[Xerte] Re: Android App

[Julian Tenney]

Hi,

I'm currently working on an android app, built using Xerte 3.0 (i.e. using the Flex SDK). It's pretty embryonic right now: the app loads up content from a xerte online toolkits installation, and renders it on the phone: I should have a rough prototype for people to start messing about with at the end of this week.

Tell me more about how you anticipate your app working? What will do / how will it work? Do you expect it to handle content made using Xerte Online Toolkits, or native Xerte rlo code?

It would make a nice project, and is do-able, depending on what you want to do.

One nice thing would be to develop a custom template, so that authors can create data for your app to consume: then you could do something custom...

Happy to help you develop your ideas,

J

Subject: [Xerte] Android App

Hi,

I'm a 4th year Computer Science student at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and am currently looking at the possibility of creating an android app which would allow viewing of Xerte projects (instead of using a browser) and possibly creating (although I'm not sure of the complexity that would involve) for my Honors project.

Are there any current developers looking into this? Do you think it would be a worthy investment of my time? And finally, Will the project be do-able, as a solo project over around 5-6 months?

Many Thanks for any replies,
David
