Can I make mirroring application without rooting?

I want make mirroring android application.(Sender)

I wrote question about "mirroring" yesterday and.. I got "Presentation APIs" -API 17-. (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Presentation.html)

But, I still don`t know how can I access screen video stream.

Therefore, My question is this.

  1. How can I make packet that phone`s screen stream?(both video & audio)
  2. Is ADT provide APIs about mirroring?
  3. Is it need root privileges?

I found mirroring APIs for only SAMSUNG Galaxy phones. But I finding android common API.

Please help me.. Thank you.

Solution

  • The latest version of Chromecast App allows screen mirroring - at least for certain devices like Nexus 5, 7, 10 ... So I don't think it would make much sense for you to pursue that.
