I have an android tablet that I need to display one application on its screen and another out the HDMI port. I havent been able to find out if this is possible. This would be similar to the windows ability to "extend" the desktop out multiple monitors.
Nevermind. I was able to track down that the base android OS does not support dual monitors.
I am just curious to know what benefit X86 support would have?
it says "cross-platform support on ARM, x86, and MIPS technology"
so does it mean that now it will be easy to install new android on my X86 laptop running core i3?
also i think that if android now natively supports X86 so it would be easy to make it an OS for desktop with some tweaking in UI element to make it keyboard and mouse friendly...(PS: i dont have much knowledge of software development)
i use windows mainly for playing AAA PC games(only thing android cant do for me),i wish android to one day support high end graphic cards like nvidia gtx 780 along with developers support for AAA games that would be a dream come true situation for me because then i could ditch costly windows altogether :laugh:

Well yeah it will improve the support. But it's already done. I mean, android as a pc os (without tweaking them ). Check this site
www.android-x86.org
The android l is just gonna improve this project and make him better. About tweaking theme, the best solution i can offer is to install xposed and xhalowindow (if its called that i cant remember) and install a launcher (right now there isn't a launcher that is look just like windows, so it's need to be developed, I think it is time to do so with the new 2014 google android tv, I mean to make and old pc a google android tv and make the best of the old device)
The android x86 work with usb input, any gpu, LAN, wifi, bluetooth, mouse, pad, keyboard, microphone, camera and multitouch and more
The only weaknesses is that a lot of apps that doesn't support x86 prossesor (only ARM prossesor) will bring force close. It doesn't mean that all the ARM apps, but a lot of them. Another weakness is that apps that doesn't support rotation, will rotate all the screen untill shutdown (unless you'll install an app that force landscape rotation everywhere)
Hi! I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to develop a software solution that requires the Android phone to be able to output video and be a USB host at the same time. But, after looking into a couple Android devices (Nexus 5 & Samsung S4), I found that I cannot do video and USB hosting on a Android phone at the same time. I wonder if this is a common design in Android phone world? Is this based on Google's reference design for Android? Thank you!
Hi,
I'd like to buy an Android set-top box for watching IPTV, using XBMC and use several others applications (browser/facebook/Twitter/Netflix...), but I have troubles figuring out what devices will be enough for me and what apps I will be able to use with a "classic" Android remote (not a keyboard or trackpad remote controller).
Is there a way to list in the Play Store the apps that are compatible with a remote ?
I'm also confused about the new Android TV platform and the Android TV Launcher. It seems the first will only be available on some partners new devices like Sony and requires Lollipop and the latter is available for every device running at least KitKat. Is this right ?
Is it better for me to buy now a 4.4 set-top box (the Bee-link UBox R89 seems nice), or wait for a 5.0 Android TV-certified device ?
(Sorry, no links allowed in my post, I'm a new user)
Thx
Hi all,
I'm hoping I can get some suggestions for an Android device to target for a custom app running in Kiosk mode. Just a quick background: app is for internal use so will not be released externally. I currently use Java (JavaFX) on Raspberry Pi - it is v stable. Android device will hook up to the monitor + speakers and ideally will have ethernet port. Device reliability is of course important.
What the app will do when it receives a message from GUI:
Play videos
Display time
Text/Images
I'm hoping to add customer interaction as well at some point so perhaps use a touchscreen monitor.
If you can recommend any Android device then that would be fantastic!
