Remote control app

[joneden]

I'm looking at having some kind of remote control of devices in the field that are not on the same network as the controller. Has anyone got any good recommendations of apps for this?

From my research it doesn't seem as though there is much, does anyone know if it would be possible to make a B4A app that would link a RealVNC client to a bridge server?

Regards,

Jon

Most mobile network providers block incoming connections. So you cannot connect to the device directly.

Did you see this tutorial:
Android push notification (GCM) framework and tutorial

Hi Erel,

I hadn't seen that tutorial but it will come in very useful. I realised that one thing that it will help with if not the remote control is notifying the app that an update is available (not using the play store as it's an internal app).
