Paid services permission

[Arch Defino]

Hello, why would Protocoder ask for access to paid services? Send SMS, make calls etc...

Hello,

Protocoder is a programming framework & environment where you can create lots of things. Therefore I have to ask for certain permissions so you can be able to program them.

For example you can send Sms messages with just a line of code to any number using just a line of code. Imagine that you want to create a script where you send and Sms when the brightness of your room changes or when your desk moves a lot (kinda cheap earthquake sensor).

Depending on your use it might be useful or not, but I try to have a big range of options in Protocoder so any person willing to explore and experiment will have a place here.

Sadly Android doesnt allow on demand permissions, I think the new developer preview of Android L has something like that so I will explore the option for future versions.

If you think it might be appropriate and if there is more demand I can create two APKs, one with all permissions, the other one excluding those scary permissions for the people who will use Protocoder for another purposes.

I hope I could answer your question.

Cheers!

Well yes of course! To be honest I almost figure it out on my own just a minute ago by seeing the example code on the home page :) Right now I'm testing out protocoder. Trying to get a puredata patch to work. I should probably start a new thread, but please forgive me if I ask in this one, do I have to use only vanilla objects in my patch for it to execute on Android?

Thanks a lot,

Arch

I forgive you :) 

Yes, at the moment only Pd vanilla. I would like to add some Pd extended objects but I think I would need some help to mess with NDK compiling :D 

What it works pretty well is to use Rjdj abstractions. Just drag and drop them inside your project along the Pd patch and thats all :) 

love to hear about your experiments!

Cheers!
