Announcing the new EMDK for Android

The EMDK for Android v2.0 provides developers with a comprehensive set of tools to easily create powerful line of business applications for enterprise mobile computing devices and is designed for use with Google’s Android SDK and Android Development Tools (ADT). The EMDK for Android includes class libraries, sample applications with source code, as well as all of the associated documentation to help your applications take full advantage of what our devices have to offer.

The EMDK’s exclusive Profile Manager Technology is an additional advantage for developers giving you a GUI based development tool built on our open framework. This allows you to write for fewer lines of code resulting in reduced development time, effort and errors. This innovative feature not only gives you easy access to critical functions such as bar code scanning and transaction processing via a magnetic stripe reader (MSR) but also functionality not available in Google’s Android SDK.

The Data Capture and Battery Intent API is now also part of the EMDK for Android allowing you to continue to leverage device data capture capabilities through Android Intent inter-application messaging system.  The EMDK for Android is the next progression of our development offerings, giving you the most choices whether you are new to Android, or have been developing with Android for some time.
