Re: [higgins-dev] Current status about Android I-Card Selector

["dmigol@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <dmigol@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Android I-Card Selector is at development progress now. It may be 
included into Higgins M.8 release.

Current status:

   org.eclipse.higgins.android.icard.npapi - rc, but needs clean up.
   org.eclipse.higgins.android.icard.selector - alpha version,
   features: viewing and selecting cards.
   org.eclipse.higgins.android.icard.service - alpha version, features:
   communicate with card provider, storing cards (and some settings)
   onto device.

Main difference between Android Selector and iPhone's is less 
functionality: Android's Selector can't manage and delete cards. Other 
difference is that Android Selector consists of three components that's 
working as one application.

You need the following  tools and components for building Android I-Card 
Selector:

   Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/) (I recommend to install
   Eclipse with ADT);
   Android's source (http://source.android.com/) - about 2 Gb;
   Eclipse with CDT plugin (it is possible gmake or other for building
   c projects);

Instructions for building:

   add ksoap2-android-full.jar
   (http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/) in classpath of service
   project;
   build selector and service as simple Android applications;
   change ANDROID_BUILD_TOP property (in C/C++ Build -> Environment) of
   npapi project with path to your Android's sources;
   build npapi project as C/C++ project (with run Android' emulator);
