ToApp

Send data to method of app

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Support Package for Android Devices add-on.

• 

Libraries:
Simulink Support Package for Android Devices / Advanced

Description

Use the ToApp block to send data to a specified method in the Android^® app. The method must exist in the default activity. For example, suppose the block input is int32(ones(3,1)) and the method name is ToAppFcn. Then, the expected method in the Android app would be:

public void ToAppFcn(int[] inData)

where inData is an integer array of three elements.

Note

During simulation with no hardware connected, this block does nothing. For more information, see Block Produces Zeros or Does Nothing in Simulation.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Data to send to a method

argn where n is the number of arguments

The block inputs data to send to a method in an Android app. This data is received as input by the method specified in the Method name parameter. The number of input ports to the block depend on the number of input arguments. For example, if you set Number of arguments parameter to 2, you can pass arg1 and arg2 as input arguments to a method in the Android app.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean

Parameters

Method name — Name of method in Android app

ToAppMethod (default) | character vector

Enter the name of method in the Android app.

Number of arguments — Number of arguments for method

1 (default) | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Select the number of arguments for the method in the Android app. The number of argument that you select are added as input ports to the block.
