Hi Sumedha/Ruwan, Why this has to be special for Android? I don't think we can write a SDK for iOS or windows since they are done by the OS. +1 for having generalisation for other device types such as raspberry pi and arduino.
Plus, the more than calling the last segment, communication API, it should be quoted configuration API, as communication protocol, in reality is just a configuration given that said configuration is supported. +1 Regards, Inosh On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 12:43 PM, Ruwan Yatawara <ruw...@wso2.com> wrote: > Yes, this should be a generic API.
