An array is returned as

number,number,number, etc.

So you would get back a long string from GetVariable which you would then need to parse using something like StringTokenizer.

Ok, then you probably have not turned on the API server in RoboRealm? See the documentation on how to do that. Options button->API tab->etc.

How did you change the port from 6060 to 5050 without turning the API on?

Try

telnet localhost 5050

or

telnet 127.0.0.1 5050

and see if that works. Your code seems fine and should do the job.

Yes, you can set values for the ssc by using the rr.setVariable and putting those variables into the appropriate SSC channel.

Same with circle count (once a connection works) ... using

String circleCountStr = rr.getVariable("CIRCLE_COUNT")
int circleCount = Integer.parseInt(circleCountStr);

i am trying to use the test.java code given in api folder. and while doing telnet what you think my machine name or ip would be my both softwares are on same machine... m attaching the code i have written, also the RR_API files has constructor which doesnt have definition body... so do you think its because of that.

also do yo uthink that i will be able to set values for ssc-32 added in roborealm using java and access variables such as CIRCLE_COUNT and CIRCLES in java.

I assume you are using the Java code provided in the API download?

Did you change the port to 5050? The default is 6060.

If your Java code does not work try telnet as in

telnet machine_name_or_ip_address 6060

and then paste in

<request><get_variable>IMAGE_NUM</get_variable></request>

to see if you get a response. This will ensure that RR is running and responding to API requests. If this all works out then something is going wrong in your Java code. Best to include it here in a zip so that everyone can test the actual code.
