Examples of API framework/elements..?

[Jacob Kruger]

Hi there

 

Just installed protocoder app on my current primary android unit - samsung galaxy S5, running kitkat 4.4.2 - and, when launch it on phone, and then fire up browser on PC on same wifi network, then the browser interface is quite happy/simple, etc., but, am wondering where to get hold of examples, documentation relating to API, phone interaction, etc., since, for example, browser interface just tells me there are no examples available?

 

Have only tried this like once or twice, and scanned through documentation on git hub, etc. but, thought may as well ask?

 

And, lastly, yes, I am a blind android 'cyborg' who uses my android units along with talkback screen reader, but, besides that, my primary work activity is related to both web development, using, among other things, javascript, etc., as well as python programming language, etc. etc., and have been looking around at possible channels to let me play around with android development of sorts for a while, but, java itself is one of the programming languages have never really done anything with, and the other IDE's specifically related to android development are also not the most usable/accessible pieces of software either, whereas webpage interface is almost perfect from my side...<smile>

 

Stay well

Ok, update.

 

Seems to be issue with either/or internet explorer 11, along with my primary screen reader software, Jaws, since when switched over to mozilla firefox, then both examples and API reference links show up when browse to phone from PC.

 

Chances are it's a form of compatibility issue with markup/rendering etc., but anyway.

 

Stay well

Hello Jacob,

1) Protocoder works with Chrome or Firefox which is recommended. I've never tried with Internet Explorer as I don't have windows currently installed in my system. 

2) My experience with screen readers is a bit limited, just tried a Orca in Linux many years ago and the one of Android.
Protocoder might not have good support for assistive technologies but I would love to tweak Protocoder in such a way that can work easily with those. If you could provide me some feedback I would be more than glad to work on those features for the next release.

If you prefer we can have a skype someday.

Cheers

Victor

Will do - will try out chrome as well, but, issue there is while you can activate chrome vox accessibility add-in, it tries to handle all accessibility itself, instead of working/cooperating with screen reader software too much.

 

Suppose main thing is am just used to how I generally work with screen readers - either jaws, or free, open-source one called NVDA, in terms of keyboard navigation quick keys, etc. etc., but, firefox works well enough with both of those - NVDA uses same voice synthesizer as orca FWIW - eSpeak.

 

Have also played around with ubuntu somewhat, partly since, at the very least, orca is included for free in it, and can even invoke spoken output during installation process using something like ctrl + S right at the beginning, from something like startup choices menu - have a VMWare instance of something like ubuntu 14 that installed using that, but that was primarily for testing, etc., and, yes, windows is my primary OS at moment.

 

Main thing is just that in terms of DHTML, etc., the screen reader isn't always immediately aware of a change to the DOM, or else it may update what they refer to as a virtual buffer rendition, but, it doesn' mean a user would know about it having changed, as such, but, not major issue, and, yes, lots of guys prefer firefox, partly due to things like greaseMonkey, and things like the webvisum add-in which lets you, among other things, work around captcha, etc.

 

Will keep you up to date/let you know, and we can arrange a skype chat at some time - I just don't actually keep skype running all the time, partly since it at times interferes with http port, etc. - yes, it's disabled under it's settings, but, still, and also since, current version of skype insists on not being minimised to system tray, which is irritating at times...<smile>
