Required is a tiny app that allows bluetooth pairing of 2 devices and to play soundfiles on a remote android device using the active bluetooth [login to view URL] formats: Common sound files like mp3, wave...if you manage Cross Platform compatibility to have it ready for ios tagen a upgrade of the Money can be considered. One device is the controller, one is the sound player. But there should only be one app that needs to be installed. No separate app for controller or player should be required! The app must me extremely easy to use even for people not very common with bluetooth pairing (of the 2 devices). The app is installed on both devices, the users then must be able to pair the devices with an easy to use workflow and decide which device will be the controller and which device will be the sound player. When the devices are paired (BT connection active), you should have the opportunity to start the app on the Player device even if the app is not currently running (in the foreground). (So probably you need to implement it as a service?) So the technical requirements are: * Sound files are preinstalled (compiled into the app) in beta phase. Option to choose from music library will probably be implemented later. * Layout of screens must be optimized for different resolutions, but this should be easy since the interface/screens are quite savage * Controls and layout of settings screens should have nice , wizard like skin if possible (Nice to have) * Detect if devices are already paired and control connection ongoing: show error if connection is lost on both devices..... This should be some sort of Status LED (Red, Green light). * Initial Screen to allow users to pair devices (if devices are paired, show option to choose if the remote device is the right one, maybe a user has a bluetooth connection active to another device like his hands free system) -> Deal with the possible options. User should finally be able to set up the connection between 2 phones / tablets. It would be okay for me to have the Android bluetooth settings shown to users, but since people might not know how to use them, so an easier interface / workflow would be helpful (but is no must have). (Button on both devices + click turns on bluetooth and scans for devices. when devices are found, user gets selection to which device to connect). But basically it is quite similiar to what the Android OS implemented bluetooth settings screen does.... So: If you think you can faciliate pairing it would be great.....(Nice to have) * If possible: prevent calls on player device, while this device is in Player mode.... (Could be an optional checkbox on Player device) -> Nice to have if it is possible. * If the connection is set up and all checks are okay, user gets a button to proceed --> you get the operational app screen after clicking on this button: * This actual app screen shows a) Label that shows if device is controller or player b) Status of bluetooth connection c1) Additional controls on controller device 1) Option to control sound volume on remote device (nice to have). Could also be a setting directly on the sound Player device. 2) List of sound files + for each title 2 buttons: One button to list to sound (directly on controller device) + another button to play sound (on remote device) c2) Additional controls on player device: 1) Show some "play animation" or just a speaker icon to indicate its in "player" mode. d) Since these functions should be quite basic, it would be great if you could make the app with a program that makes it compatible with iOS IF YOU MAKE A BID: --------------------------------------- Then please specify which of the options / features your quote would include (All nice to haves , or only some?) Would you make the app in a program / format that allows easy migration to IOS?

Hi, I am an android app developer with more than 4 years of hands on coding experience. Please go though my profile and completed projects to get a more idea. About the project: From what I read from descripton sees to be implementable in less than 10 days. The controller and client can be in same app. No need for seperate apks. We will use a sticky ongoing service which will always be in background without much processing(to avoid heavy battery usage). we will listen to Bluetooth broadcasts to check for the occurrence of pairing and present user our ui using which he can select devices to connect to. Once he selects client, and select the track to play from server, we will pass the extra track id/name. On client, we will check the track name and load the associated music/sound file which will be bundled in asset folder (these files will be copied to sdcard at first start). All the rest of requirements seems to be fine for me except for theme for the settings layout. This may require some efforts since we are supporting multiple [login to view URL] I think, it will be great if we choose to do the same in native android than hybrid platforms, since with my experience, hybrid platforms has got many limitations around hardware communication. Please let me know if you want to know anything in specific. Thanks for your time, Rahul
