To Log CAN-message data on a SnartPhone or Tablet, one would need:
1. An app (call it LogApp) for the OS on the desired device,
2. An input port, perhaps USB, that the LogApp can read rapidly.
3. Writing the binary bytes to a potentially-large file should be "easy".
The SOC-Meter's Logging Port is a high speed (115,200 baud) 3-wire (In, Out, Gnd) RS232 port. Usually, for use with a PC, a good-quality RS232-to-USB adapter is used to connect to the Logging device.
When the adapter's system support (driver) makes the adapter look like a Virtual COMM Port, it is usually easy to make a program (like CAN-Do for Windows) that will read the 11-byte binary messages and store them.
So, a minimal "Dumb Terminal" type app that can read binary bytes from the Input port and write them to a file would get us started.
I have a Vizio VTAB1008 tablet (8-inch touch screen, and Android), with a USB port, but no Android-related programming experience.
But, comments and progress of the interested persons should go into this thread.
