Transcript

1. The IoT platform for everyone #appbuilders17 @riggaroo
2. Android Engineering Lead at Dynamic Visual Technologies Google Developer Expert for Android & Internet of Things riggaroo.co.za @riggaroo Rebecca Franks
3. What is Android Things?
4. Android Things is an extension of the Android platform for IoT and embedded devices.
5. Cameras
 Gateways
 HVAC Control
 Smart Meters Point of Sale
 Inventory Control
 Interactive Ads
 Vending Machines Security Systems
 Smart Doorbells
 Routers
 Energy Monitors Asset Tracking
 Fleet Management
 Driver Assist
 Predictive Service Ideal for powerful, intelligent devices that need to be secure.
6. Android Things for Developers
7. How is Android Things different? Android Studio Android SDKs & Developer Tools Firebase Libraries Google Cloud Platform SDKs Any other compatible Android/Java libraries...
9. Development Boards
12. Displays are Optional
13. Consider Alternate UI
14. Cons • Only in developer preview • Known issues - hardware graphics acceleration is off etc • Weave not yet available for Android Things • Very new platform – not many samples • A bit slow for things that need precise timing • Not open source yet (?)
15. Electronics for Software Developers
16. Electronic Components Breadboard - Construction base for prototyping electronics Jumper Wire - Used to interconnect the components of a breadboard
17. LEDs - Emits visible light when an electric current passes through it Push Switches - Allows electricity to flow between its two contacts Electronic Components
18. Resistor -Used to reduce current flow Source: http://www.electronicshub.org/resistor-color-code/ Electronic Components and many more...
19. Electronic Components Raspberry Pi Rainbow HAT • Seven APA102 multicolor LEDs • Four 14-segment alphanumeric displays (green LEDs) • HT16K33 display driver chip • Three capacitive touch buttons • Atmel QT1070 capacitive touch driver chip • Blue, green, and red LEDs • BMP280 temperature and pressure sensor • Piezo buzzer • Breakout pins for servo, 12C, SPI, and UART (all 3v3)
20. Ohm’s Law The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. V = I * R V is Voltage (volts) I is Current (amps) R is Resistance (ohms) I = 0.023A V = 5V R = 5V / 0.023A R = ± 217 ohms
21. Pinout Diagrams
22. Hardware Integration on Android Things GPIO PWM I2C SPI UART Peripheral I/O COMPLEX EASY! https://github.com/androidthings/contrib-drivers Button PWM Servo RGB LED Strip GPS Temperature Sensor Capacitive touch buttons Github - Peripheral Driver Library
23. Let’s build an App
24. Circuit Setup – LED button control
25. In case of emergency
26. • A Raspberry Pi 3 or alternative - Running Android Things • Create standard project in Android Studio • Add to app level build.gradle: provided 'com.google.android.things:androidthings:...' Getting Started
27. <application ...>
 <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.things"/>
 <activity ...>
 ...
 <!-- Launch activity automatically on boot -->
 <intent-filter>
 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.IOT_LAUNCHER"/>
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
 </intent-filter>
 </activity>
 </application> AndroidManifest.xml
28. Button button = new Button("BCM6", Button.LogicState.PRESSED_WHEN_LOW);
 button.setOnButtonEventListener(new Button.OnButtonEventListener() {
 @Override
 public void onButtonEvent(final Button button, final boolean pressed) { //...
 Log.i(TAG, "Button value changed:" + pressed);
 ledGpio.setValue(pressed); } }); Button Press compile 'com.google.android.things.contrib:driver-button:0.2'
29. //get access to the pin
 PeripheralManagerService service = new PeripheralManagerService();
 ledGpio = service.openGpio("BCM6");
 ledGpio.setDirection(Gpio.DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_LOW);
 
 ledGpio.setValue(true);
 
 //remember to close the peripheral
 ledGpio.close(); Turn on an LED
30. Turn it on or off using Firebase Realtime DB FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("ledKitchen")
 .addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(final DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
 Boolean value = (Boolean) dataSnapshot.getValue();
 ledGpio.setValue(value);
 //.. handle exceptions
 }
 //..
 });

34. https://github.com/riggaroo/android-things-electricity-monitor Firebase Realtime Database Electricity Monitor
35. final DatabaseReference onlineRef = firebaseDatabase.child(".info/connected"); final DatabaseReference isPowerOnRef = firebaseDatabase.child("/online"); onlineRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
 }); @Override public void onDataChange(final DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { if (dataSnapshot.getValue(Boolean.class)) { isPowerOnRef.setValue(true); isPowerOnRef.onDisconnect().setValue(false); } } Electricity Monitor – Companion App – onDisconnect()
36. Electricity Monitor – Cloud Functions on Firebase const functions = require('firebase-functions'); const admin = require('firebase-admin'); admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase); exports.sendPowerNotification = functions.database.ref("/online").onWrite((event) => { }); const data = event.data; if (!data.changed()) { return; } const onOff = data.val() ? "on": "off"; const payload = { notification: { body: `Your electricity is now ${onOff}` } }; return admin.messaging().sendToTopic("Power_Notifications", payload, ..);
