Installation & Usage




EDT ships as a Package consisting of five parts:
  1. The .apk installer package.
  2. The .aar Android™ Library.
  3. A „javadocs“ folder containing the EDT API documentation (the documentation you are looking at right now).
  4. A PDF manual.

The following chapters explain how to deal with each parts of the EDT Package.

Installing EDT to your CASIO Device

EDT ships as an .apk Installer package for installation on your CASIO device.

Inside the EDT Package there are manual installation files named „EDT <version number> for <device type>.apk“, where <version number> denotes the version of the regarding EDT installation file, and <device type> denotes the device which the particular installation file is valid for. Please copy the file „EDT <version number> for <device type>.apk“ (might appear as „EDT <version number> for <device type>“ if file extensions are not shown on your PC) to your CASIO device into a folder of your choice and start it there.

The following steps describe the installation in detail, assuming that the „EDT <version number> for <device type>.apk“ file is located in the root folder of your C: drive and should be installed from the root folder of your CASIO device:

  1. Connect your CASIO device to your PC via USB. Please consult the Software Manual of your CASIO device regarding details of connection procedure.
  2. On your PC’s Desktop, click/double click on My Computer to open the explorer and navigate to „This PC → <device type> → Internal shared storage.
  3. On your PC’s Desktop, click/double click on My Computer to open the explorer once more. Click/double click the entry for your local C: drive to open the file list of drive C:
  4. Click and hold the file „EDT <version number> for <device type>.apk“ (might appear as „EDT <version number> for <device type>“ if file extensions are not shown on your PC).
  5. Drag the file to the devices’ „Internal shared storage“ Window and drop it in an empty area of the right window pane. The file will now be copied from your PC’s C: drive to the root folder of your CASIO device.
  6. Take your CASIO device, open the pre-installed File Manager, and tap on the file „EDT <version number> for <device type>.apk“ in the root folder of the device to start the installation process.
  7. Confirm any questions issued by your device to proceed through the installation process.

Installing EDT to your Android Studio Project

In order to utilize EDT as a Developer, it is mandatory to install the .aar library and it’s accompanying „aidl“ folder accordingly.
Furthermore, it’s recommended to install the „javadocs“ folder properly as well, but this last step is optional.
Please follow the instructions from the following subchapters to perform all necessary steps to get started with EDT.

Importing the .aar EDT Library to your Android Studio Project

When developing an application that controls extended functions that require system access, import the EDT Library. The library import is required for each project.

Open the project from the Android Studio, select „New Module“ dialog with



Select „Import .JAR/.AAR Package“ and select „Next“.



Press the 📁 icon of „File name“ and specify the EDT Library (AAR) to be imported.



Click „Finish” to complete the import process.



Select [File] → [Project Structure ...].



Open the [Dependencies] tab, and check if „EDT Library“ exists. If it exists, subsequent operations are unnecessary.



Select „+“ button and select [Module Dependency].



Check the „EDT Library“ and select „OK“. Check that library dependency is in place.



Updating the .aar EDT Library of your Android Studio Project

To update the EDT Library in your Android Studio project to a newer version, you need to unregister the existing version of the EDT Library and import a new one.

To unregister the EDT Library, remove the implementation of the EDT Library in your project’s build.gradle file.



In order to delete the EDT Library folder from your project, right-click on your project tree and select „Show in Explorer”.



Select the EDT Library folder and remove it.

Import the updated EDT Library as described in the previous chapter „Importing the .aar EDT Library to your Android Studio Project”.



Importing the „javadocs” documentation to your Android Studio Project

Importing the „javadocs“ documentation is optional but strongly recommended. Not only does the „javadocs“ documentation folder hold the complete EDT API documentation, but this step also enables you as a developer to utilize the built-in „Quick Documentation“ inline help while using the EDT API in your project.

While the „javadocs“ folder can basically resist anywhere on your PC or in any other location Android Studio has access to, in this sample we will show you how to copy the „javadocs“ folder to your project first, in order to have all contents of your project in one place, and in order to get the „javadocs“ folder to reside in the most suitable place inside your project.

From an arbitrary Windows Explorer instance, copy the „javadocs“ folder shipped with the EDT package.



Open your project application’s tree.
Right-click on the project’s main branch and select „New“ → „Directory”.



Enter „docs“ for the new Directory name and hit „Enter“.



Right click on the newly created „docs” folder, select „New“ → „Directory” again, enter „EDT” for the new Directory name and hit „Enter“.



Right click on the newly created „EDT” folder and select „Paste” to paste the „javadocs“ folder to this location.



Click „OK“ to confirm the paste process.



Navigate to the „.idea” → „libraries” tree of your project and open the „Gradle__artifacts_EDT_Library_<…whatever …>.xml” file.



Change the „JAVADOC” entry of the xml file to reflect the location for your „javadocs” folder.



Make sure that the „Quick Documentation” feature of Android Studio is enabled.
Click „File” → „Settings”, open the „Editor” branch and select „General”.
Scroll down and make sure that „Show quick documentation on mouse move” is ticked.



You can now utilize Android Studio’s „Quick Documentation” feature in conjunction with the EDT Library.
