Android: How do you update the calculator?

[mfleming]

I again tried to get the non-working PC Connectivity Kit to connect to my Android devices. After more than an hour of struggling with Windows Firewall rules and permissions, I was about ready to give up. I decided to check the options for the HP Prime emulator that was running on the same PC as the Connectivity Kit.

In the Edit/Preferences dialog, there is a checkbox to enable IP Networking for the PC emulator. The option didn't make much sense for an emulator running on the same host as the kit, but what's to lose? Checking the box, then restarting the Connectivity Kit and emulator, the emulator showed up in the Local, Emulator and Network groups.

I started an Android calculator and, lo and behold, it connected and showed up in the same Local, Emulator and Network groups. Both of my Android devices now appear, and I can drag and drop things between them.

Color me stupefied, but happy. Perhaps something was needed to kick-start networking?

Whatever,
