[Vo]:off topic Andriod
Thanks Steven. I have to start somewhere. I can't compete in games. A laptop or a desk top does not fit in the piano music book holder. My laptop fell off of the piano when trying to do this with the program Grand Piano. An android tablet would fit nicely into the book holder. That's my in. All this app does is show notes on a score as they are played. They show up as a red bar. The program has a menu item for sharps and flats. That selection will, for instance, show a C# or a D flat depending how it is selected. The app can't handle a mixture of sharps and flats. It will have and option to highlight the C's. Most people know the keyboard from C to C. I may do a reverse where a touch of the score will play a midi tone. This app is all about teaching to learn how to read music. I play a little by ear and always wanted something like this. All of this will be mute if Google never gets its low latency method MidiManager working. Android is also to come out with a high speed port. It is to deliver OTG cable support and new Bluetooth MIDI support.MidiManager now displays 17 errors. I have no clue as to how to write my own USB MIDI driver. I hope Google lives up to their promise soon. It is also good to advance from desk top programming to tablet programming . I am now retired (at 62, 1 year younger than you) but I have still have the desire to keep up. A cheep MIDI bluetooth controller is a nice way to provide hard wired inputs to an Android device. Once I get this thing working I could, for example, control something with the technology. Sorry about the video. It displays vertically on my Ipad. Frank Znidarsic I cannot imagine myself composing or playing music on an iPad or Android device. NTL, I know there are younger tykes who do just that. Guess I'm too much of an old fart at 63 years old. I need glasses too. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson OrionWorks.com zazzle.com/orionworks vor

A few years ago I completed several books. This was a goal and I am proud to have completed it. None are selling well but Energy, Cold Fusion, and Antigravity has sold quite a few over the last couple of years. I also wanted to wrote software and market it on Google Play. I saw those neat little androids riding on the bus and thought, I can do this this! Amazon invited me to be a app developer, encouraging. It proved harder than expected. I downloaded the free Andriod Studio compiler. It compiles Java code. I hate Java; the code is not self explanatory to me. I use it because it works but I know not why. Its sort of like the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics. It works but the water is muddy. Android programs have several associated files XML, Manifest, Gradel, Image, and Java. Each one would take the team at Bleachley Park to figure out. Anyway I did it, I got stuff working. My goal was to write musical MIDI apps. I could not get Android to read the MIDI input under any condition. I tied to use and modify and existing 3d party drivers but no luck. Android M is coming out this fall. M is for musical. With this I believe I will be able to build my MIDI apps. I will proudly display them on Google Play once completed. Frank Znidarsic
