MonoBrick Tunnel for Android 5.0.2 Issue

[nato logic]

I have been using MonoBrick Tunnel for Android for several months now and it has been working perfectly until recently. After I upgraded the Android device to 5.0.2 (I was running 4.4) I found that the app crashed whenever I attempted to access the “Settings” menu (the rightmost of the 3 buttons in the app).

Furthermore I found myself unable to stream video to Windows MonoBrick Remote from the tunnel app even when all other functions (motor control, sensor reading) worked perfectly. I am not sure if this is a related issue, because the video streaming worked (albeit on a different computer) when I ran Android 4.4.

Reinstalling the app was no help and just cleared the NXT brick from being a connected device, rendering the tunnel totally useless…oops.

I have no means of “downgrading” back to 4.4 and I was wondering if anyone else had similar issues or a solution.

Thanks!

Hi there

Sorry to hear that the tunnel is no longer working. Currently I am working on the EV3 firmware so an update is not the top priority. But if you are interested the code for the tunnel can be found here. You need Xamarin Android to compile the whole thing.

I can confirm I couldn’t make work neither the android remote nor the android tunnel with android 5.0 and over (tried on 3 different cellphones). All was fine using an older cellphone with android 4.1.
