Screencast Source that works with Samsung s8 api 28 - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I'm tring to get a basic screen recorder compiled and working on my Samsung S8. There are allot of examples on GitHub (such as https://github.com/googlesamples/android-ScreenCapture) all of which require updates (usually to androidx) when I try to compile against API 28 (Pie). However, they all crash when I try to start the screen recording activity on my S8 device. I've had several of them working in the emulator, but I thought there may be a catch or work around for Samsung devices, or perhaps just the S8?
I can provide my updated source for API 28 if needed, but thought I'd ask if anyone else has had this experience using the Media Manager to capture the screen?
Thanks so much!

Last I checked, the bluez stack was missing some important Android functionality, so getting this functionality would require sacrificing other capabilities and it would also require a LOT of work.
It would also probably make life a living nightmare for some of our device maintainers.

There is source code available for a product called carpod, and android car head unit which also has this bluetooth functionality... i downloaded the source code, and it has gradle files etc... i have no idea how and what to look in to the source code... any suggestions where to look? how to open the complete source code in android development studio etc?
the link for that source code is under Helpful Links section -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55200512&postcount=1
i really hope a developer can just add this functionality which is already implemented in many available car head units running on android...

Is it possible? Yes.
Is it more work than we have time for? Absolutely
To do so would involve either adding a new profile to the Android BT stack (none of us have any familiarity with it) or dropping in BlueZ, which has some really nifty features (such as native DualShock controller support), but its support for other important features (like Bluetooth LE) is, if you read their changelogs, a heavy work in progress and experimental. Which means that if we did this for your niche feature, we'd break widely used functionality (like communication with Android Wear watches). There's also the fact that EVERY device maintainer would have to make changes to their audio routing configs to support this, and trust me, messing with audio routing is a MASSIVE PAIN IN THE ASS that no one wants to mess with.

[Q] Android M Fingerprint scanner

Hi everyone,
I've been reading for a while about the new Android version, M, and its fingerprint capabilities. I know no one knows anything just yet, but I hope someone knows at least how it will work based on the preview. Do you think Samsung will update the S6 & S6 Edge to support this new API on Android M (opening up compatibility with lots of apps) or will they stay with their own API?
Thanks

Is it possible to write HAL or Kernal Driver for Camera

I'm hoping someone may let me know if it's possible to write a Driver to access the Android Cameras' directly rather than the OEM's or the Camera API?
I'm looking to have an app that can access both Front and Back cameras at the same time for devices that have dual video processors and looking to hire a developer to do "this" if it's possible.
I imagine it would most likely be C++ at the Linux Kernal or HAL level?
I'm not sure if there's anything at that level that would prevent an app from using it's own driver either?
Android 9 now allows for Dual/Multi Camera support but at that higher level, the Camera2 API only works for some devices. Have tried on Galaxy S4, S6 and S9 all running Android 9 and only the S4 worked.
Any information would help me to see if it's worth pursuing and greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to renew this question. Hoping someone can let me know if it's possible to do this?

Android 10 sdk28 usb camera device class bug

Hello, i was recently made aware that my usb 360 panoramic camera module (Lolly360) does not work in android 10 due to a bug in the source of Android 10 that lacks the proper permissions for devices that use USB video device class (UVC) api's. I'm not 100% how things work, but I think an api in the SDK28 (USBCamera-target-API-28.apk) is bugged but maybe has been fixed in the latest Android 10 source. Unfortunately, im not sure if it exists in OxygenOS 10.3.3.
Is anyone aware of this? And/or does anyone know where i could begin to tackle this issue?
I posted in the OnePlus community forums, but i feel like it may have fallen on deaf eyes

Linux Distro emulation possible on Fold2 ?

Hello everyone I've tested fold2 in store this week and I am in love with it, on my current tablet (android7) I run termux and andronix (with pulse audio) and get pretty good emulation, can listen songs in Andronix while coding in VncViewer. So recently I've decided to buy fold2 but as I searched through internet I've seen some issues mentioned about android 10 giving errors on termux etc. they are not fold2 specific but I know fold2 uses android 10 and getting android 11 recently as I saw and will get some updates for a some time. I am wondering, is there any person using Andronix or equivalent virtual linux with sound on your fold2 with latest firmware version? Are there any person having issues? On the contrary if anyone using fold2 with this purpose and having fun I also really appreciate to hear from you.
While I was preparing my question I've seen some issues regarding file access in termux regarding android 11 and target sdk api level I will install termux as soon as I get one would it be better to update android 11 when I get it or wait in 10 until any problems on 11 are fixed?
