I am developing an Android application where I would like to move the "mouse" pointer/cursor on an Android tablet. I know this is possible because when I connect a mouse (USB or BT) to an Android tablet (Honeycomb+), a cursor appears and I can interact with the tablet using the mouse only. I would like to control that mouse from Java on the Tablet.
I already have a second device that can communicate the tablet and which can stream pointer coordinates to it.
And no I can't use bluetooth. The second device that I'm using has WiFi but no ability to drive BlueTooth. My thought is that there must be a way to move the mouse pointer.
It is possible to control the mouse pointer in Android programmatically via the AccessibilityService API.
Here is an example app in the play store: EVA Facial Mouse app
Here is a github repository for controlling the mouse pointer via WiFi (API level 21): chetbox/android-mouse-cursor
I have forked and updated the latter repo to API level 27: Ra-Na/android-mouse-cursor
