Can An Android Program Control The Mouse Pointer? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For windows, you can write a program which moves the mouse pointer and sends keyboard/mouse clicks. Is the same possible in Android?
Thanks

There are already apps that do that, and even you can use to phone todo input text and as a gamepad.

RemoteDroid uses your Android phone to control windows. I want something like RemoteDroid to control another Android. I couldn't find anything so I was going to write one, but as far as I can tell, Android doesn't let you move the mouse pointer. Is this true?

nothing is there yet which can make mouce work on android
but you can try tablet remote to control one android with another
can be used as arrow keys of a keyboard
please tell me about an app with which I can use my mobile as a gamepad after connecting it through USB cable (mobile is rooted)

No mouse though. Starts to confirm my findings that the xda doesn't support mouse control. Darn.

Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Pirazu (old utility for new device), mouse pointer for joystick...

This may be old news to some or all of you guys but I wanted to share it nevertheless.
Pirazu is a very old utility that was made for PPC2002. It basically gave you a mouse cursor for the d-pad on the device. On my Athena it works with the little joy stick.
Hope someone finds this useful. I had to sign up forum to download it and I couldn't find the developers site so I'm uploading it here for everyone.
Just unzip to a folder on your device and run the exe. If you decide to keep it just create a shortcut to the exe or put it into your start up folder if you like it that much. ;-)
Maybe someone can take this exe and dll and update it for the athena community, unless you know of a more updated one that you can refer me to.
EDIT: Please let me know of any other pointer utilities on the forum and provide links. I remember seeing a few around but don't have the links nor names to search on.
I'll try it, thanks...
Hack this to work with the Vueflow!
And man, this could have saved my Universal with dead touchscreen Too late now though.
not bad I prefer using it with the keyboard. as I still have no rubber on the joypad. and with the keyboard it can move diagonaly

Yes, this is nice for devices with dead touchscreen functionality. Just wish it had smooth and diagonal motion. Someone can hack this since we have the exe and dll and enhance it. I hope they do because I haven 't learned how to do this....yet.

I've used both the ameo keyboard, and an external keyboard, which is handy if I havnt got a mouse in the car. it goes diagonally by holding any two of the cursor keys.

Ah, cool.
I'm using a BlueTooth mouse with BlueMouse and love it.
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=bluemouse
If you could hack ANY of the mouse drivers to work with VueFlo it would be amazing. Sooooo cool.
Id happily pay for it. I wonder if its worth starting a paypal bounty to get vueflo working in other apps.

[Q] Use Galaxy S II as iPad touchpad/mouse?

Hey guys!
I got an iPad 2 because of someone's success, so it's kinda emotional - long story short, I can't sell it, so I want to use it in an efficient way.
- the question: is there an app that turns my Galaxy S II into a touchpad/mouse that doesn't require software on the client's side - or is there any app that pairs my phone with my iPad in this way?
Thanks!
/pushing myself into greater heights
You might be able to pair a bluetooth mouse to the ipad and hope it works like a cursor(it works on the sgs2 i believe) but no way is there anything that will allow you to use the touchscreen on the sgs2 as a mouse for the ipad.

that looks to be using just wifi, i would prefer bluetooth without a client-server system
I use gmote.

Sorry, I had my add post window up before your post showed up for me, so I did not see your added criteria, and you didn't have this criteria in your original post.
Also, through a quick search of the market and google, I couldn't find ANY that don't have to install some kind of server software on the pc you are attempting to control.

[Q] Question teamview, iteleport

hi guys,
My friend and i were playing poker on our computers using our tabs.
He has an ipad2 wich use iteleport
I got a galaxy tab 10.1 and i used teamview
We both succeed to play with similar controls except for one thing:
With teamview i have to drag the mouse cursor over the action button or the area i want to press
With iteleport the "touchscreen" ability stay in, making him really more efficient
Now here is the question:
Is there any other program for android that will let me control my pc WITH the possibility of using the "touchscreen" way of moving the cursor
Thanks for ur help
anyone can help ?
am sure some peoples are using another program than teamview

am not sure i understand what you are trying to say.
Teamviewer is installed on my tab and on my pc, thats why i can take control of the pc.
what im looking for is a way to not "drag" the cursor once connected.
with teamviewer, with the tab, i have to drag the cursor
with iteleport, with the ipad, you just tap where you want the cursor to be
i guess i ask for something that doesnt exist since nobody has replyed
5 Minutes of googling and I came up with "Logmein". It's expensive, though, but it works how you want. You are able to move the mouse relatively like on Teamviewer, but you can use "absolute" input, like a touchscreen.
I also heard logmein works well

[Q] Tablet as Second Monitor

I have tried VNC, ScreenSlider and iDisplay, but they need a PC or MAC to work. Does anyone know of a way to use your tablet as a 2nd monitor to the Android Mobile

I want to know the same thing. My friend has Samsung Galaxy S2, and the screen just feels too small for the phones capabilities.

Questions go the q&a forum, not general.
You're looking for something that doesn't exist, I'd fix the pc first.

You don't need an app to use a USB or Bluetooth mouse, just plug it in, and you will get a mouse pointer automagically. Android supports it natively.
