For my University project this semester, I need to develop a simple android app with the potential to be able to connect to a microcontroller via bluetooth/NFC.
My question is is there a place that has a decent tutorial on how to start such a task? Or is there anyone that can give me some advice. The language used will be C/C++
Cheers!
I would start with Android design standards and since you're using C++, look into the Android Native Development Kit (NDK). The NDK to my knowledge, is what lets you get down to the C++ level. That being said, I'm pretty sure if you want to use Bluetooth on the phone (or whatever is running Android) you have to use the API provided in the normal SDK which is Java based. So maybe you'll have C++ on the microcontroller, and the Java on the Android side.
Thank you heaps, although our project has changed and we'll no longer need to develop an app. Thanks a bunch though!
