LabVIEW to Android .apk for apps or to Apple mobile

Status: New

Dear Hot Shot Devs!

thousands of us want to be able to build a mobile app from LabVIEW!!!


Can you imagine??

 

All that power with full responsive features on any device, like Swift and Android Studio??

 

you can “hook into” those tools to let us design the User Interface and evening do Bluetooth and Wireless with all’s y’all’s stacks and wizardry!!

 

Consider me as an Alpha tester. I know what is needed. Let me know the plans!

 

I have been using LabVIEW since before rev 3.0 when we could actually talk to Dr G!!


great work you are doing. Sometimes I do not enjoy the “abstractions” you do to make it easy. Kind of liked the good ole “bit banging” direct link to Comms and I/O but I understand.

NI has evaluated this and decided compiling G code into native apps for mobile (on any platform) is not a sufficiently profitable area for us to pursue at this time. It takes considerable effort to create a new compiler targeting any new platform. If you have details on why you need this for your science/engineering project to succeed, please fill it in below for NI to reconsider.

Have you evaluated WebVIs (in the LabVIEW NXG Web Module)? You can save a website bookmark to your mobile device home screen so that it looks similar to an app.

 

This Webinar is a basic introduction to the LabVIEW NXG Web Module: https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=reg30.jsp&referrer=&eventid=250383....

And apparently (maybe? presumably?), you can make a standalone .apk from a WebVI.

 

See Game-Could-this-can-be-written-using-LabVIEW.

 

Haven't tried it, but there is potential.

Hi All,

 

I've written a manual on how to make your own Native Android and IOS applications with access to the phones API using LabVIEW Web modules. This uses no external server.
