Enter a name for your project into the Project name field, for example HandleDoCommand. Then, select the Android API Level (version) to use for the project.

With this one:
|
iDigiServiceManager.subscribeDoCommand("myTarget", this); |
This line of code tells the application to listen for do_commands which have the myTarget string as a target (command identifier). Whenever a do_command having the target myTarget is sent to the embedded device, the application will execute the commandReceived() callback.
Replace the following lines:
|
// TODO: Write here the code you want to execute when a |
With these ones:
|
Toast.makeText(this,"do_command received: " + data.trim(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); |

The second line returns the text that will be sent back to iDigi to indicate that the do_command has been received successfully.
Notice that you will need to import the toast control in order to display the toast (pop-up) message. To do so, write the following line in the imports section of the application code.
