Introduction

This API can be used to communicate with a Shimmer3 device via Bluetooth. A good starting point will be the quick start guide and the wiki. Also other important resource will be the start guide for Android Studio 2024.2.1 Patch 2.

ShimmerAndroidAPI

The Shimmer Android API is currently in a BETA development state, users are free to use and provide feedback.

The latest version can be found here.

We recommend first time users go through the wiki.

Integration notes

Important ~ Migration to Github Packages

With JFrog removing services we have migrated to using Github Packages. This would be a good starting point. https://github.com/ShimmerEngineering?tab=packages&repo_name=ShimmerAndroidAPI with the following above we have made available the last two versions which were on JFrog 3.0.73 and 3.0.74

the following is also relevant that the Shimmer Java Android API is not a public repository https://github.com/ShimmerEngineering?tab=packages&repo_name=Shimmer-Java-Android-API

Important ~ Migration to JFrog

With Bintray being sunset, we have migrated to the use of JFrog. Should you face any problems please do not hesitate to contact us. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
