Connexions App for Android Released


The Connexions team is launching an Android application for the Connexions website. The App has the following functionality:
  • Search Connexions using Google Site Search and view Modules and Collections found in the search results.
  • View the list of Lenses from Connexions, view the content of a Lens and view the Module or Collection that is part of a Lens
  • Save a search, Lens, Module or Collection to a list of Favorites that is stored locally on the phone. It is not the same list of Favorites you might have on the Connexions site. There is no login required. You can select a favorite from the Favorites tab and view it.
The app is free and can be downloaded from Connexions. It is also in the Android Market. The application help file gives a good overview. Source code for the app is released under an LGPL license like all of our other code so it is free and open source.

The app was tested on an Archos 32, Droid X, Droid, enTourage eDGe and a Haipad M701 using Android versions 1.6 to 2.2. If you try out the app, let us know what you think at techsupport@cnx.org.

  2. Android OS based smartphones have been selling really well during the last few months, and some of the credit must go the large number of apps that are being created for android smartphones
