Android labview application

[Bozidar]

Hi,

I need to build simple application for android devices. It needs to go on local disk (by wifi) and reads some data from the disk and then show them on screen. is it possible to do this with labview or should i be looking for something else (like java)?

I don't want to use a computer to do that. I just have this router with disk and android phone.

Thanks for answer,

Boćidar

You need to explore Eclipse for Android...!!

Dear Boćidar,

Welcome to the NI forums!
Unfortunately you cannot use LabVIEW to program an Android Device, and for your project you would need a host computer. The task you specified can be done with the above mentioned Data Dashboard program but for that you need a host target PC. (Data Dashboard information: (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-19387)

Data Dashboard is a free tool for mobile platforms, which can be used with a host computer running a LabVIEW built application or .vi to represent variables on the network.

Please explore the adviced solutions and if you have further questions, do not hesitate to reply.

Best regards,
Peter

Yes and no, you cannot make a LV program for the android, but you can use Data Dashboard to view network shared variables. You'll have to make a program on a PC which reads your file and presents the data, then the Droid device can show that data.
