VIM3L Android API function calls

VIM3
1

Hi

I am looking at this API document for VIM/VIM3L here.

With my VIM3L running Android, I am trying out some of these API calls.

Setup:
I downloaded this project:
And copied the library and necessary code to my own project.
My project builds and runs.

Results:
I am getting some mixed results.

These API function calls work:

getKhadasApi().setLedMode()
getKhadasApi().setFanMode()
getKhadasApi().getFanMode()

I do not see any behaviour change when any of these API functions are called:

getKhadasApi().reboot()
getKhadasApi().shutdown()
getKhadasApi().sleep()

Calling either of these API functions returns “socket: Permission denied”:

getKhadasApi().getCurrentResolution()
getKhadasApi().getValidResolution()

Calling this API function always results in -1 (fail), whether I set GPIO A6 to input or output:

getKhadasApi().gpioRead(“GPIOAO_6”)

Questions:

Q1: These API function calls are defined for the VIM. Should they also work for the VIM3L?

Q2: Why would the calls to reboot(), shutdown() and sleep() have no effect?

Q3: I have come across two GPIO header descriptions on your website - this one and this one.
Which GPIO pin does GPIOA0_6 refer to / How do I know which i/o configuration I have?

Hi - can anyone give me some info please?
Thanks

Hi @gar1234, Developers are on vacation for this week, you will get a follow up by next week.

Regards.

They work with VIM3L

Can you use the reboot, shutdown and sleep functions with the vim3_demo.apk we generated? The apk is in the root directory of the code after you git clone

The above two links are introductions describing 40pin. This needs to be combined with the sch of vim3l to see the corresponding pins.

For Q2:

I cannot build the original project.

I get this error:

Unable to make field private final java.lang.String java.io.File.path accessible: module java.base does not “opens java.io” to unnamed module @b934bf5

This is my setup:

Android Gradle Plugin Version = 3.6.1
Gradle Version = 7.2
JDK = kbr-17 (JetBrains Runtime version 17.0.6)

Hello, after the project is downloaded, the generated apk can be used directly. You don’t need to compile a new apk.

The error you reported may be due to incorrect studio configuration. Let me take a look here.

If I load the demo apk, the API functions work. I have tried to integrate the API library in to my project but I can’t get it to work successfully yet.
Here are the steps I took so far:
I copied file ‘khadas_api.jar’ to the project’s lib folder
I included the library file in the project
In my main .java file, I defined KhadasApi:

private static KhadasApi mKhadasApi;
public static KhadasApi getKhadasApi() {
    return mKhadasApi;
}

In the OnCreate(), in the same file:

    mKhadasApi = new KhadasApi(this);

And later in that same file, on a butotn click:

getKhadasApi().reboot();

The only other related I file that I could find, was ‘khadas_api.jks’, which is in the app directory. I copied that file to my app directory.

When I run the project now, I get the following error:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.MyApp, PID: 26831
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/app/KhadasApiManager;

Have you copied arm64-v8a/libkhadas_serial_port_jni.so and armeabi-v7a/libkhadas_serial_port_jni.so under khadas_api_demo/app/src/main/jniLibs to your project?
