Running mycroft-core server on Android phones and tablets

lyndalopez544 opened this issue · 2 comments

I wonder why shouldn't Mycroft run directly in a standalone mode on an Android device instead of connecting to a mycroft-core server?

mycroft-core with all the dependencies could be compiled and just wrapped in an Android package to be able to run on all Android-based devices.
Then, an Android Wear device could communicate to the mycroft-core server running on an Android phone or tablet.

A few things have to change in the design of mycroft-core for it to be more easily portable to Android. Since Android is Linux, there shouldn't be much difficulty running mycroft-core on Android.

Duplicate for #10

Thanks Dector,

Also apologies for not replying sooner, this came in the day my daughter was born 😄

We actually have two Community developed Android projects, this "pass-through" app, and a native implementation of mycroft-core which you can see at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/MycroftCore-Android

I am sure they are keen for more contributors if anyone is interested. Just jump in and say hi on the Android channel in Chat

As this other project exists, I'll close this issue and let the conversation continue in the other repo and on Chat.
