I need to watch training sessions for work that are Java based, It seems i get to a certain point and then i cannot download the actual recorded session to my tablet. From reading around, the tablet does have true java capabilities.
Is there anyway around that even if rooted?

Hi,
Thinking to develop am android app to display a video or part of the video on mutli-android phone device. It will support sync video and play it at the same time.
Anyone can give me some advice or idea how i can do it?
Thanks.
Im not really sure what you are trying to do. You want to display "part of a video"? Are you trying to output video from the device to a screen? Or from another device to the phone?
Anyway, I suggest you get the Android SDK from google. They basically tell you how to write apps. There are also books or classes you can take too.
So your wanting to make an app that allows you to share and play(synced) video over multiple phones?
Yes as above said you will first need to get the Android SDK, but to write this program you will need to be very skilled programmer with alot of times on your hands...
You will first need to know alot about networking, allowing you to connect to other phones and i assume create a buffer system then have all phones play at time that the buffers are reached to maintain steady flow based of network stats.
If you want to do streaming you will need to know even more, not to mention you will need to probably write your own video playing software.
OR you could simply write a program that links the x # of phones together and then streams from phone a to phones x-n through a 3rd party stream capable video player.

Need this APPS !!!
Blinkendroid has been found but I'd like to watch a movie on my Android device and broadcast / stream it on other Android device synchronised.
ie :
=> I own 2 tablets 7"
=> I want to watch to a movie / TV Show with subtitles
=> My girlfriend want to watch to the same program... but without subtitles
Is there anything yet for this requirement ?

Moving to Q&A
I don't have an Archos but I have a Galaxy 10.1, Asus Transformer, and a Galaxy S phone. I have been trying to figure out how to strap the 10.1 to a headrest and remotely play movies for my son in the back seat and I'm hoping the Archos software would be the key.
Has anyone ripped the Remote Control Server APK from this rom to be used in other tablets/phones. The controller is on the market but the server side is not
Or if someone knows a way to do this that would be great. (Note: DLNA is nice but its a full PUSH and what I want to do is control the media already on the tablet, or use the Sprint 3g on the 10.1 to stream netflix.
I have tried Server VNC for droid, and it breaks on tablets.
Thanks for all your help!
Maybe someone with an Archos and another Android device can analyze what is sended by the other device to the Archos (Wireshark for example)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am fairly sure this is not an APK, as sin not a simple app. it is a service baked into the system code of the ROM. This kinda of app is not overtly simple to add to android even IF you had all the source to the ROM, which no one does for HC yet.
The only problem is to know what is said on the network. After that, creating the app to communicate with it is "easy".
Am i to understand that you want to stream video to Archos from your Asus/Samsung ?
No, he wants to control his expensive Samsung 101 via a remote.
Something that comes included with any cheap Archos Gen8 ;-)
Expensive
Yes, its more expensive then the Archos but its 3g via Sprint. So I can stream, check email, watch IP cameras for restaurants that I am responsible for. But when traveling with the kids its nice to put in a headrest strap and control it.
Right now my son who is 3 will either tap the screen and freak out because the movie stopped playing, or if he is holding it he ends up stuck in some app. This will allow my wife or myself to start other movies, netflix streams, etc..
Headrest monitors for cars are not cheap (unless you get some really poor generic ones) and once the kids hit 5 years old they will not want to watch a linear movie, they would want to watch and interact with the web. (Humm or maybe I'm the biggest kid in the equation )
Right now I can DLNA push a video to the tablet using BubblePNP (Works great) but its annoying when my phone wifi sleeps or phone calls seem to mess with the connection. Remote control will keep each device truly separate. How many times I have walked out of the car to get gas out of range of the DLNA sharing is annoying.
Here you go...
I Hope this is what you are looking for...
Ripped out...Have Fun!
He doesn't need the remote, he needs the receiver for the Samsung.
I saw the words "remote" and "software" in the OP.
Yes, but he's searching the server side of the remote software ^^
Looks like the best way to get the Archos remote server app is to unpack Archo's firmware and take the server app out.
I found some linux tools that can do this, e.g. using aos-tools
However, my linux skill is only novice level at best, so I don't think I can unpack it successfully and find the remote server app.
Anyone happy to give it a try and share the file?
I see the instructions to unpack can be found here: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=The_aos-tools_Toolchain
I was looking for such app and Archos seems to the the only company which have a Android remote app right now... I am interested to install the remote server app on my Android phone or tablet and see if it works.
for control the tablet from an android phone you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
I'm currently working on a project to extend the capabilities of Android HDMI sticks and Smart TV's, so they can use external sensors (accelerometer as a first trial case). The reasoning behind the project is that the bluetooth keyboards normally delivered with such HDMI Sticks or Smart TV's are really bad, probably because of the interference with your TV itself. Since most of us already have a smartphone or tablet at home, I thought why not lets use their sensors to control your TV.
I've got a first POC working nicely, using the accelerometerplay SDK sample, but all done in the Java part. So now I can use my tablet or smartphone to control the balls in the sample running on a Android HDMI Stick. Basicly what I did was split up the SDK sample in a controller and viewer part, where the controller is using the Android sensor framework to fetch accelero values off my smartphone and tranfer them over Wifi towards the viewer, which will calculate the ball's positions as original.
A disadvantage of this approach is that I had to change the code of the 'original' application that is normally using the accelero sensor, to pick up the sensor data send over wifi. I want to go one step further however and implement a truly remote accelero sensor, which is registered properly in Android's sensor framework. Hence I would be able to increase the (android market) capabilities of my Smart TV or HDMI stick drasticly.
Anyone has good reference documentation on how to implement your own sensor and register it truly in the Dalvik VM. I searched in NDK related documentation, but did not found the golden bullet so far. The following link is really the only thing I could find sofar: hxxp://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Android_Sensor_PortingGuide
Any advice truly appreciated ,

