Playing SCORM on Android devices

Question

I\'ve got few questions about Android and SCORM. In both areas I\'m pretty new and I only spent one evening digging the web in search of some answers.

I don't have any Android experience, but I have some experience working with SCORM.

To play a SCORM object, you need to open the right file inside the right environment, the right file is stated in the imsmanifest.xml file, that will be always in the top level of the zip package, you have to look for something like this:

This means that you have to open index.htm in the top level, in general you have to look for the first resource with adlcp:scormtype="sco" (if you need more details, read the SCORM spec).

When this page loads, it will look for the API object, it must be in the parent window, or parent frame, you will need a dummy SCORM API, something like:

function ScormAPIClass()
{   
    this.GetLastError = function (){return 0};
    this.GetErrorString = function (param){return ""};
    this.GetDiagnostic = function (param){return ""};
    this.SetValue = function (element, value){
                                              //you need something else here
                                              return true};
    this.GetValue = this.SetValue = function (element){
                                                       //you need something else here
                                                       return true};
    this.Initialize = function (param){return true};;
    this.Terminate = function (param){return true};
    this.Commit = function (param){return true};;
    this.version = "1.0";
}


window.API_1484_11 = new ScormAPIClass();

The SCORM objects will assume that you API works, so, if the set and get functions are not real this can generates errores depending on the object logic. Also, I did not tested the code, is only to give you an idea of what you need.

I hope this help you.
