Hi all
One of our customer use the application Collabora Office for Android to fill forms with Calcs.
The Android device which hosts the application has no network connection. All the application on the device, Collabora Office included, must run offline.
Our own application is also deployed on the device.
Our application has to control the Calcs form: enter values in cells, be notified when a cell changed, etc…
On Windows with Microsoft Office Excel, you can do this through interop libraries. But on Android, an application cannot “observe” or control another application in a similar way.
It seems there is CollaboraOnline SDK but it seems it is dedicated to the “online” version of Collabora with a server and a front view to display the document. Isn’t it?
One of my colleague suggested to add a macro on the Calc sheets to communication with our application (through websocket for example).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this, or at least some tips to share to help me?
Thanks you Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can provide to assist me
[EDIT: maybe creating a plugin or an extension for Collabora and use it to communicate with my app would be a solution. But is it possible to do that with Collabora for Android? Do you have any links/samples that could help me?
