I’m trying to connect to an HMI that I have running Edge from an Android device. I am able to pull up the 8088 page just fine, but unable to go online with the HMI and view because I need to run the Java file that is downloaded. Is there a way to do this? The only other option I can come up with is to run VNC and install a VNC viewer on the tablet.

Vision Client won’t run on Android.

If you’re on 7.9 and have the old mobile module then either browser or VNC might work.
