Clean HDMI Out? - General Questions and Answers

I've discovered that the number of camera app's that provide Clean HDMI out via USBC / a seperate monitor to be nearly non existant.
There's Filmic Pro, but at $150 a year subscription, it'd be cheaper to make my own for the 3 licenses I'd need.
I've made some basic Android apps previously, after studying at Uni, but I've not kept up with the API/scene.
Does anyone have any pointers on what the best angle of attack would be?
E.g. if there's a library recommendation with decent camera GUI functionality already, and what search terms to use to find the Android multi-screen API's for creating a second screen?
My searching resulted in finding multi-window support, and 'projecting/casting' support, which isn't what I was looking for.

[Q] Options to develop an app for smartphones?

Hello
I have a couple of ideas for applications that would be useful to smartphone users, and am only getting started gathering information.
Of the two ideas I have, one could be developed as a web application (so that a single application can be used on a PC and a smartphone) and the other probably needs to be written specifically for each platform (because it needs to handle calls).
I checked the sticky posts in the General forum, along with the wiki, and the home page, but didn't find an article for newbies that would provide a short, 10,000-feet view of what the options are, etc.
So to make an informed decision, I'd like to know what, at this point and in the near future, the main options are to write applications, with advantages and disadvantages for each.
Thank you.

[Q] SAX and Android

Sorry about posting in here, I wanted to post in there Android Developers but it says to post in here cuz I'm new.
Anyways I've found this question asked a while ago, in a couple of different places but it hasn't been answered so I'll try asking it for myself.
I am working on a Android App that needs to read a XML file, I'm using the SAX Parse. I found an example on line that I've messed with and it appears to work if I make Java Application out of it. Though the same code does not work when if its placed with in a Android App. Is there some difference between the SAX implemtations between Striaght Java and Android's VM? Code is aviable if you have any questions.
Thank You!!
I've had a bit of a Google round and I can't see any reason why SAX wouldn't work with Java ME. In fact, I've found examples that use it specifically for Android...

Although this site is obviously full of very talented developers, if you have specific coding issues then I strongly recommend you go to stack overflow. It's a VERY busy site, with some very good (and some not so good) developers all clambering over each other to answer questions. The site is specifically for answering code problems though, so you may get flamed by asking the above question without showing some code. Along with xda it's my most visited site and I couldn't recommend it enough.
To get you started on there, here's an Android/SAX question that may help you with your problem...

[Completed] New forum category for Sony Android TVs?

I was wondering if we could get a new forum category for Sony Android TVs created? There's no real place on the net for these TVs. The biggest issue is finding compatible APKs for side-loading, especially ones that are restricted by region. Sub-categories could be:
General
Q&A/Help
Apps
Region Specific (Freeview, etc.)
I would be more than happy to moderate these forums in a temporary or on-going basis.
Thanks,
Paul

Can you be interested in a new keyboard type?

hi, I would need feedback and some advice on this topic, is there a need to change the way we enter data via our touch-screen?
the qwerty model keyboard, as functional as it is, doesn't prevent us from fully exploiting the flexibility that a touch screen offers?
Do you already know of any applications that are trying an innovative way?
something like this -> h__ps://78.media.tumblr.com/4b793885c31132b1db6a1bbcc517d0a4/tumblr_inline_n4t4ws6F821r0z1sd.gif
I have not found one so I made one, I developed a new app to enter data via touch input, i developed it for android system and allows you to completely customize the system with which to enter data; what does that mean?
means that every touch on the screen becomes a valid point for data entry and each of these various characters/actions/suggestions change positions and dimension based on different parameters, such as number of touches on the screen, screen size, screen orientation, screen definition, type of data to be entered, dictionary used.... too complicated? the app is currently in its final stage, and I am now developing a python library that allows you to create pkg of configurations;
What I would also ask you would support a crowdfunding campaign to complete this app and its supporting site?
crowdfunding campaign isn`t allowed on XDA

the fact is that there is no fundraising campaign, and there will not be until I have finished all the work, and it will take a long time; the post I created was not to raise funds but to get an answer on what I think a big limit that we still carry behind, I wanted to open a discussion about what alternative to qwerty users believe should exist; if I expressed myself badly deleted even the post, it is not a problem : )

I did not say you started a campaign, I just pointed to the rules that a further discussion won`t derail towards crowdfunding, that`s all.
You are more than welcome to discuss anything else related to development and also post links , screenshots or anything wich can help you.
I also can move this thread to the Android General discussion section if you want, off-topic is basically non-development related so , your choice, just let me know

Citaq H10-2

A while ago I reset a H10-2 that had a RK3386 Rockchip. I did this by means of the restore button on the motherboard. In doing so I'm having trouble finding a working print driver for the Seiko serial printer that is imbedded in the unit.
After some research I found a print proxy driver but it no longer works. After installing the app, it requests registration in order to use the print proxy. Now that's fine, but it does look like it has been abandoned and I can't register the app.
I have found an app on the stock image called POSFactory. This is basically a test software to run for engineers. Things like audio test, display test and so on. However, it also has print test and does some comprehensive print tests to the thermal printer, including a self test print.
I'm looking to get this printer working for the android system and wondered if anyone could advise me how to do this please.
Platform RK3368 (Octa-core 8)
Ram 2gb
Android 5.1.1
