OSC on Android
I just bought myself a HTC Hero so im starting to learn all the Android development stuff.
So the first thing i’ve tried is to see how easy it is to get my OSCLib stuff working. There isnt a lot to the actual library itself as most of the hard work is handled by Apache Mina. I started a new Android project in eclipse and just tried to send a simple OSC message to a test server on my local machine. It didnt work, the dalvik VM told me I had a verify error. I eventually narrowed this down to the SLF4J library. At this stage I had no clue about how to fix it so back to google to see if someone else had done the hardwork. 
I found this thread where Thorsten Möller says he actually has a version of slf4j but its not on the main site yet, just in his git repo. So after a clone of that and a run of maven I had a shiny new slf4j-android.jar which I’ve upload to my site here.
I added that jar to the dependencies of my OscAndroDemo test project and it worked. Easy.
All the source is available from the OSCLib assembla project. The main library is in /trunk/java, its an eclipse project and in there you can run the OSCServer class for testing. It’ll spit out some info to stdout when it receives a message. The android project is in /trunk/android/AndrOscDemo which you can check out from SVN directly into eclipse.
The demo just connects to 10.0.2.2:10000 and sends a single message. The next stage is to try and do some interesting stuff with the various sensors like the accelerometer and see if any issues arrive once I start sending lots of messages.

Hey Martin
My apologies, I’m a total noob with OSC, but I wanted to dive in now that my favorite sequencer is getting full OSC implementation.
I’ve been trying to get this working on my g1 to transmit to max/msp using the CNMAT max external. I’ve verified that max can receive, but my android device is unable to send.
I’m not getting any useful errors in eclipse, everything seems to be working but I’m not seeing anything in max.
Is OSCLib compatible with CNMAT?
Toss me an email if you don’t mind. I’d love to chat with you about this.

I got it working!
I made two noob mistakes.
#1 I forgot the . at the end of the osc command.
#2 The mac wanted to be on the wireless network, not the wired network.
Now for the fun part.

Does anyone know which sort of video files are supported? I keep in mind the Intuition only could dl 3gp utilizing opera mini. I downloaded the twist ap, maybe that is the issue? How can I watch videos from sites aside from youtube? Which file sorts? Normally I’m given the option of 3gp or mpeg4. Can’t get both to work. Thank you in your time! Rattling I want I was eligible for the improve to EVO!
