I have been experimenting with Android and the P25RX using an OTG usb cable for displaying data. I am not a programmer. Just playing around in the radio hobby.
This is a 30 sec mp4 video file of the app I built running on an old 2013 Nexus 7 tablet (2 gig ram and Andriod 5.1.1). P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 systems near me.
Mp4
The app has a short TG history pop up window, a direct frequency enter window, and a TG follow button. The Nexus 7 powers the P25RX. Sound remains line out/bluetooth from the P25RX.
If any fellow experimenters are interested, I will gladly share the completed 3 meg apk file with you for free. I'm good at yahoo email.
To be clear, I am NOT selling anything. I built it with "MIT Ap Inventor 2" and just like sharing ideas as part of the hobby. It just parses the text seen in the BTConfig console. As such, future releases may cause the app to fail and need updating. But for now...it works.
Please understand, I can not support troubleshooting or feature requests. It may NOT work for you.
The Android device must support OTG serial with an OTG cable. The apk file will need to be sideloaded on your device for installing. Too many flavors of Android for me to provide any knowledge on how to do things on your specific device.
It works well on my 3 Android devices. Two old Nexus 7's and a newer ONN 10.1 tablet with Android 10. My 2012 Nexus 7 (1 gig ram and Andriod 4) does not like it when opening the TG history pop up. Everything else works fine on that unit.
Just having fun with the P25RX, I hope you are too. It is a great device!
