Droid@Screen

- A real-time viewer of an Android device

Droid@Screen shows the real-time view of PC connected Android device. The application is written in Java and is presumed to work all platforms that has Java 6 installed and a working USB connection to am Android device. Currently, it has only been tested with HTC Hero on aWin7 machine, running Java 6.

Usage

The application is completely packed into an executable JAR file, which you can launch either by double-clicking on it or type

java -jar droidAtScreen-0.3.jar

Requirements

• Java 6

• Android SDK. You will need to point out the full path to the ADB executable. Typically, this application can be found in

  $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/adb (on Linux/Unix)

  %ANDROID_SDK_HOME%\tools\adb.exe (on Windows)

Known Problems

This is an alpha-version of the application, which I hacked together during 2-3 days, simply because I needed this kind of functionality for a presentation a few day later. Please, test it and report problems, or even better, fix them and tell be how.

• There are some support for multiple devices, but I don't own two Android devices and have therefore not been able to test it. So, don't expect it to work flawlessly.

• The sceen-shot service, creates the image in a redish way. I haven't had the time to figure out why.

• The GUI might need some face-lifting.
