My project group for our senior project is developing an Android app. We are pretty much done at this point, but we have to present our app on Friday. We have done a practice presentation with a demo on the emulator, but we would like to present it on my phone.
I was wondering what is the best/easiest way to put my Android display on a PC so we can do our presentation on my phone the way it was meant to be shown.
So it would be my phone connected to a laptop, laptop connected to projector, and laptop displaying my phone's display on the projector.
This way we can also use our GPS location and use the app to take pictures which are both important parts of our presentation.
Do you have a HDMI out port on your Android device? That would work nicely.

Any examples?
And no HDMI port, its a Droid 2.
Since you said you are developing apps, i assume you've done so using eclipse, and if not
then download it. install ADT plugin, make a bogus project,
OR if you already are working in eclipse, open your project, deploy on phone using Ctrl+F11 when your phone is in Debugging mode with ADB daemon running, open DDMS window in eclipse, on the top bar click on "Device" and then on capture screen.
oops, sorry thought you just needed pics for presentation. Remote ADB is your only way then
iDisplay. It works on Mac and PC according to there description. It cost $4.99 though...

Afaik the idisplay was meant to migrate your pc's entire screen onto your Android phones display?wasnt?
as an alternative monitor i say
i remember my LG p970 having a PC app called ' LG on screen phone '(LG OSP) that since i was(am) #### about Smartphones networking solutions, i tried installing it on my low-end toshiba laptop, and it was damn OK and working like a charm likely with 30Fps or more.
then after i ve tried many cross-platform apps like mobo made one for my Htc and sony devices,and neither of them could saticfy me with their stupid qiualities and low frame rate.
i yet have that application. But the question is whether can a dev handle some modification on it to be use on any kinda android devices?
huh... devs are asleep..

Hi,
I've been wondering, I remember with my Sony Ericsson P990i that there was a program I could install on my PC that would have a window which mimic'd the phone and allowed me to remotely control the phone. This was great while the phone was docked as I could type out messages and everything with my computer and not have to un-dock the phone. Is there any program or method of achieving a similar solution for the Streak?
Thanks!

..... and nevermind, after trying, its upside down, and the touch controls dont work... stupid streak, lol
Hi jmhalder,
Thanks for the reply.....so androidscreencast doesn't work with the Streak?
Any other options or a way to get this to work?

I've installed Java SDK 6 and everything seems to be working and I've installed Android SDK to my C drive and I've ran adb devices and it sees my phone (on my Windows 7 64-bit). However, whenever I run any other command (e.g. adb remount) I get the line "error: closed"
I've tired this with the Dell Suite installed and uninstalled, as well as having the phone unrooted and rooted Any ideas?
No idea, it worked on mine, rooted and on 2.1... but the screen was upside down and it wouldn't let me control it via cursor actions on the PC... I've only had the "error: closed" with a borked install of android on my streak where it wasn't bootable... I'd make sure the "tools" folder is listed in your PATH...:

There's a VNC server in the Market for rooted Android devices. It worked pretty well from mthe limited testing I did.

Yes, that's what a VNC "server" is, and why root is required. Your Streak is the server, being remote controlled by your PC. Sort of like the Soti remote controller from the WinMo days (if you were ever there).
I didn't test/play with it much, not sure how functional it was.
Search for VNC in the market, it should be there.
^^ Cool dude, I might give that a try then!
I've actually managed to get it working now....I had a quick search on how to screen capture and a lil guide said to turn on USB debugging on the phone which I had completely forgot about and after doing so it started workin Now a way to try and get the rest of the app to work i.e. the upside down screen and controls
EDIT:
Ooo managed to get the controls to work YAY this was probably the main thing that I wanted to work, not overly fussed about the screen being upside down as I can just look at the phone while I type. I had to give full read and write permission to the "/data/dalvik-cache" folder (ticking the read and write of others as all other boxes were ticked), and all of a sudden it start to work.

