internet at the field. I do recall someone else messing with this and an associated note in GH, but I’ve not looked at it yet.

Messing with networking won’t break the wizard. Maybe. The wizard might just overwrite any changes you make to things like wpa_supplicant tho.

If however you can get it to work, and you don’t use the wiz, everything should continue to work. The wiz is the only thing that rewrites config files.

Basically, if you can connect to it over some kind of ethernet, it should work.
