i mean, is that possible to develop a SW for ppc,
Which shows a mouse in ppcs screen, and we can use navigator key control the mouse.
That's quite easy, but would there be much point?
The program you're using would then loose use of the control pad.
An idea tho would be, say:
Record button toggles mouse (shows/hides cursor)
Joystick/pad controls mouse cursor
Contacts button sends left click
Calendar button sends context menu click.
It could work. I might play with this sometime. :wink:

there is a soft for virtual mouse
if u have a ppc with usb host function then u can connect ur computer's mouse to the ppc using the usb connection there is a software available for the mouse pointer here's the link
http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/download.html
u can make it someting special.
for exmaple.
in SW setting we can choose by which programme activating the mouse.

yes i know about this.
but a virtual mouse does not mean only a tool to control the ppcpe.
it can be very helpful for one hand ppcpe operating.
sometimes we have only one free hand to use ppcpe.
Hi vijay or other developer
Any development/thought on virtual mouse - I like the idea of non stylus control of my wizard esp when in case. You could assign a button to switch on and off. You could call it VJmouse or VJrodent I would pay for this - I know that's music to your ears
Cheers
generating mouse clicks is easy enough but the drawing of the cursor in different locations would be the harder part. I have not seen cursors drawn in places other than the centre. How could that be done without drawing to the screen buffer?
One possible idea is a transparent window, say a 16 by 16. Any way I just wanted to mention that HP iPaq 4700 has a native app in its ROM that shows a mouse cursor and lets the arrow key area act as a touch pad just like on a laptop.
Guys, this is by the guy that did the FileDialogChanger, a genius in his own time:

Please indicate if it does or doesn't work. I don't think it would be too difficult to write a new mouse emulator, but there's no point reinventing the mouse wheel :wink:

Thanks vijay that's wicked
Finally true one handed operation of my pda - es
So I want have to pay you all my bucks after all!
I have tried this app and it is really good but has a couple of bugs. one is that it won't delete or backspace on the virtual keyboard, second it call and end call buttons and softkeys are immobilized when the fake cursor is operational. If it could be developed further and possibly include other pointer styles it would be an excellent app - I think marketable and some thing that should be part of the OS.
Smartphone users will be particularly interested as I am being a long trrm spv user.
cheers
wicked man... I like it
kudoos to the developer

I'd be interested in a "mouse" or "Cursor control" app.
IMHO the one thing missing from the Universal is a "clit-mouse" (the tiny joystick type thing you used to get on Laptops). I dont' think it would have been that hard to implement physically either.

can someone describe exactly what this does?
Does it slow the device down at all?
(and has anyone translated the txt file in that zip???? )
Yes works qute will as a cursor / mouse you can control with d-pad. no does not slow device down and no can't translate txt but is quite self explanatory when you use. Give it a go tis cool!
Find attached for other users in case link goes down
I have added mouse cursor just place in same directory as fake cursor.exe and you will have typical mouse pointer.

I assume the .exe in the zip is for installing over Activesync? Or is it run on the PPC itself?
Run on ppc itself - i stuck it in \program files\
custom cursor

