Understanding the InfoActivity plugin example

[nichol...@gmail.com]

I'm not terribly experienced with android programming specifically. I have the InfoActivity example working on my phone and I am trying to figure out how to add a few more parameters and how to use Tasker variables.

The example uses something called PluginBundleManager which seems to only be set up for a single string parameter as far as I can tell. None of the information I can find about using Bundles seems to match up with what's going on in the example.

How might I add more parameters to my plugin?

Havn't used this code before (it's relatively new), but looks like
you just need to change PluginBundleValues.java. First,
add your parameter to the generateBundle and isBundleValid
functions, then add a new function to retrieve it from other
places in your code (analogous to the getMessage function
already there for the message parameter)

Can you recommend an example or tutorial that is a little more bare bones or straight forward? I also can't find any information about the license agreement for the TwoFortyFourAM example and I might like to put my plug in the Play store.

I don't know of any others.

But you should only really need to look at activity/EditActivity.java and receiver/FireReceiver.java (function onReceive).

I don't know anything about licensing for the sample code, I doubt they have anything against using it
as a base, since that's what it's for.
