Call Android Application

Hi. Is it possible to call an external Android application, from RPG or the Profoundui Mobile App?

In this scenario, we have mobile printers that connect to our mobile devices through Bluetooth. We also have an Android application (developed by us) that can connect and print to the printer.

We would like to run our RPG program through the mobile client, then call our external app to do the printing. Probably print a generated printer file after the program runs, or if possible to print parameters passed by the profoundui mobile client app to our app.

Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

You would need to generate a PhoneGap plugin that calls your program, then build your app via PhoneGap instead of using our mobile client.

Hi Scott, we wanted to stay with the profoundui mobile client. I found a way to call the app via html link.
