[Xerte] Android App extension

[David Wood]

Hi All,

I am a Computer Science student at Heriot-Watt University. For my 4th
year honors project I have been investigating how to extend the Xerte
Mobile App to *create* new Learning materials and view these.

If anyone is interested in having a look at a fairly simple system which
allows the creation of text pages / text and graphic / text and video, and
also the viewing of these pages either individually or by slideshow. I
would be grateful for *any* feedback (even just what you think of the
screen shots) via this thread or personally by email at
david2009wood at gmail.com

Android is capable of much much more, sadly I had time constraints which
stopped my diving in deeper, I intend to explore it's uses for interactive
quizzes, games / animations etc and text editors perhaps in the future.

The best place to start would be creating a new Learning Object and adding
a space, inside the space is where one makes pages and go from there!.

Note this is developed from an older version of Xerte Mobile so does look
slightly different from the newest available version.

In your app browser the app will be named 'Main' and have a default android
icon.

I will attach the .apk to this email.

In your phone app browser it will be named 'Main' and have a default icon

Many thanks!
