Android – connection problem with Tobii REX

[Tom]

Hi,

Recently I tried to connect with Tobii REX from Android device. On Windows everything works well. Eye tracker has TCP firmware. I using tet-tcp://172.28.195.1 parameter in function tobiigaze_create. When I trying to launch sample code “MinimalTracker” on Windows – it’s work. On the other hand on Android function tobiigaze_connect always returns as a result error code 202 – no matter if eye tracker is connected using usb or not. I have Android device with 4.2.2 OS and of course usb host, but without root rights.

If I need to install on Android some drivers or something like that?

I will be gratefull for any advice and help.

Hi Tom,
unfortunately the existing Gaze SDK for Android requires root access in order to set up the networking interfaces. We’re currently working on a new version that does not have this limitation: stay tuned, it should be released in a few weeks.
