Android Driver Station

Tried it on our bot from last year, worked great except for difficulty turning. I think a second joystick on the screen would be great so we could use drive modes that require two.

I am actually working on bluetooth control but I was just going to have two phones connect so you could have two people controlling the robot!

I'm rewriting the app with a more readable structure, when I'm finished I'll open source it and anyone can help add those extra features. Also you may have noticed how empty the ui is on large devices, once I get video working I want to put it in the background of the driving view.

I added another joystick and got the buttons to work, but I'm not sure if it uploaded correctly so let me know if it is the same as before. Here is the link so you don't have to go back: https://github.com/raystubbs/Android-Driverstation


Also I haven't tested the second joystick since we don't have tank drive on or robot, so let me know if that works.

Getting a, there is a problem parsing the package, error when trying to install.

I too am getting the error.

Btw, thanks again for your work on this, and for sharing with the CD community.

Is an older version already installed? If so, uninstall the old and then install the new.

I tried doing this, still getting the same exact error.

Sorry about this, I forgot to change the version number before compiling the app so I tried doing it manually. This is probably what caused the error. I'll recompile it and re-upload it as soon as I can (I don't always have internet access at home so that might be tomorow at school or it might be tonight), I'll post whenever this happens to let you know.

I re-uploaded the app, but I'm still learning how to use git, so I may have made a mistake in the upload, let me know if I have please. Here is the link: https://github.com/raystubbs/Android...on/tree/master

I can confirm it installs, and runs, on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. Phone model: HTC One XL

Great job on the app, by the way.

As I can only offer suggestions, I have no experience with Android apps, offer a settings page to setup joystick configuration. So instead of two separate joysticks, one joystick with 2 axes. (like an xbox controller)

Thanks, thats a good suggestion, I should have thought of it since that is how all of the other joysticks work.

Going to try and test this out later. You should look into adding support for controllers. Would mean we still have full control but don't have to haul a laptop around.
