Raspberry Pi android application development

Sun May 10, 2015 7:57 pm

I am a new user and I don't know if i posted in the right place but i am trying to develop an android application that can access the Pi and view the live feed of the the attached camera board module. I wonder if there is any available coding to be shared for reference or any guidance that can be given. I have enabled the camera and installed motion function into the Pi. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could ask this guy: http://www.redrobe.com/mike/raspicam-re ... r-android/
I believe he uses the name "mikerr" here on the forum.

Interesting.

You cannot use 'motion' web server and access video over web using chrome browser on android, I get the feeling that was possible when I tried a few years ago?

I think there is a lot of very interesting work going on recently with motion detection on the gpu and things being integrated into raspicam not sure if it streams over net yet, maybe try checkout the src from git and read the code?.

The pi has the potential to do amazing things at fraction of the price of comercial available IP cams.

If you are a newbie there is not much you can do except read the threads and google research to try and understand what it all means. I think usable systems will be coming real soon now.

I am playing with computer vision and python and was toying with the idea of adding streaming video, I found some interesting info at http://www.wu.ece.ufl.edu/projects/wire ... H264_USRP/ , and http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2013/11/ ... using.html I never seem to get enough free time to actually finish anything though.

The vc4 cam can have multiple streams at different resolutions and in different formats (h264, jpg, etc..) and can dump to different output destinations (gles textures, mmal, disk files, streams). There is huge scope but it requires lots of time and effort to experiment and write code and debug. Start by checking out the raspicam code.
