asked on

access, direct or control device with an android

hello experts!

im new to android application development so just started

my task is -- to make an application that can access / control an electronic device remotely from android.

for example we have and LCD touch screen which controls some manufacturing device.
we want to be able to control this device from the android phone!

where do i start? are there may be ready samples so i can modify! or may be some simple remote access application ? or do i need to create the whole new application for this?

thanks

There could be many ways.
First you have to check on the manufacturing Application's APIs and how it going to accept input parameters for the particular functions.

You may go through following example.
