remotedroid's Issues

Headless server feature

It would be nice to have an option to run the server software without a GUI 
visible. I've attached a suggested patch to provide a -headless argument at 
the command line.

Not compatible with Swype

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect from RemoteDroid client to RemoteDroid Server
2. Attempt text entry with Swype text keyboard

- Swyping method of text entry yields no results.
- Tapping individual soft keys on Swype keyboard (fallback) produces letters, 
but enter softkey does not work.
- Swype covers mouse buttons and RemoteDroid keyboard icon
- Phone Menu key normally used to enable/disable the soft keyboard does not 
work.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

RemoteDroid Server 1.0
RemoteDroid App 1.4
Swype 1.56.30.7625.t100 on Motorola CLIQ Android 1.5

Additional info / Workarounds

I would say the physical keyboard is a workaround, but the keymapping is 
incorrect on the CLIQ see Issue: 
http://code.google.com/p/remotedroid/issues/detail?id=2
Combined with the fact that the menu button doesn't seem to be enabled to 
switch between soft keyboards this eliminates any easy work-around for regular 
swype users.

No arrow keys

There doesn't seem to be anyway to emulate arrow keys.  Perhaps a mode change 
for the trackball would allow for this?

Feature request: Full screen touchpad

I think it would be nice to have an option to hide the click/keyboard buttons 
and make the touchpad take up the entire screen.  You could add two-finger tap 
to right click, and you could use the Menu button to open/close the keyboard.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 12 Sep 2010 at 4:43

Hide keyboard in menu button

It's very easy to accidentally hit the keyboard button; I'd like all of the 
buttons hidden until I call them. This would increase the touchscreen area as 
well. Currently the menu button is unused - this could be something to put in 
there.

[request] Edge scrolling

When I scroll on the edge of the screen, remotedroid should act as though I

Different keyboard layouts don't work properly

RemoteDroid needs to take different keyboard configurations into account.

Keys such as "@" don't work on the Moto Droid.

support volumeup and volumedown

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start and connect remotedroid on android
2. push volumeup or volumedown

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the volume on the server should change


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
windows 7, android 2

Please provide any additional information below.
the JIntellitype API seems to support special keys like volumepp on 
windows. the android app could react on pressed volume buttons and the 
server could invoke the native methods to change the volume (tunesremote 
does a similar thing with itunes)

: and ; do not work on hardware keyboard.

On a HTC with hardware keyboard.

Press alt+H for ':' I get '<'
Press alt+j for ';' I get '>'

All the other alt+ keys  work, including alt+n (for '<') and alt+m (for 
'>').

Was trying to edit in vim ;) was kinda tricky without :

Two quick cursor moves register as a click-and-drag

1. Move the cursor using the touchpad, twice, with a very short finger-lift in 
between.
2. Do it over text to see the text get selected.

Because the first drag was not in-place (ie. it is an obviously intentional 
cursor move), you would expect the second one to NOT be treaded as a 
click-and-drag. On most laptops, the second movement is only treated as a drag 
if the first press did NOT move. remotedroid treats both scenarios as a 
click-and-drag, presumably because it doesn't check whether the first gesture 
moved outside some threshold. 

Version 1.4 on Android 2.1 on rooted Milestone.

Add an authentication or pairing mechanism

Feature request:

I would like to suggest a pairing mechanism that uses the camera and a
generated QR code displayed on the server.

The data in the QR would be used as a public key to facilitate a symmetric
key exchange. Then AES could be used for the remainder of the session. If
the keys were stored on both ends, the handshake would only need to be done
once.

Optionally one could opt out of the encrypted connection on the server.

Default ip is 127.0.0.1 on Linux

There should be a check that the returned ip is not the loopback interface
otherwise it's impossible to connect from the mobile.

NEW FEATURE: Use volume up and down instead of on screen buttons

On screens buttons take to much place, better use volume up and down keys as 
left and right mouse click and have much bigger touch area.

I can try to implement this if there are more people interested.

Mouse Scrollwheel via trackball seems upside down.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Scroll in any application that reacts to it. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Rolling the trackball up causes the scroll wheel to react as though it were
down.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest versions as of March 19 - v1.4 of server and client.

Please provide any additional information below.
This was done on a Rogers HTC Dream.

Allow different themes to be used

With the latest layout, it is way easier to support different themes for
the PadLayout.

We could start by creating one or two extra different layouts, and maybe
add info on the Project Home on how people can contribute with layouts.
It's just a matter of creating some nine-patch images:
- Pad
- Left button up
- Left button down
- Right button up
- Right button down
- Keyboard button up
- Keyboard button down

Stops working when clicking on Skype, Steam and probably more programs

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Clicking the Skype window will make it stop working.
2. Same thing with Steam (www.steampowered.com)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
RemoteDroid just stops working when clicking a Skype or Steam window. It's like 
it's "going away" from the Windows Desktop somehow. Hence disabling itself.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.4. Windows 7 64bit (Ultimate)

Please provide any additional information below.
For all I know, there's probably more programs which will disable RemoteDroid. 
Running a game does the same thing, although this is expected. But Skype and 
Steam are "Windows" programs that aren't going fullscreen or anything other 
that would(should?) disable RemoteDroid.

Create an interface to allow different forms of communication

To allow different forms of communication (ex: bluetooth), the best way
would be to create an interface and implement it with different types of
communication.

Currently the UDP code is really heavy and generates lots of GC. See issue
9. (http://code.google.com/p/remotedroid/issues/detail?id=9)

This would allow someone to implement a Bluetooth implementation easily.

I'll work on it.

Localization needed

RemoteDroid needs to take foreign character sets into account, like
cyrillic for instance.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 6 Jan 2010 at 10:00

Current implementation is generating too much GC

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Pad
2. Drag your finger as much as possible
3. See logcat showing tons of big Garbage Collects every few seconds

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Little GC

Why?
With reduced GC, we get:
- Faster response
- Less "jumps". When GC runs, system stops responding
- Lower power consumption (yeah, not thaat important, but every little bit
counts)

Allow pasting of clipboard to remote host

Not a problem, but it would be REALLY cool to have an option to paste the 
contents of the clipboard 
(plain text) to the remote host. In combination with other apps such as the 
barcode scanner this 
would be very very useful.

Move is registered as tap.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable tap to click
2. Drag across the touchpad section and lift up in a relatively short timeframe

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The mouse should move with no other effects. Instead the movement is captured 
as a "click". The click should only be a click if touch location hasn't moved 
that much.

Custom On-screen Keys

Custom "keyboards" (feature request)

Feature Description:

User selected image + config "map" (similar to HTML image maps) would define 
screen zones that, when touched, would send specific keystrokes (or keystroke 
sequences).  

Uses:

Desktop app-specific remotes.  One keyboard would, for example, be a "big 
button" keyboard for Hulu, another for iTunes, etc.

Community could share keyboard configs.

If interested, I'm willing to propose a detailed spec.

xperia x10 mini

Thank you very much for this application.

Tested the application on an Sony Xperia X10 Mini.
It works like a charm.

Two things on wish-list. 

* It is not available from the android market. Is this intended?
* Your screenshot shows a rotated display, which does not happen on the x10, 
but this is ok in my opinion. Only the left green line of the right button box 
is missing.

Best regards,
