Android Tablet Remote App

Customer: AI | Published: 03.12.2025

I need an Android tablet application that completely replaces the current IR-based remote control for our Room VC endpoint. The endpoint already exposes an IR receiver plus an integrated WiFi/Bluetooth module, so the new app must talk to the device over either transport—automatic discovery on the local WiFi network and a seamless fallback to Bluetooth when WiFi is unavailable. Core behaviours mirror the existing handset only: screen navigation (directional pad, OK/Back, Home) and volume up/down with on-screen feedback. No additional app-launching logic is required at this stage; the goal is a “virtual remote” that feels as snappy as the physical one but without line-of-sight limits. I will provide: • the current IR key map • protocol details for the WiFi/BLE control interface • product UI guidelines and icon assets Deliverables I expect within one month: • Signed APK ready for sideloading on our in-house Samsung tablets • Complete, well-commented Android Studio project (Kotlin preferred, Java acceptable) • Quick-start PDF covering pairing, IP discovery, and basic troubleshooting • One revision cycle after internal testing to fix critical issues The project is straightforward, yet reliability and low-latency command handling are essential, so please be comfortable with Android networking/BLE APIs and clean Material-style UI implementation.
