    • Storage options: internal storage, SD card or Android's SQlite database

  • Plot Support
    • Draw individual time series on nice plots
    • Ready-to-use plot fragment for easy UI integration

The library as well as this website are intended for developers. It mainly offers download, documentation and contact information.

Flower Power for Android is still beta and in an early stage of development, but it's open: comments, bug reports and contributions are warmly welcome !

Credits go to Sandeep Mistry (for a pioneering JavaScript library), Moritz (for the first publicly available Android proof-of-concept) and Jerome (for information and motivation).
