Thanks Kris but that won't help me much. I know it's pretty scary to be able to issue a motion event anywhere on the screen promptly allowing an attacker to overtake the tablet. But my intentions are control through hardware - nothing programmatic.
All input will come from the user. Until I figure out how to do it via HID profiles which Android supports (but have little experience in), I am stuck on a threaded means to get signals (input) from the device. I do not want to simulate a mouse click at specific coordinates, I want to simulate them as the user moves his/her thumb on the joystick on my custom Bluetooth controller. Anyone have any experience with custom Bluetooth devices and simulating key & mouse events? If View.performClick() is the only way, is there a way to obtain the view of the top Activity and inject a click event? (again, not clicking at an "OK" or "Cancel", but merely register a click that the activity can pickup and pass it down as an event) Thanks, Dritan On Jan 30, 3:07 pm, Kristopher Micinski <krismicin...@gmail.com> wrote: > In your activity?
