Hi,

Good luck!

Sorry forgot to mention it had to be on a android tablet

Then you can ask in thread above still. ?

[Completed] Adding infrared capability to my Allview A5 Smiley: assistance badly needed

My Allview A5 Smiley Android smartphone does not feature an infrared emitter, so I recently bought one (eBay item# 381493551518) with the purpose of remote controlling my 'dumb' TV set.
The eBay description suggests using an app called ZaZaRemote, which I installed and tested. Unfortunately, none of the profiles in their database seem to activate the LED.
I tested the latter by pointing both my TV remote and the smartphone IR blaster / LED to the webcam: with the TV remote I can 'see the purple light' flashing, with the IR blaster I CAN NOT.
So I tested around a dozen of similar Android apps, no success there either.
I also tested the IR device (diode) using a multimeter: on [diode] / 2K mode I get 1.280 and ∞ respectively, so the LED seems to be in order.
Please help.
Thank you.

Many thanks for the warm welcome AND for the 2 threads you suggest.
I chose to go to [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly], but (please don't laugh...) I'm not able to make out how to correctly take part: do I use the Reply button or is there a 'posting area' I'm stubbornly missing on the page?

You can just press the post reply button there. I normally scroll to the last page and either press reply or quote someone's post.

[Completed] Android + Kiosk App

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for help and this is the last place i'm having hopes for..
I have native android app that was developed by me. and my company wants to put this app in tablet so then the app has true kiosk mode, loading on the start, auto-updating (somehow?? today I'm checking it with api call and forcing users to go to google play)
The current kiosk mode i have - isn't working that well across all the devices, Some tablets like samsung 8 inchers will cause app to crash on requesting device administrator. Some tablets don't allow me to disable turn the screen back on if user clicked on the button.
We would also like to add some AdMob and AdColony SDK's there but now the issue is that if either of this networks has a link to google play or just a web link it fires intent and kicking chrome instead which knocks my app to the background in some devices.
What do we need to do from here? I mean what do we need to find to get it done? We would be buying some specific tablets for that too so I guess we can modify ROM if that is required but I'm really don't have any clue where to start here.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

[Completed] Disable mouse acceleration? (Enable raw input?) on Android

Hello good people, I'm looking for a way to disable mouse acceleration on android and get completely raw input for my mouse. I've looked all over the internet and the question has been asked before but I havent seen it answered yet, so does anyone know of a way to do it at all? It seems like a relatively simple feature.
Just to clarify, I'm not talking about pointer speed, I'm talking about the cursor being accelerated, and moving further depending on how fast I move my mouse. For example, if I move my mouse one inch slowly, and then one inch quickly, it will go much further the second time. I want it to move my cursor the same pixels per inch of mouse movement no matter how fast I move my mouse. The equivalent to this on a windows pc is unchecking "enhance pointer precision" in your mouse options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

[Completed] Android taskbar enlarge

We work with 20 touchscreens (tablets) under which an Android Webaplication takes to record production data. (We work with Android 4.2.2) This is the only thing we do with these touchscreens all other Internet options are blocked. Now more people are logging on simultaneously on a screen by clicking a new tab in the taskbar. However, this part of the display is less prone to be selected with a finger. You must click, for example next to the + or x to activated. The rest of the screen works well but that's because there areas in which you click are a lot bigger. Is it possible to enlarge the taskbar for example, 200 or 300%? How can you make an adjustment?