Has any anyone been able to get any of the screenshot apps to work on their Atrix? I know we can using the SDK, but that's not what I'm inquiring about. Please share any ideas or if we can even make it happen.

FWIW, I sent an email to the developer of ShootMe asking for support. I never heard anything back. Just gotta be patient.
AFAIK the only working method at this point is using the Android SDK to take a screenshot from your computer. Just download and install the Android SDK (google it), hook up your phone via USB, launch C:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/tools/ddms.bat (may be slightly off, going from memory) from the command prompt, and the program that opens will allow you to take a screen shot.

I think most people are looking for the same functionality as the iPhone has. My fiancée could not live without this function on her iPhone and it's got to be a little disheartening for some people coming from iOS to find out that Android does not have a built in feature like this.
I agree - it seems to be a result of the distinct resolution of the atrix screen. I imagine that an app will be available soon.
New to android and I am looking for a good(free) Remote Desktop app to connect to my Win7 computer through my own wifi network.
I am wanting to be able to remotely control a video switcher that can only be controlled by a hardware panel or a PC program.
Thanks
download getjar's app from getjar.com go to the gold apps and find splashtop and download it. works like a charm.
I would also suggest team viewer. This thing is amazing and will also allow you to control someone else's computer via your computer or phone. Works perfectly and just requires you to be on the website on the connected computer.
EDIT: I just used this app from my phone the other day to fix a friend's computer. All they had to do was get to the website and I took control of the computer on my phone. I was half a city away and it worked perfectly.
The shows I am in we most the time don't want there to be an internet connection. So It sounds like teamviewer won't work for me.

Can TeamViewer be used within a local network (LAN) only?
You can establish Remote control sessions on your local network directly by using IP addresses or computer names.
By default this feature is deactivated because software firewalls may open an acceptance dialog when configured this way.
To activate the LAN mode in TeamViewer full version and Host module:
In the menu click on Extras and then on Options
On the General tab activate Accept incoming LAN connections
When selecting accept exclusively it will display the IP-address of the computer in the ID-filed.
A connection can now be establisher using the IP-address or alternatively using the host name.
If you want to use RDP you can't go wrong with this
http://www.appbrain.com/app/remote-desktop-client/com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient
Yes it is $25 but it is one of the few apps I consider worth buying. It even works over different VPN connections.
+1 for team viewer. I fix my families computers back in chicago, im in california. Works great on the phone to.

Teamviewer works just great I used it both connecting to a mac and pc.
Now i am wondering if any of the other apps have a non mouse based control? So I can just touch the phone screen as if it was a touch screen on the computer. The program I wish to control is just a GUI that looks like the hardware panel.
But I am sure that is not a very easy thing to build from the programing side and have it work clean. Maybe a screen share with a TUIO mapped over it? Just thinking out loud...
Thanks for the info so far everyone!

Wow... that is so cool! Just tested it out on my laptop. Best thing is now I can control my mom's computer remotely when she needs tech support which will make it MUCH easier when she calls for help after her evening cocktail and wine with dinner on top of not knowing what I mean when I say "desktop". lol.
It's a little tricky since when you're controlling the cursor you have to move the opposite direction to get to another part of the screen than you would if you were flicking a regular app on your phone. Just have to get used to it. I guess that's what Shermanpat was talking about in the post above.
Wow, I'm shocked nobody plugged pocket cloud. I love it. Just the fact that it gives you a useable mouse(right click, click lock, etc) should put it high up on the list..

I believe there is a free trial version.... but no, it's $25 for the full version!!! Crazy I know, but my work is paying for it. We use a Terminal Server Gateway and Remote Web Apps, and xtralogic is the only app that allows me to access that. such a great program!

SplashTop is pretty good as well
as long as you have a google account and you register it, you can actually connect to your PC through 3g network anywhere. I feel that it's kind of hard to use at the moment, but they are coming out with a new version soon so hope that helps.

