I’m looking to develop a system to allow the use of an Android phone’s

  • 0

I’m looking to develop a system to allow the use of an Android phone’s touchscreen to control the mouse on a PC, but am not entirely sure how easy this would be, or how I would go about it. I imagine in order to send data from the touchscreen to the PC I would need to use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but then how would I go about reading this on the PC?

Secondly, I realise I would be able to detect gestures on the phone (e.g. pinch-zoom), but how would I go about using this information at the PC end? I.e. Once the computer receives information that the user wants to zoom in, is there a simple way to then increase the zoom in the current application (e.g. Zoom-in within Google Chrome)?

Thanks for your help, I will add more information if it’s unclear what my question is.

    You should split your system in three parts:

    1. Android activity with touch events registrating
    2. Android service to pass the commands to the pc via bluetooth or usb
    3. System application for the desktop to interpret the commands and emulate the mouse. For Windows systems window messages will be enough.
