RE: how to use Android DFU Library?

Serobegi — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 09:04:12 GMT

I checked the nRF Toolbox, but there are too many functions different from how to use the library. I only want to'OTA' one Zip file. Is there any easy way? I think I followed the DFU Library exactly, but it's too hard to work.

It has a structure that calls OTA activity from Main and returns to Main when completed. Can you tell me where the problem in my code is? I'm challenging OTA for the second week... and I'm staying in the same place every day. Please ask for confirmation once, and thank you for the reply.

otaStartButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                final DfuServiceInitiator starter = new DfuServiceInitiator(SwitchDeviceMac)
                        .setDeviceName(SwitchDeviceName)
                        .setKeepBond(false)
                        .setForceDfu(false)
                        .setPacketsReceiptNotificationsEnabled(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
                        .setPacketsReceiptNotificationsValue(DfuServiceInitiator.DEFAULT_PRN_VALUE)
                        .setUnsafeExperimentalButtonlessServiceInSecureDfuEnabled(true)
                        .setPrepareDataObjectDelay(300L);

                final File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Nordic");
                final File file = new File(root, "FILE");

                starter.setZip(file.getPath());
                final DfuServiceController controller = starter.start(OTA.this, DfuService.class);
            }
        });

         *

         * is a root activity (that means no other activity was open earlier) or that some
         * other activity is already open. In the latter case the NotificationActivity will just be
         * closed. The system will restore the previous activity. However, if the application has been
         * closed during upload and you click the notification, a NotificationActivity will
         * be launched as a root activity. It will create and start the main activity and
         * terminate itself.
         *
         * This method may be used to restore the target activity in case the application
         * was closed or is open. It may also be used to recreate an activity history using
         * startActivities(...).

Hello,

I am not sure if you are aware, but we have an application that is called "nRF Toolbox". It is described here, and that also contains a link to the Github with the source code.

nRF Toolbox has a module dedicated for DFU, so perhaps you can check the implementation on Github and use this as a starting point, and to see how it is used.

BR,
Edvin
