Hello!
First I want to introduce myself .
My name is Bernhard and I'm an electrical engineer in process automation.
Knowledge of C , Basic, Java , etc. are more fundamental nature ;-)
I have in my house a Siemens PLC installed , to control the blinds, lights and other things. Also, I have running a Raspberry Pi as a data logger that reads temperatures using a sensor and gas consumption via the PLC. To control the lights / blinds via my mobil phone, I use a free app called S7Android. This app works fine, but is more for testing in the industrie.
I want to create an app which has a better userinterface and is maybe not so customizable but fitting for my use - strictly speaking for my dear wife ;-) See WAF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife_acceptance_factor
I use the free library libnodave http://sourceforge.net/projects/libnodave/ for communication between Raspberry and PLC. There is this also a Java http://sourceforge.net/projects/libnodave/files/libnodave-java/ library.
I have now tried to understand how I can get such an existing library as a library in B4a - but honestly I dont understand how to do it.
There is a page http://alexsentcha.wordpress.com/li...plc-2/android-exchange-data-with-siemens-plc/ ,where that was solved with eclipse , but does not help me further because I find B4a really easy to use and hereby would like to try my luck.
I would be grateful for any help !
regards,
Bernhard
