I'm very interested in getting my DistoX to work with my Android device. This possibility has been mentioned in two other threads on this forum but I'd like to have a thread where people can discuss how to do this and post their successes.
My device is a Motorola Defy phone -- totally waterproof and surprisingly tough; I have taken it caving and would recommend it for cave use.
I guess the best starting point is to get TopoLinux working on Android. The new [url http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/]Necessitas Suite[/url] provides QT for Android, so it should be possible to get TopoLinux running.
I've also been thinking about porting Tunnel (survey program by Julian Todd) to Android and implementing DistoX data grabbing in that program. Since Tunnel is already written in Java, this seems fairly feasible.
Anyone want to collaborate on this stuff?
