I've done some windows desktop and windows PDA/phone development, but have
no experience (yet) with android other than as a user.
I have a specific interest in something akin to remote desktop, where (when
they are both connected, probably via wifi) one android device [slave]
would show an image of the other [host] screen, and (multi)touch input
would be directed to the host from the slave device, essentially allowing
the slave to control the host remotely, real-time (while seeing the impact
of that control).
The screen presentation could probably be handled pretty easily, same for
the wifi connection- what I'm really interested in is the screen control
options.
Does Android expose (at any level) the events for user input (both to
capture slave input, and push that to the host)? Whether that be the raw
input of multitouch, or some intermediate level of control? The basic
question here is whether the input on one device can be used as direct
input on a different device, without having to create control wrappers for
each program, or (for one existing program I read about) having to change
the default keyboard entry to a host program specifically to enable this
type of functionality.
I'd welcome technical information (what can and can't be done in Android),
conceptual solutions ("here is one way it might work"), and suggestions for
better search terms so I can find existing posts on the subject. Also, if
this isn't the ideal forum for this question, please feel free to gently
point me in a better direction.
Thank you,
Keith
