The app appears empty
Ideally, there should be 3 panels: An LED color panel, a TV Box, and a test panel.
There are 2 projects in the repo:
- Android Infrared: This is the driver and adapter for Android to use different IR, it provides some common seen IR protocols.
-
SmartRemoteControl: This project provides the interface, native code is a UI container for the hybrid content, the panels are built with Web technology. The code for panels are actually located in the
SmartRemoteControl/src/main/assetsfolder.
HINT: This code is an experiment project, and haven't been updated for a while. The code is developed and tested on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 4.1 and Android 4.4. I'm not sure its compatibility with latest device and new Android roms.

Hmm, I think I know why.
It probably caused because the assets are not built with native code. I forgot whether I integrated it with gradle or not.
To built the asset, a gruntfile is provided, which helps to build the assets.
In case you are not familiar with node, there is a brief steps about how to do it:
- Install
node.jsif you haven't -
$ npm installto install all thenodedependencies -
$ npm install coffee-script grunt-cli -g -
$ gurnt
Or you might be able to start a new web server that serves these asset files. Then you can add a remote panel from the app (Useful when developing panels)
I think it was not a good idea to integrate into build script a workflow to create assets, via node.js or whatever. This should be a regular Android build script (simple as possible) with static assets folder, which could be replaced later with generated one in a derivative gradle project should any advanced developer (like you) need it. Now this complicated build setup makes it hard to work with your code, I doubt somebody was able to build it. Your current gradle script doesn't build at all, probably outdated. I found a forked project where a man fixed that and now it builds, but now there's this very issue with assets, node.js npm, grunt and other shit staff... not sure I'll go further after spending quite a bit of time on the issues with the build script, which should work out of the box, it's a mandatory thing for an open source project, sure.
