Creating Instruments and using them on Android

#1 Post by nikivolo »

Dear Sirs,
Could you kindly confirm it is still not possible (unless passing your tests) to build an instrument (with AM desktop) and then use it on AM Android version?
Thank you very much,
Nikivolo

If you want to 100% use a tablet the only option in this case is for it to run windows i’m afraid. I personally thnk a touch screen connected to the AM computer still gives the best flexibility.

Just my opinion.

Sorry but I have difficulties understanding this decision. Unfortunately I have three android tablets and, of course I am not willing to buy any windows tablet just for this.
I really wonder why I should not use my "ugly and maybe even not perfectly working" instrument, but that I have programmed, on my tablet.
I guest there is an important reason behind this.
Anyhow I hope this thing gets changed. I will then happily buy the program.
In the mean time, all the best to you all.

The tablet issues are Google and Apple related issues and not specifically an Air Manager issue so unless they change I doubt we will see a change. Android at least can dowload from the store but iOS is even further limited to what comes with the App. I suppose if dowloading from the store is possible with Android then in theory it should be possible to download from any place. Only Sim Innovations can comment on why its this way I'm afraid.

This has been discussed many times before. It is not allowed to upload code to an iPad. Also note that the application is called Air Manager, not Air Player. Air Manager isn't made to be configured by other applications.
We might release Air Player for Android one day, but it is not scheduled for now.

I was talking about Android as well. It would require a complete new application, which requires a lot of work. Unfortunately we do not have the time at the moment. Hopefully in the future.
