Android Screencast allows you to control your android device from your computer.
I needed to access my phone with a damaged screen so I wrote this as I couldn't find anything that fit my needs.
The only tool that came close was a 6 year old unmaintained project androidscreencast that needed root.
I took pointers from the project and started this one in JavaFX.
It does not require root but utilizes adb commands to send input to the device so should work.
You need adb installed.
Your device must be developer enabled and discoverable by adb.
Tested on a device running 4.4.2
- Screen mirroring (very low frame rate)
- Simulated Clicks, Swipes and Long Presses using mouse input
- Keyboard input
- ESC : Back
- F1 : Menu
- F2 : Back
- F3 : Home
- F10 : Power Button
- F11 : Camera
- All text keys
- Arrow keys
- Enter, Backspace, Delete and Tab
- Home, End, Page Up and Page Down
Frame rate is terrible. It works currently for my needs, but I plan on working on it.
It isn't robust as I cobbled it together in an afternoon of work, but more work will be done to make it solid in due course.
