App to control your android device from another Android device or a PC over the internet connection

RemoteDroid

####Build status

Stream you device's display to another android device. And control your device back from that device.

Note: For KitKat+ (Lollipop) devices, new MediaProjection APIs are available which do not require the app to be installed in /system partition. I've implemented this API in this demo.

Note : I haven't really been maintaining it lately as I am usually stuck with other things, and that RemoteDroid requires a bit of extra efforts to make it support new Android versions and devices. If you're someone who wants to modify it according to your needs, and can hire me as a freelancer, ping me at [email protected]. Thanks.

remotedroid's Issues

[Bug] A display bug

Dear developer!
In the process of using, I found a bug in layout / display. As shown in the figure, in the first page, the text of the middle button is blocked, which may be an adaptation problem. It is estimated that the height of the text component needs to be set to be adaptive to the text size.
App version is 0.1, my mobile phone is Google nexus 6, screen resolution setting is 1920* 1080, font size and display size are the largest ! ! !, Android system is 8.0.
The above is a description of the problem. The overall experience of the software is good. You can see that the design is very attentive. Thank you very much for the efforts of the developers all the time. I hope to receive a reply.
Thank you!

Failed to connect

hello,omerjerk
About the server side and client side, whether all need root?
What is the difference of RemoDroid,please tell me which better performance?
thank you.

Starting the Main

How I can start the main and get the methods by reflectiong to start injecting events?

Cannot show the right screen

The job is great.
Code is few and easy to understand.
From this, I tried vysor which can control android from pc(chrome plugin). that's great too.But no source could be found.
and then I found RemoteDroid_web from this job.
but it can not work rightly.
websocket is corrected builded . Data is received by websocket in the demo html.
But the html just show a grey block.No screencast.

Question: how to connect to the sever from PC

Hello,
Is it using vnc? What is the user name and password?
Thank you!

No APK?

No APK release is available
Side note: Does it work on android 6.0? I have a vizio smartcast tablet remote collecting dust since you can't exactly use it on newer tvs.

Resource leak -- file not closed -- found by Facebook's static analyzer

Hello,
This resource leak report, included with comments
below, were found by running

Facebook's Infer static analyzer on RemoteDroid.

Regards,

Facebook Static Analysis Tools Team

File: app/src/main/java/com/koushikdutta/async/util/StreamUtility.java

Report: Resource Leak: resource acquired by call to FileOutputStream(...) at line 83 is not released after line 86.

Remarks: The problem seems to be that dout.write(...) can throw an exception, in which case dout.close() won't get called. A simple fix is to put the call to close in a finally clause.
