Mouse Cursor Android
Cherie Trojak
I can get the mouse to work with my phone just fine; attach it through a simple adapter. Clicks register, movement registers - but I have to guess where the click will land, because there's no cursor.
I just wish there was a feature in settings were i could just turn off the mouse curser on android.. cuz what im trying to do is disable the black android mouse curser so i can play android games with a mouse like fps games..
As you can read in my personal introduction, I would like to control a fairphone2 via a mouse cursor. (Most people might not even know, that a smartphone can be operated via a common mouse. It is analogous to how you operate a desktop PC with a mouse.)
As far as I know mouse-functionality is implemented in standard distributions of Android version 5 and later. For example, if one plugs (with help of an adequate USB-adapter) an usual USB-mouse into a Samsung Galaxy S6, then a mouse cursor appears on the smartphone-screen and everything can be done via the mouse.
Same here, July Patch Android 6, FP2, with some chinaware micro usb hub, otg functionality, attached some wired usb mouse logitech or something, mouse cursor shows up pretty much immediately. Works as intended.
Enhance your device's functionality with the Virtual on-screen mouse, a resourceful tool designed to offer an always-visible mouse pointer for Android users. It is ideal for those who face difficulties with touch screen precision or require an alternate input method, such as users operating large tablets or managing their devices with just one hand.
Gain the ability to click effortlessly in every corner of your device without the need to drag across the screen. The mouse keys feature allows for precise control and navigation by letting the cursor glide seamlessly to the desired location. With sound-click options, an audible click provides confirmation of your selection.
Setting up is a breeze; simply grant the necessary permissions and start taking advantage of advanced features. Customize the experience with voice-enabled clicking, a smooth cursor, and various mouse keys for high precision movements.
Android 9 and later users will appreciate the convenience of uninstalling the app even with permissions enabled, while users on older versions must revoke accessibility permission first. The application requires the use of accessibility services to function effectively; however, user data remains secure as the application does not use or collect any personal information.
Uptodown is a multi-platform app store specialized in Android. Our goal is to provide free and open access to a large catalog of apps without restrictions, while providing a legal distribution platform accessible from any browser, and also through its official native app.
Description of the issue:
On any other browser I can use my S Pen as a mouse and activate drop down menus, start video previews, show tooltips, and carry out other mouseover events by hovering over them with the pointer. On Brave absolutely none of this works.
Expected result:
The mouseover event should be triggered. There is a pointer, effectively a mouse cursor, on the web page acting as a mouse. Every other browser recognizes the S Pen pointer as a mouse.
Brave seems to be attributing mouseover action to physically touching the screen rather than hovering with a stylus like it should. It leaves the last place you touched, including when you scroll the page, as the point to activate mouseover.
So you should have the setting checked in Settings --> Privacy and Security --> Fingerprinting Protection which makes the option becomes available in the Shields panel (at default Standard) and be able to adjust the level on a per-site basis.
I want to change default mouse pointer in Android emulator. I want to change it for my game to use different type of cursor.I am using AndEngine for my game development. Is there nay way to change default mouse cursor for my Application. Thanks in Advance
As JanithaR mentioned, there's no "default mouse cursor" in Android. Newer versions of the Android operating system support a developer mode that shows touch events with a screen image and various apps exist that create a mouse effect for touch events.
For your own application, if you want to have something like a mouse, you should think of it as a sprite that gets re-positioned based on touch events. You'll have to decide if you want the "pointer" visible on the screen when the screen isn't being touched (i.e., whether to leave it in the last touched location or whether to remove it). You'll also have to decide whether you want multiple pointers appearing for multitouch.
As you noted in the comments, the above sample code was for GLES2. I think you'll find yourself in increasingly a land of no support if you're determined to use the older version GLES1, so the real advice I'd give is to upgrade to GLES2. (It's free, after all.)
I know your question isn't directly getting at this, but I suspect the User Experience community would have aneurysms at the idea of implementing a mouse in this manner in Android. From a usability standpoint, it really is contrary to the "touch" experience people expect with Android and iOS. (Reminds me a bit of some early console ports of PC games.) That doesn't mean there isn't an appropriate time and place to do it, but I think it's worth giving thought to whether you really want to fake a "mouse" or if there might be an alternative, more android-friendly, approach to your problem.
Hello
im just trying top down template for mobile
i want to enable showing the mouse cursor for android
i tried that by enabling show mouse cursor on player controller but by launching the game on my mobile no cursor on the screen
is there any way to do that
thank you.
Currently, the pre-installed Netflix app is a patched version of the mobile version of the app. Navigation is done mostly by simulating touches via the mouse cursor. This is not ideal in a lean back setup. The most problematic I think is that playing and pausing cannot be done using the OK button and the Philips remote does not include media buttons so doing these functions will require you to use the mouse cursor which is cumbersome.
Very interesting, is the TV version you have more recent than the current Philips version? Also what app are you using to download stuff directly onto the PPM. The built in Firefox is no good for this so I just got Opera but am yet to try it out.
To get your mouse cursor to work, you simply need to press the Ctrl key on the right side of the keyboard. If you don't want to keep pressing Ctrl to release the mouse cursor every time, simply install the VirtualBox Guest Additions by clicking on Devices > Install Guest Additions. When you do this, you may need to mount the virtual cd-rom drive by using the following command:
In the VirtualBox Manager menu at the top of your screen, go to File> Preferences> Input. Go to the Virtual Machine tab on the right. Look for Host Key Combination, then look next to it under Shortcut and delete "Right CTRL". It should now say "None."
Our Android app is optimized for use with gamepads. You can use an external mouse and keyboard, however: you might encounter compatibility issues such as a double mouse cursor, erratic mouse movement, or incorrect keyboard mappings.
Participants moved a mouse along a force-feedback-defined linear path, either without vision or while watching a cursor set to 1 of 3 levels of visual:haptic gain (all >1:1). They attempted to haptically reproduce the movement without visual feedback. Errors increased with gain, reaching 70% overestimation at the highest gain. Forewarning participants about gain variability did not eliminate this effect. The gain level was potentially cued during the movement by the mismatch between visual feedback and kinesthetic feedback. Moreover, because participants did not achieve cursor-speed constancy across gain levels, visual speed was another cue to gain. Collectively, these cues failed to prevent visual distortion of movement reproduction.
