Ardroid the simple android OSC Ardour controller

hi,
i found Lincoln Spiteri’s “Ardroid” on old ardour svn reposetory. http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/thirdparty/ardroid/ .
also an nice howto i found here. http://libremusicproduction.com/tutorials/ardroid-android-application-how-use-it-ardour
i have a question about.

  • it is allowed to redistribute the code on github? i found no license information in the code base.

my question is because i port it now to Androidstudio and start develop on Lincoln Spiteri code base. i like the simple layout. it is an interesting tool for recording. not for mixing or real editing. but as simple remote controller for recording it is imo perfect.
i am on hope, if i create an github repository that people who like this app also contribute to improve this small app.

for example i plan to add some extra buttons to add marker and jump to next/prev marker. i already create SeekBar based track Volume fader.

@wolke,

“it is allowed to redistribute the code on github? i found no license information in the code base.”

This is the only reference to licence I have found: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=ardroid&fdid=org.ardour It says GPL3.

There seem to be at least two other projects for the android using the same name and ardroid (for Ardour) has not been touched since 2012.

“for example i plan to add some extra buttons to add marker and jump to next/prev marker. i already create SeekBar based track Volume fader.”

The author seems to want to head in the same direction as you. However, I could find no mention of license for this either. It seems the author has left contact info though, so I would ask. I think it is based on ardroid to some extent and may share licensing… But I don’t know.

As a further comment, It seems the OSC lib that everyone uses for the android is flawed/incomplete. It assumes it is sending at least one parameter and can not send just a path (with no parameter). Next/previous marker does not use a parameter, for example. But: /ardour/access_action Editor/jump-forward-to-mark
would work… though I don’t know if this also moves the playhead.

i also think that ardouvy is based on Ardroid. but it do not work here on my nexus7 tablet. it crash and freeze. also if it is not crashing it do not connect to ardour. at least it is closed.

Next/previous marker works here like a charm.

think, i will create an git repo and push my code :). i call it adroid-export
if its doubt i can remove it.

if pople like to contribute

One thing I like better about ardroid over ardouvy is the seek bar. In ardroid you can see the cursor move in ardour as you move ardroid’s seek bar. in ardouvy the cursor in ardour doesn’t move until you finish seek bar move. i also agree that the marker function in ardourvy works great. will definitely give ardroid-export a go. thanks for your work on that.
