Hi SAndroidEans!

It is quite a long time that we not meet but, here we had a lot to do and not only with the Easter Chocolate….

The new SAndroidE Beta 0.5 is now available with a new big feature: The support of the FitBit API!!!!

The FitBit products

Sometime the direct connection with the device is not possible due to both a too strange proprietary protocol or the risk of copyright infringement. For these reasons we’ve extended SAndroidE to manage also REST API allowing you to add every data available in the cloud as you have many virtual sensors inside your smartphone… We’ve started with the Fitbit API but we are ready to fight against quite every API. Let us know what you think in our community on GitHub or on the social networks and enjoy your new, amazing ability to enhance your smartphone!


Hi SAndroidEans!

Welcome back to our DevBlog. This time we’ve big news: the first SAndroidE Hackathon will be host by University of Brescia on 18th of March 2017! This free event is all-day occasion to meet the SAndroidE staff and try to figure out the power of our framework. We are really happy to join the Google Developer Group of Brescia (Italy) in this new adventure!

Hosted into the new energy living lab of the University of Brescia eLUX (energy Laboratory as University eXpo), the hackathon will start in the morning with the basics of Android programming.  After the introduction of SAndroidE we’ll challenge you to realise a fully functional domotic application by the end of the day. Are you ready to hack? Join us on 18th of March!

For further information and subscriptions see the event page on eventbrite: https://gdgbs2017hackathon.eventbrite.it (the event will be held in italian).

 


Hi SAndroidEans!

This time we want to introduce you the new SAndroidE beta 0.4, a new step ahead in the SAndroidE evolution. As you can see in the release notes on GitHub, in addition to some code-cleaning and bug-fixing, there are a lot of new features regarding, mainly, the BLE Beacon support. Continue reading


Hi, SAndroidEans!
New year, new version. Here at the SAndroidE lab we had a busy Christmas time, preparing the new beta 0.3 release. You can find the .aar archive under the “Release page” on Github (this link).

The new release bring a lot of new features and some bug fixes. Read more


The configuration files created by the Flasher App and the Beacon Config App are now stored in the root directory of the internal storage of the phone.


We can finally announce that SAndroidE is now in beta version!

The number of devices has been risen with support for BLE Beacons, Arduino/Genuino and Raspberry Pi model 3. Read Read more


The compatibility of the SAndroidE framework with the AltBeacon Android library, developed by Radius Networks, has been successfully tested, thus it is possible to develop applications exploiting both libraries simultaneously.
Bluetooth beacons are transmitters based on Bluetooth Low Energy technology (BT 4.0 – 4.1), which broadcast their identity to nearby electronic devices. Proximity applications are the common targets for systems developed using Continue reading


The compatibility of the SAndroidE framework with BLE shields compatible with Arduino platform has been succesfully tested.

This work has been developed by Dr. Giulia Monteverdi in her thesis for Bachelor degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Università degli Studi di Brescia. This approach exploits the SAndroidE framework to implement a simple home automation system with a smartphone and an Arduino-based embedded system. The Arduino system is equipped with a BLE shield and, in this implementation, it acts as a simple gateway between Read more


It is with great pride that we announce that the paper “Integrating Remote Sensors in a Smartphone: the project Sensors for ANDROID in Embedded systems’” (authors: Continue reading


The first step of project SAndroidE has been taken: paper “Integrating Remote Sensors in a Smartphone: the project Sensors for ANDROID in Embedded systems’” (authors: Stefano Rinaldi, Alessandro Depari, Alessandra Flammini, and Angelo Vezzoli) has been accepted for presentation at the conference 2016 IEEE Sensors Applications and Symposium (SAS), to be held in Catania, Italy, on April 20-22, 2016!

The work will be presented in front of an audience composed by Read more
