Overview 概览
You will need certain API calls regardless of your use case. These are related to configuring, connecting to, and disconnecting from the Tango service.无论你是什么使用案例,你都需要某些API调用。
Before calling any other functions of the Tango API, you must do the following:
- Declare
Tango
andTangoConfig
objects. - Initialize the instance of the
Tango
object. This binds your app to the Tango service and defines the configuration. - Begin tracking data.
Each step is detailed below, along with the additional task of disconnecting from the service. The code snippets are based on the project structures used in the Tango example projects provided by Google‘s Tango team. We recommend that you download the examples (you can learn how on the "Getting Started with the Tango Java API"page) and then examine at least one of them to get a better idea of how all this works within the context of a functioning Tango app. Keep in mind that the example project structures are guides, not requirements; you are free to structure your project however you see fit.
Because the operations detailed here relate to how your application starts, runs, and exits, the "Key Points" suggest where to put each operation in the android Activity Lifecycle.
Declare Tango and TangoConfig objects
private Tango mTango;
private TangoConfig mConfig;
Initialize the instance of the Tango object
mTango = new Tango(MainActivity.this, new Runnable(){
// Operations performed by the Runnable object
}
As you can see, a new Runnable object is created on the spot and passed as an argument. The Runnable object contains the code that defines the configuration and connects the app to the service. You‘ll examine those operations in more detail in a moment.
Key Point: We recommend that when your app leaves the active state, it disconnects from the Tango service. Because configuring and connecting to the service takes place in the Runnable object when you initializemTango
, you should initialize mTango
in either the onStart()
or onResume()
callback method, and disconnect from the service in the onPause()
callback method. For more information, see Starting an Activity.
Bind to the service
You don‘t need to implement this; the code to bind to the service is in the constructor for the Tango
object.
Define the configuration
After the app binds to the service, the Runnable
object runs on a new thread. Here‘s the full code snippet for the Runnable
object, in context:
mTango = new Tango(MainActivity.this, new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
synchronized (MainActivity.this) {
try {
mConfig = setupTangoConfig(mTango);
mTango.connect(mConfig);
startupTango();
} catch (TangoOutOfDateException e) {
Log.e(TAG, getString(R.string.exception_out_of_date), e);
} catch (TangoErrorException e) {
Log.e(TAG, getString(R.string.exception_tango_error), e);
} catch (TangoInvalidException e) {
Log.e(TAG, getString(R.string.exception_tango_invalid), e);
}
}
}
});
The mConfig
object will contain the configuration. You initialize it by calling setupTangoConfig()
and passing it the instance of Tango
you created earlier:
mConfig = setupTangoConfig(mTango);
In the setupTangoConfig()
method, you create a new TangoConfig
object, initialize it with the default configuration, and then continue to add configuration parameters you want. Here is the full code snippet:
private TangoConfig setupTangoConfig(Tango tango) {
TangoConfig config = tango.getConfig(TangoConfig.CONFIG_TYPE_DEFAULT);
config.putBoolean(TangoConfig.KEY_BOOLEAN_AUTORECOVERY, true);
return config;
}
This method works as follows:
TangoConfig config = tango.getConfig(TangoConfig.CONFIG_TYPE_DEFAULT);
Create a new TangoConfig
object and initialize it with the default configuration. To get that configuration, call the getConfig()
method on tango
, which is the Tango
object you passed in to setupTangoConfig()
. getConfig()
returns a configuration from the Tango service (in this case, CONFIG_TYPE_DEFAULT
, the default configuration) and assigns it to config
. This is the standard way to initialize a TangoConfig
object before defining custom parameters and locking that configuration.
config.putBoolean(TangoConfig.KEY_BOOLEAN_MOTIONTRACKING, true);
Now you can add other configuration parameters, such as this one. The putBoolean()
method adds a boolean parameter to config
. With KEY_BOOLEAN_MOTIONTRACKING
set to true
, if motion tracking enters an invalid state, it attempts to recover by immediately returning to the initializing state in the pose lifecycle.
return config;
The config
instance returns and is assigned to mConfig
.
Begin tracking data
mTango.connect(mConfig);
The data is available through polling and callbacks.
Disconnect from the service
Call mTango.disconnect(). This frees the Tango service for other applications to use. Before you can use the service again, the connect()
method must be called:
mTango.connect(mConfig);
This should occur if the connect()
method is located in the onResume()
callback method, as suggested earlier.
TangoService_disconnect
from the onPause()
callback method.
