Shane Wall CTO: Ride the waves of innovation with us. Surf's up!

Welcome to the HP Inc. Developers' Portal. Here you will find insights into what HP has in store for developers. 3D printing. Blended reality. Software that makes hardware more useful. As HP creates SDKs and APIs, you will learn about them here first.

Augmented Reality: Advice from an AR Creative Director.

In his years pioneering Augmented Reality at Aurasma and now HP Reveal, Chris Burgess has watched companies struggle to measure ROI – how Augmented Reality can improve the company's Financial Reality. As with any new technology, there is confusion around what AR can and can't do. In this blog post, originally published on LinkedIn, Chris shares lessons learned and wise advice for anyone using – or thinking about using – Augmented Reality.

Will ARKit & ARCore ruin augmented reality for the rest of the industry?

When Pokemon Go came onto the scene, Augmented Reality finally received the prominence early adopters like HP's Chris Burgess had been expecting. With the arrival of ARKit and ARCore, the world really went AR mad. Apple and Google unleashed their latest tech for developers to start demonstrating what they can do, and so far it seems the possibilities are endless. However, Burgess wants to see AR content generation made even easier for "non-techies."

News and Events

Link for Android Mobile SDK Version 1.1.0 Now Available

HP is pleased to announce the release of version 1.1.0 of the Link for Android Mobile SDK.

In August of this year we announced the Developers Release of JetAdvantage Link SDKs on the Developer’s Portal, providing developers powerful and simpler ways to create print and scan integrations for end-users. We are improving our platform in our latest release, JetAdvantage Link for Android Mobile SDK version 1.1.0.

Link for Android Mobile SDK (version 1.1.0):

Please note: A device firmware upgrade to FutureSmart Bundle 4.7 is recommended but not required for use with this SDK. Find and download the firmware here.

Download the new SDK from the Download page.

Major new features of this version include:

PrintFromStream – Print files as stream types (See HP JetAdvantageLinkSDK-forMobile-PrintSampleOverview_v1.1.0.pdf)
Improved Javadoc

Other notable changes include:

An issue with stapler options has been fixed with FutureSmart Bundle 4.7 (com.hp.jetadvantage.link.api.printer)
Minor Bug fixes

Restrictions:

[PRINT] TIFF/TXT should be printed with document format as “pdf”
[PRINT] “STREAM” only allows “prn” file type

App Gallery disabled in FutureSmart Bundle 4.7

The App Gallery has been disabled in FutureSmart Bundle 4.7

The on-device App Gallery has been disabled in FutureSmart Bundle 4.7. If usage is attempted, a message stating “This app has been disabled” will be displayed. Please do not report this as an issue to the SDK support forum.

App Gallery will return in a future FutureSmart release as a tool more tailored for use by resellers (not end users). Among the changes being considered, a verified reseller login may be required to use the App Gallery.

In the coming months, watch for more announcements related to reseller-focused app deployment tools and capabilities. This will include the redesigned App Gallery as well as a new web-based HP App Manager tool to enable remote deployment to fleets of Printers/MFPs (currently in Beta).

Note: The HPK tool and LDB are still be available for app testing purposes.