For simple control, there's always VNC (and there's definitely at least one viewer for Android). If you're still running GNOME, it had (has? I don't know about GNOME 3 *shudder*) an integrated VNC server in the form of Vinagre. Else there's x11vnc. Unlike with Team Viewer, though, you get to have the fun of port forwarding etc. yourself if you wish to use it to control your computer outside of your home network.
Log me in is by far the superior alternative. Multiple PC's from anywhere.
I ve tried a few apps that turn your tablet into a monitor but I am amazed at SuperDisplay (relatively new app), this thing has extremly low latency to the point you can watch videos and not feel like the audio is desynced AND the pen works with pressure sensitivity AND it registers the tablet like a new monitor not just mirroring. It has a 3 day trial and also make sure to plug it via USB 3.0-3.1 it felt like that improved the connection for me. If anyone knows any better or equally good apps that can also work with the spen and pressure sensitivity please share them (this app costs 10€ after the 3 day trial, also the wifi connection works pretty great too)
I've been using SuperDisplay for 2 weeks now and it's amazing how easy is the setup and how well it works, it's a must have app if you have a s6 lite without any doubt.
whats the function of that

You are able to use desktop grade drawing apps, also with how good the connection is you can even use it as a monitor or wirelessly access your computer (I ve used apps like TeamViewer or Google's remote desktop and they weren't even close to this app)
edit: actually steam's remote access app is pretty similar only when it comes to wirelessly connecting, doesn't support wired connection or spen as far as I know

It works flawlessly, it isn't a demanding program actually. There are a few false touches here and there because as far as I can tell the correction system that tablets have doesn't work, windows 10 is given the raw data from the tablet and makes a bearable enough attempt to cancel them (you get one every 10-20 minutes but you get a sense of what triggers them after a while), luckily most drawing apps have a pen only option.
I dd be more concerned with the size of the tablet, I would like a bigger tablet going from sketching on paper to tablet but I am sure you can make do with the size (tip for everyone: I like to have and to rest my palm on a notepad next to the tablet (notepad of the same thickness as the tablet) so that I don't need to take screen space for my palm)

You can go and try similar apps and tell us, for just 10€ this thing is really cheap for what it is worth.
With the Samsung tab s7 there is a free alternative and it's native "second screen" but is really less well than superDisplay.
second screen support only connexion with a pc equipped with wifi and connect the device directly to the pc without going through the network.
Also the resolution is stuck to 1080p 60hz while "superDisplay" support qhd+ 120hz with low lattency with wifi or USB

Well, scrcpy is the other way round: You can see your device on your window's computer screen. Scrcpy works very well. But beware of SuperDisplay: Once installed and running on your Windows, SuperDisplay constantly restarts an adb server to search for connected android devices with the superdisplay app running; and it applies settings to any android device connected to the pc (port forwarding and the like). In my case, SuperDisplay used Version 40 for the server, but scrcpy used Version 41. The result was odd behavior of adb.
On my PC, SuperDisplay caused a lot of CPU usage and made the fan blow; AND: Once installed and running on your Windows, SuperDisplay constantly restarts an adb server to search for connected android devices with the superdisplay app running; and it applies settings to any android device connected to the pc (port forwarding and the like). In my case, SuperDisplay used Version 40 for the server, but scrcpy and DroidCam used Version 41. The result was odd behavior of adb. Some Android developers might be not so amused.
For that reason, I prefer Spacedesk to use my e-ink tablet as Windows screen.

Thank god I checked my thread again (albeit it a bit late) that app is amazing, but as someone mentioned it does the opposite thing SuperDisplay does.
I really needed it though, I ve been having trouble getting my tablet to sharescreen on discord (crashes) now I can simply use this app and sharescreen through my pc which is in fact more practical in the first place, because I don't need to jump into a server, make a second discord account to join the channel and then sharescreen (which most importantly crashes)
Anyone know of a solution to do this on Linux? I use a ThinkPad T14 and while I love it, I could use a little more screen real estate.
