How to start WebEngine Apps with Android SDL - CustomSDL/sdl_android_launcher GitHub Wiki

Note: Emulator should already be started at this point. HMI should be started and connected according to guide at this step.

Make sure you have started deploy server from sdl_hmi folder: ./deploy_server.sh

  1. First of all, locate ADB tool which is by default in your SDK folder:

Android/Sdk/platform-tools

  1. Run the following command from terminal:

./adb forward tcp:2020 tcp:2020

This will redirect TCP port 2020 from your host machine to 2020 port of your emulated device. Port 2020 is default port for connection with WebEngine applications.

  1. Open your WebHMI, go to apps menu and click App Store. Click on Hello WebEngine app in the list:

hello_webengine

  1. Set "enabled" property to true:

webengine_enabled

  1. Return to app list menu, click on Hello WebEngine app which should be highlighted with yellow font on the menu:

webengine_loaded

  1. Note that by default "SDL port" is 2020, because this port is used for connection with WebEngine apps. In the popup window, just click Activate App:

activate_webengine

  1. Application should be launched at this point:

webengine_active
