I am trying to develop an Andorid app that will turn the device into a USB connected mouse. I know there are a lot of stuff on the market like this but almost all of them require a software installation on the PC. What I want to do is to have the phone be recognized as a mouse driver.
My team and I have been doing extensive research on this as we have worked on Android before. We are having difficulty on how to turn the phone into a mouse driver. My first plan is to learn how real mouse gets recognized as a mouse from the PC and then translate that to Android device.
Any suggestions? We would really appreciate any ideas and inputs.
Thanks,
Very usefull work
I realy want this app but cant find...
U can speak with bluetooth mouse makers or microsoft! To know how a windows can find driver for mouse
Sorry for bad english!!!
Very good idea. I was hoping you might success.
Thanks for the response guys. I am looking into bluetooth function as well. The main problem seems to be the communication between the PC and the phone, so we are considering using a board but that will not be consumer friendly.
I wish I can just figure out how real wireless mouse works... it is a good idea as mentioned to contact one of the mouse makers but I don't think they will tell me anything xD

I know Stowaway make a bluetooth mouse for PPC, but can I get my MS one working with my XDA2i with some kind of HID driver that will recognise a BT mouse?
I already have a serial Stowaway keyboard, having a mouse too would make this a fantastic set-up.
I can't believe with all the other techies on here nobody has tried?
a search proved that somebody have

Well I could have easily topped up old posts that hadn't actually solved this question
I chose not to though, and my very first line was "I know Stowaway make a bluetooth mouse for PPC" so your google link didn't help much either.
I have managed to use HID drivers for a USB connected mouse on my Toshiba e800, but the fact remains, I do not have a Stowaway mouse, nor do I like topping old posts, especially where nothing was actually solved.
Has anyone got anything actually useful to post here?
Is there such an app or way, that will allow the Diamond or Diamond Pro to act as a bluetooth keyboard to another device, i.e. PS3, laptop? If there is, will you please let me know what it is? It could be useful for so many things.
Have you tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427097 it will alow you to use the keyboard and mouse and a few other cool things
thank you very much.
to use it as bluetooth is such a hassle though unfortunately
wifi works great
but i go to school and the school network is nearly impossible to connect to so bluetooth would be helpful
If it did, it would make things about 3 times easier for me. A multitouch desktop trackpad would be even better.
you can pair a bluetooth mouse with the touchpad and it shows the icon for the mouse in the preferences but it doesnt work for anything. if youre asking if it can be used as a remote mouse for a computer then im not sure theres an app for that.
Thanks for the reply. I was referring to the former. So WebOS recognizes that a mouse is paired?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it pairs with the mouse but its greyed out and isnt available to be used with anything
Ah OK. I wonder if we'll ever be able to get it functional. Anyone have any thoughts/ideas?
WTF ? My Microsoft Mouse Notebook 5000 is found on WebOs, but he don't want to pair :'(
I want use my mouse on a chroot... (Linux Ubuntu)
i want to use the controller for apps like fpse and stuff.
already tried USB BT Joycenter but that wasnt working, the controller was connecting and showing as First player but there was no input and i cant get any updated version of the app cause i cant find it on the appstore.
the other thing i tried was editing the controller layout files, but they werent even on the tablet.
is there anything else i can do to get this to work?
I tried to connect my xbox 360 wireless controller via dongle aswell. it kinda connects but i am not really sure. the moment i let the dongle and the controller search for each other they seem to find each other straight away, but the led ring just keeps blinking and wont find a channel so to speak.
i followed sleeplessninjas guide and copied over the vendor_45e_product_0291/0719.kl and kcm but it didnt change the controller problem.
the controller is not recognized by any app i tried nor does the system itself show any response to the controller input.
i can connect a mouse or a usb flashdrive without a problem plug n play out of the box. but the controller wont get recognized.
i read on a shop review that the problem would be that the lenovo tab2 a10 doesnt have driver for the controller shipped with it.
my question would be: would cooking up my own android rom help and would i even be able to make it work on the device, i keep reading about lenovo devices being *****y about bootloader and such.
and then again cooking up ones own android is kinda of a longshot for an android beginner like me. need to read more. propably doable but are there even drivers available for the device fitting the system?
would appreciate someone shedding a bit of light in all the confusion cheers
Hi, is there any way to turn android into mouse/keyboard/controller without host on pc? i mean, can't phone act like it's bluetooth mouse and just send information bluetooth mouse would? it wouldn't require any 3rd party programs on pc to work or any other device, like another smartphone or something, i know this could be hard af but at least tell me if it's possible xD is it worth digging for days to find it or just waste of time
