FLX and MQTT

FLX v1.2.3 released today has support for creating MQTT clients with fully customisable UIs. FLX includes a new MQTT API based on Eclipse Paho MQTT library. With this new API it is possible to create your own MQTT clients that can:

Create connections to MQTT Brokers
Subscribe and unsubscribe arbitrary topics
Receive messages for the subscribed topics
Publish messages via a connected broker for defined topics

FLX v1.2.3 includes a simple MQTT demo which uses HiveMQ’s Public MQTT Broker. The demo is provided as a project template. FLX v1.2.4 will have a more advanced MQTT client demo with a UI consisting of three UI screens:

Settings Screen: Setting up a broker connections and subscribed topics
Received messages screen: Displays all the messages received for subscribed topics
Publishing screen: For sending messages to the selected topics

Unlike any existing MQTT Client App available for Android, A MQTT client implemented with FLX is fully customisable UI and logic wise:

Implement your own automated re-connect policy
Write logic using visual connect to utilise any API provided in FLX: HTTP API, IFTTT API, File API, Android Sensors API
Implement desired UI consisting of any number of UI screens and by using large set of UI widgets:
- Button and clickable Icon or Image
- Text, MarkupText and TextField (input)
- RadioButton and RadioButtonGroup
- CheckBox
- Spinner
- Switch
- Slider
- List
- BottomSheet (modal)
- Layouts: Row, Column, Stack, Center, ScrollView
