08 Native applications

Material can send status updates, current toolbar colors, and active player id, to native Android (and iOS?) applications. To enable this in material, pass the nativeStatus, nativeColors, and nativePlayer query parameters, e.g.:

• http://<yourserver>:9000/material/?nativeColors&nativePlayer&nativeStatus

Your Android app then needs something like the following:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    ...
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ....
        webView.loadUrl("http://<yourserver>:9000/material/?native");
        webView.addJavascriptInterface(this, "NativeReceiver");
    }

    @JavascriptInterface
    public void updateStatus(String status){
        // 'status' is JSON string
    }

    @JavascriptInterface
    public void updatePlayer(String playerId){
    }

    @JavascriptInterface
    public void updateToolbarColors(String topColor, String bottomColor){
    }
}