Hello, I had this idea and I'm unsure on how/if it would work. It sounds weird but bare with me.
I was wondering if there was a way to host a version of android on a server and then connect to the server via a device such as a raspberry pi or even windows. Its difficult to explain but the best example I can give you is Nvidia's GRID game streaming service. However, instead of streaming games, it would stream android to a device. This means that all the computing would be done on the server freeing up your device.
I guess there would be a few downsides to it such as lag. However, you could probably run android on an extremely small device (such as a raspberry pi as long as it had decent internet connectivity and a low latency to the server). You could have something like an intel edison, a screen and a battery running android with TB's of storage and fast performance.
It's a strange idea that came to me, was just wondering if it is possible. Its kinda difficult to explain so ask if you want me to clarify.
Thanks.
This is sort of a research thread and I hope someone here is willing to weigh in with their knowledge.
I'm a Ruby / Java / Python / JS / PHP developer, who did a little bit of Android game development during my studies back in 2012. I assume things have changed since then.
I'm working on a commercial project where we need a network controllable video player for LED TV's and/or video projectors. Currently, we are using a Raspberry Pi 3-based design with the OMX Player, but this board is somewhat weak and the player is cumbersome to interact with and has limitations. Especially when it comes to rendering multiple layers with transparency. I would like to work on a platform where I have a rich multimedia API for rendering sound and video with an object-oriented API.
I have obtained myself an Asus Tinker, which has an official Android distribution. This runs rather smooth and from what I can tell, the API's for Android appear rich and flexible. So my questions are:
1) Is it possible to develop a launcher / kiosk app, that will allow me to boot into a "blank" screen and allow the app to place video surfaces, image surfaces and text layers? I should also be able to interact with the sound card and playback PCM audio. I would like an API that supports audio mixing, amplification, etc... There is no direct user input on the device, so I will need a solution that does not present any status bars, google account wizards, wifi wizards, update prompts, notifications or anything. In fact, when the Tinker is powered on, there should ideally not be anything indicating that it's Android.
I guess what I'm asking for is kind of a console video game engine / SDK, minus game controller support.
2) What kind of libraries or API's would I need to dive into and understand? Where should I start?
3) How complex is it? What is the scope of it? How much development time? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? Would I need more developers with specific skills?
4) Is there any developer here who's interested in participating in such a project as a paid freelance developer?
5) Is there any alternative software/OS platforms I should look into? I want to be able to boot into a custom passive user interface that is remotely controlled over REST by another device. I would like to avoid dealing with low level implementation of video decoding and rendering, but at the same time I would prefer to have control over screen resolution, refresh rate, color depth and I would like to run a ssh server on the client, so it can be serviced. Ideally, the platform should be able to both stream from the internet, but also accept commands to download to local storage and play from there.
6) Is there any alternative hardware platform I should look into?
7) Anything else I should consider? Problems that I'll need to address / prepare for?
