Viewer Android
The Android viewer.
The Andriod viewer works on phones and tablets (Android 8 "Oreo" or later). On phones it only works in landscape mode.
The viewers do connect to the ShowPulse instance in the network automatically. If you have multiple ShowPulse instances running in your network the viewers will connect to the first ShowPulse that respons.
If the ShowPulse server is not in the same network you can still connect by entering its IP address or hostname in the settings.
When the viewer is connect you see the main view with chords and lyrics and the transport info on the top-left and the current song name on the top-right. The parts are shown on the left hand side for orientation within the song.
The transport section shows the current bar and beat, the time signature and the current tempo.
Comments will be displayed on the right hand side.
when the song has sheet music as images those will be shown instead of chords and lyrics.
The image will be scalled to fit the screen automatically.
