Today was the first Brussels Android Hackathon, which actually also was the first GTUG Brussels and/or Belgium meeting. Some familiar heads and a whole lot of other people I saw for the first time. The event was hosted by The Creative Stores in Jette at their very nice offices.
The main target today was to build a little Android application to control an Axis PTZ camera, using gestures, the compass (where I reused my code detailed in my previous post) or just left/right/up/down buttons through its web service. We kind of succeeded, even if the UI is not as nice as we wanted it to be and that some nice features are missing. We also lost some time configuring Eclipse and SVN correctly. On the other hand we had to load the live images as a JPG stream because for some to be investigated reason the RTSP stream was eating all performance and basic application interaction did not respond.
If you want you can check out today’s code on Google Code. But you’ll need an Axis PTZ camera to test it.
A video about the app will follow later. I wasn’t the one filming!
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