Just put any 16 color win95 cursor file in the same directory as FakeCursor.
a program called GoldIcon creates cursors that are compatible with FakeCursor.
I love this app, I have a top soft key dedicated to this so I can activate/deactivate it at any time.
there is no installation; the EXE can be located anywhere on the device and creates 2 lnk files in windows/startmenu/programs when run:
FakeCursor.lnk (toggle on and off) and FakeCursor Settings.lnk
Doesn't seem to be anything FAKE about it. It's a real Dpad mouse!
Thanks for the tip - do you have any you could post particularly mouse style pointer.
thanks
can you use XP mouse pointers, I havent seen a win95 machine for years.... or if you have one around would be great if you could simply post a few.
Is there a way of submitting Alt commands via an Android keyboard to my windows PC?
I presently use Air Mouse on an Ipod Touch to control my HTPC remotely.
This is the only use I have for the thing and I'd like to think that there will be the perfect Android solution for me soon.
The benefit of Air Mouse over RemoteDroid and GMote is the Alt key ability which neither of the Android apps have (or if they have I haven't found it yet), a function I find a lot of use for.
(I should add that the only Android device I have at present is an HTC Desire....so I guess that could be the limitation rather than the apps)
I don't really understand what you mean by alt key ability. Could you please explain, and maybe we can help sugest a solution?
What is it that this alt key ability of air mouse do, or more importantly, what is it that you want to accomplish with such an alt key ability?
Thanks for the reply, I had a feeling I wasn't being very clear.
I'd like to use my Android device as a trackpad and mouse for my HTPC.
My media player of choice (MPC-HC) uses a lot of keyboard shortcuts with the "Alt" signifier. For example Alt+X closes the program. These shortcuts are especially important because the program runs in a fullscreen mode which removes any context menus.
All the various android soft keyboards I have seen have no Alt key so I would lose a lot of functionality controlling the HTPC from an android device.
I have read that pressing the trackball twice on an HTC Desire may be a substitute for pressing the "Alt" key but have never got this to work in practice.
Just found an app that might suit your needs. I suggest you check it out.
GRemote Pro
Edit:
Ok, I just tried this app out, and it does exactly what you need.
It comes packed with an app alt, ctrl, tab and del buttons that let you alt+tab among other things.
I didn't see MPC-HC in the server setup, but that's not a problem as you can configure your own profiles with specific commands.
Fair warning, it's a bit on the slow side (seems to be a port of a winmo app), but I'm sure it'll get better with time and updates. It's a very polished Remote app for android and it even comes with drivers for a G-sensor controller to play games with (use android as wii-mote/controller).
This app defenitly rocks.
You sir (or madam) are a legend.
I was disappointed at first to see that this app doesn't simply add Alt and Ctrl keys to the standard keyboard, but it does allow considerable control of the media player directly.
Need to have a much longer play to see if it's really what I need...but I appreciate your effort already.
Another Suggestion
Have you tried unified remote?
It's got a full windows keyboard, You can create your own custom remotes and if you wanted, you could even have multiple droids connected.
Yes, this reply is s bit late, but better late than never
try Hackers Keyboard
I installed hackers keyboard and tried to activate it. It gives a prompt message that this will collect all information except passwords, including personal data and credit card numbers....!!!
Hello there!
I am trying to get a Shanwan Generic Gamepad to work with my Tronsmart MK908.
I own two alike gamepads. They both basically work, but send D_Pad_xx and Generic button messages to my system.
I have installed the following apk, to see what is sent by my gamepads: [ github.com/chrisboyle/keytest/downloads ]
It shows me, that both gamepads send the same signals to my Android Mini PC.
As I plan to make them work with MAME4DROID, I would like to remap the inputs to letters (as if sent by a keyboard), which I can again remap to certain actions in MAME4DROID (latter works).
I have found a ressource on the internet which describes how to define keys mapped to a certain keycode from a certain device [ source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html ]
I have installed USB Device Info [ de.appszoom.com/android_applications/tools/usb-device-info_btyps.html ] to see how the gamepads are seen by my Android PC. Whatever Vendor or ProductID (changes from tab "Android" to tab "Linux") I name my *.kl file after, I cannot remap the keycodes sent from my gamepads.
Does anyone of you know how to map gamepad inputs to, say, letters of a keyboard?
Sorry for not posting real URLs, but I am not able yet (<10 posts)...
Thank you so much!

Hi,
I have an USB keyboard hooked up to android tablet (nexus 7 2013).
Android have build in some keyboard (USB keyboard) hotkeys, such as "WindowsKey+M=Maps, Alt+ESC=Menu, Esc=back,..."
1.
I would like to add my own hotkeys for specific apps, like "Windows key+1=specific app"
Would that be possible with an app or minor changes to android OS?
2. Does anyone know hotkey for next/previous song? Multimedia keys are not woring, except for play/pause.
I looked around the forum but have not found solution to my exact problem and I'm sorry if it was debated somewhere before.
Thanks
Greetings all,
I am working on an AccessibilityService that takes input from game controllers (PS5 controller, Xbox Controller, etc.), I am using OnKeyEvent() for handling button presses and releases ,however I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to receive input from the Joysticks.
Generally I would use OnGenericMotionEvent() to handle MotionEvents from the joysticks, but since this is an AccessibilityService and not an Activity, it doesn't seem to have that method.
The MotionEvents I want to handle are as follows: AXIS_X, AXIS_Y, AXIS_Y, AXIS_RZ, AXIS_RY, AXIS_RX, AXIS_HAT_X, AXIS_HAT_Y, AXIS_LTRIGGER, AXIS_RTRIGGER, AXIS_BRAKE, AXIS_GAS
Does anyone here know how I could handle MotionEvents from an AccessibilityService? I've looked at the official docs and codelabs a lot but this has me stumped.
Regards,
