Spark-Dev include libs

[pteja]

Continuing the discussion from Spark-Dev IDE Questions:

How can Spark libs from cloud be included?

This, for example, works in the web IDE but not in Spark-Dev:

 #include "flashee-eeprom/flashee-eeprom.h"

@MarkusL Hi there! So you are using Spark Dev also. If I am not wrong about this. App code was invalid could be cause if there are other files in the very same folder as your .ino file.

I just used the Spark Dev app and get "App code was invalid" error.

1. So you might have to create a new empty folder and place your .ino file inside the Spark Dev is quite picky on this. Below is another thread that people, including me, faced the same problems.

Spark Dev: app code was invalid

@harrisonhjones I was about to do that hahaha. But anyway it is working for me already. Reading @cayuse and @rog3r posts I realize that even .html or .js files cannot be inside as well. The folder must be plain empty except for the .ino file that I am using... Really very picky program hahaha.

2. If you have libraries that you need to use that are only available in the Web IDE. Open those files you need and do a copy and paste on to a blank notepad and save it as it's respective type. (Examples like .h or .cpp For your case flash-eeprom.h) Then put this files in the same folder as your .ino file. Then in your .ino file, just simply put a #include "flash-eeprom.h" and it should be working.

Hope this helps

Currently to add library to your project you have to manually download it to your project.
When you go to web IDE -> Libraries -> Library you want to use there’s link to its GitHub repository (small GH icon).
Just download it and copy contents of its firmware directory without examples dir to your project.
Then include it with:

 #include "flashee-eeprom.h"

Notice lack of nested directories, which are not supported in Spark Dev yet (we’re working on it though).
