I'm trying to use a Zytronic USB touchscreen on Android for a project.
The touchscreen works out of the box on Linux (after being calibrated with xinput_calibrate), and is detected as a mouse on Android. The problem is, that being detected as a mouse, it works more like a touchpad than as a touchscreen: the mouse doesn't "teleport" to where your finger is pointing at, you can only drag it around.
Is there any Android setting or application that would help me modify this behaviour, and calibrate my USB touchscreen?
I have the same situation, I think the key here is how android handles a "touch screen" and this "mouse device".
I found this http://source.android.com/tech/input/input-device-configuration-files.html
hello, I wrote a .idc file in /system/usr/idc with VIP and PID about my touchscreen, but it doesn't work... can you help me?

Hi,
I've been playing around a bit with TNT, and it turns out the USB mouse does not work (keyboard does).
When I plug in the mouse, the pointer appears in the middle of the screen (the cross), but no movement.
I've also checked in logcat that the device is recognised by the kernel, and a mouse1/event8 device is created under /dev/input/
Running "getevent" also returned some activity from the mouse when moved and /proc/bus/input/handlers have both mousedev and evdev..
Does anyone know who to debug from here? I'm guessing for some reason these events aren't captured by eventd? or the android UI?
Cheers!
On FolioMod 1.3d and 1.4 mouse works?
Yes, it worked fine in Foliomod1.4
Hi! I need Android device that can work with large touch screen displays (see picture). Does anyone know how to do it?
sounds alot like a moto device and webtop maybe you can borrow one and try it

I believe Webtop is not using a touchscreen, instead it uses a touchpad with a cursor like a laptop.
The problem here would be drivers for the multitouch display. Single touch displays will usually work as a HID device, imitating the same hardware as a mouse and would probably work with any Android device that accepts HID devices via USB. I'm not sure how mulitouch monitors interface via USB.
Hello all,
I recently bought an Android tv box and I want to put it in my car. I bought also a 7" digitiser and a "digitizer to usb interface from Adafruit named ar1100" that help me to connect via USB the digitiser and the Tv box.
My problem is that I have set up the interface and when I connect to my tv box using USB, it works as a touchpad , not like a touchscreen. This means that I see a cursor and I need to move that cursor like the touchpad from the laptop.. I want to activate the function where the digitiser works as it is designed.
I have read on some forums that is a "Touch mode" function that can be activated but from what I understand, it is made by developers which insert some lines in the source code...
Do you please have any suggestion for me in order to find a solution? Or an .apk that can solve this?
Thank you very much! :crying:

Did you ever resolve this? I've connected my Ar1100 to three Android devices and have exactly the same problem.
I'm trying to set up an Android-x86 instance, and I'm having trouble with the touchscreen controller. I've tried both an eGalax unit and an Adafruit AR1100. Here's how it goes:
For ROMs based on Android 4.4 and earlier, the USB touchscreen controller installs and works as expected. However, these older flavours don't support external sound cards (which I'm using).
For all ROMs on Android 5.0 and newer, the touchscreen works like a mouse. There's no absolute positioning, but if I swipe the screen a cursor moves. For eGalax controllers, this movement is also inverted on both the x and y axis, so it's completely unusable.
eGalax provide an Android driver but I don't know how to build it into Android. For the Adafruit AR1100, I found suggestions to include a custom .idc file, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Any suggestions? Any ideas? I'm tearing my hair out over this.
