Yes. I built my own copy of the SdkController app and managed to track
down the bug.
The problem was (and presumably still is) that a string in the protocol
being sent from the emulator to the app was being corrupted with four
leading zero bytes. I didn't investigate the emulator code, but my
assumption is that a struct-padding issue somewhere means that an extra
word is being inserted into the stream of data when the emulator is
compiled for MS Windows, but not for the Mac. (So the proper solution would
be to track down where this is happening and process the relevant fields
individually, rather than take the containing struct as a whole.)
But for my purposes, I came up with a hack in the app file
Connection.java. The string being corrupted is the channel name, causing
the method getChannel() to return null -
**
*public* Channel getChannel(String name){
* for* (Channel channel : mChannels) {
* if* (channel.getChannelName().equals(name)) {
* return* channel;
}
}
return null;
}
So I added a couple of lines within the above for loop to do wildcard
matches on the only two channels that currently exist (sensor and
multitouch) -
*if* (channel.getChannelName().matches(".*sen.*")&& name.matches(".*sen.*")
) {
*return* channel;
}
*if* (channel.getChannelName().matches(".*multi.*")&& name.matches(
".*multi.*") ) {
*return* channel;
}
Ugly, but it got things working.
To be honest, I didn't then do much with it, so I don't know if there are
other issues. The fact that something so fundamental went unnoticed
suggests there may well be.
