Building native externals for android
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2013 8:42 pm
So I need to do two functions on Android of which are not possible with Livecode currently.
One is to retrieve the call log from the device. The other is to retrieve all the contact information. (Doing a repeat loop on mobileGetContactData takes a couple minutes. Would rather have Android do it in seconds much like the networking apps like Viber are able to do.)
So how would I go about making these calls in Java. I know the specific lines of code that need to be sent to the engine which are here.
http://developer.android.com/reference/ ... Calls.html
Would I need to use C to make these calls or is there a LC way to communicate with the Android engine?
Any help would be much appreciated
