[Q] Can a mouse emulate swiping? - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Moon+ Reader software to read pdf files on a Sony xperia tablet. Instead of swiping on the screen to scroll the pdf, I would like to use a mouse wheel instead to scroll. Is this possible and what do I need? Using 4.2.2.

[Q] Any good app for textbooks?

Can anyone recommend a good pdf viewer mainly for textbooks? I had a transformer and they have a really good reader called "My Library". I like the fact you can double tab on any part of the screen and it will fit the page vertically so you can just scroll left and right to view the left portion and right portion of the page without scrolling up or down. Does anyone know a app that does something like this? I just bought ezPDF reader and when I double tap it zooms too far in so instead of fitting the page vertically. This is all in portrait mode if that matters.
Haven't tried it myself, but saw on the mobi forums that a lot of people like Mantano Reader (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mantano.reader.android&feature=search_result). Seems to have a bunch of PDF features plus epub abilities.

[Q] Pen functionality in HC

For those who are lucky enough to try out HC on their Flyers, I have a few questions about the pen functionality that I can't seem to find anywhere.
I know you can use the pen to touch apps and scroll and such, but how is the functionality of the pen when used in the apps?
To be more clear, you know how the pen takes screen shots of anything you touch when you want to annotate anything (in an app that's not compatible with the pen)? How does that change in HC? In a YouTube video I only noticed that it acts as your finger when you use the pen.
I use the Flyer a lot in school and it gets frustrating to have to take snapshots of every single power point that I want to highlight or annotate. (Mostly because some powerpoints I don't annotate and aren't included in the folder of those that are annotated) Does HC allow for more functionality with the pen with other files/apps such as PPT files? The functionality of the pen with Polaris Office and PDF Reader just isn't enough to be efficient to be used in an educational setting IMO.
Thanks.
Pen in HC works exactly like how your finger works, except with the pen-enabled apps. Those still works the same way as in GB. To use the screen shot scribble mode, there is an extra option in the pen menu when you click the pen hardware button.

The same functionality it just can be used as a capacitive stylus now versus in gb you could only use it in certain apps. Now you can virtually swipe and touch any screen and menu. I have two office applications I'm going to see if the stylus works in either and get back to you

Tab key in alternate browsers?

Does anyone with the keyboard dock notice that the tab key doesn't work in alternate browsers? I've tried Opera, Firefox, and Dolphin, and tab doesn't move between form fields like it does in the stock browser. The Enter key doesn't always submit forms the way it's supposed to either. Only in the Stock Browser does everything work.
I thought it might be Thumb Keyboard, but it's happening even when I switch back to the default Asus keyboard.
Anyone see this or know how to fix it?
same here
would love a workaround or fix!
It works fine for me when I use the stock Asus keyboard. I use Chrome browser.

I think he means the tab key on the keyboard dock. Not the asus virtual keyboard. I had the same problem, but I usually end up using the stock browser anyway because I miss having the dock browser key working.

Yep. I'm saying when I use the keyboard dock with the Asus keyboard selected I can tab from field to field. I normally use Chrome browser or ICS broswer+ but here is a video of me doing it on Dolphin HD. Shift + tab to back up a space wasn't working but I didn't test it out on any other browsers.

Bluetooth mice and hover controls?

I connected a bluetooth mouse I had lying around hoping it would allow me to use the browser like a desktop browser with support for things like popups that occur when hovering the cursor over a link/picture, dragging flash or other controls, drag-select text.
None of these things worked. The cursor appears and I can move, tap, drag and use the scroll wheel. But it basically behaves as a surrogate of my finger. All the web controls that would require a mouse on a desktop and that don't work with my finger, don't work any better with the cursor.
Is this the expected behaviour? I tried the stock browser, Dolphin and Firefox. They were all the same.
Is there any advantage to using a bluetooth mouse? The only things I can see are less fingerprints on the screen a better precision for positioning the text cursor. But my capacitive stylus covers those just as well.
Thanks.
Tried it on Chrome? Depends with FW are you on, and kernel.

Does it work properly on Chrome? From what I understand Chrome requires ICS and while I played with it briefly it seemed like it still needed work on stability and I use the camera for Evernote. But I'd be happy if ICS supports proper mouse integration.
I'm using Task 14 with Pershoot's kernal.
Thanks.

With what you are using, I believe you are getting the expected behavior. "an extension of your finger"

Not entirely sure since I don't have a BTooth mouse but will test it for you sometime this week.

How to simulate a keyboard and mouse in MC:PE?

After the latest version of MCPE, it is possible to play with Keyboard & Mouse like on Windows. But in RemixOS, the game thinks I'm not using a keyboard but instead touch. I can walk with WASD, and place blocks with a mouse click but moving and deleting blocks is very difficult. Is it possible to manipulating MCPE into thinking that i'm using keyboard & mouse controls?
