It's been a rather quiet time in the World of Elmo of late. The real World has, annoyingly, been encroaching with Birthdays and failed computers stealing a lot of my time away.
I have been working on the configuration of the remote app. I intend to store all the screen layouts on the server and download them to the device when needed since this gives a number of benefits in terms of system characteristics. I have managed to dynamically create tab views on the iPhone and am now working on a transport mechanism to get the information from the server on to the phone. Hopefully I will be able to devote a bit more time to this in the next couple of weeks.
Moving on, I've also been considering different control methods on the iPhone itself. A button box is only one of the possible solutions and I'd like to be a little more imaginative if I can.
I'm still treating this code as very much prototype but am starting to see ways of building in quite a lot of functionality in some rather interesting ways. Time will tell if these will work or not.
The next step is to complete the transposition of the iPhone software from a hardcoded button box to the genesis of a control browser, downloading content from the server.
