Sweet :) I'm curious - what prevents the app from running on Android phones apart from Nexus One, Nexus S, Motorola phones and CyanogenMod users? Something to do with access to certain bits of Bluetooth functionality?
- dazbradbury 15y agoThe phone interaction is predominantly so you don't have to take your phone of your pocket right? (I'm assuming if you have a bt headset, it will announce the caller, and you can decide to pick up that way.) Unless I'm missing something, can I recommend an android app I wrote called NameBuzz: http://goo.gl/rd7df http://goo.gl/rd7df . It's basically a vibration based caller ID, that works based on the number of syllables in the callers name (Or you can add a per-contact pattern).
- erohead 15y agoEach Android handset manufacturer can choose which Bluetooth stack they want to use. Unfortunately the L2CAP API calls we use aren't available in the Broadcom stack, which is notably used by HTC and Samsung.
- camtarn 15y agoAh, I see... that's a pity :( I'd assumed the Android platform was at least a little more homogenous than that - surely people would have learned from the horrors of J2ME development...
