hkontrol / hkmobile

hkmobile

hkontroller for gomobile bind.

idea

The super idea: to develop HomeKit app for Android. Using golang library this can be done in two ways:

1. Entirely in golang: native, gioui app.. The cons is lack of integration with Android UI(how to implement widget for desktop, for example?). The pro is that it's crossplatform - we can use it in Linux as well.
2. Native Android app with kotlin/java-golang coupling.

This repo is about second way.

Because gomobile has limited support for exported types we can wrap hkontroller into some kind json api: it is possible to operate with strings and byte slices.

To react on events like device discovery/lost, characteristic update we can define interface MobileReceiver and implement that interface on Java/Kotlin side:

type MobileReceiver interface {
  OnDiscovery(string)
  OnLost(string)
  OnPaired(string)
  OnUnpaired(string)
  OnVerified(string)
  OnClose(string)
  OnCharacteristic(string)
}

build

build aar archive:

go get golang.org/x/mobile/bind
gomobile bind -target=android ./
cp ./hkmobile.aar ./App5/app/libs
