[Dev] I made an app that lets you control your phone over your web browser

Posted: 20 Sep 2016 08:46 PM PDT

Hi everyone,

I recently published an app called Casto. It lets you control your phone from your web browser, without requiring root or installing extra software. Here is a video of me using it:

  • https://vid.me/DP9b (The mouse on the bottom left of the screen is there to show you when I'm left clicking with my mouse)

And if you want some webms, here are some webms!

Here's the Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.odysan.casto

I really hope that this app will serve you well, and continues to serve you well as I bring in more updates. You can stop reading now if you're not interested in a little details of the process.

In May I had the idea of an app that lets you cast your screen onto your web browser. So I did what anyone else would do: I searched the internet for an app that did this. There were quite a few of them. I didn't try them all, but I did notice that a lot of the popular ones required you to either install something to your computer, or root your phone, or have the device on the same network as the computer, or even plug your phone into the computer. I wasn't willing to do either, and I know that a lot of users don't want to do that either, so I decided to make my own.

There was a lot of Googling. A lot of road blocks. I had to put this away for about a month because I was getting so frustrated and I was prioritizing this over a lot of other more important stuff.

I remember one of the biggest things that I had to consider was bandwidth. Because this involves a continuous stream of a device's screen, it can quickly eat up my server's bandwidth (which I do not have a lot of). So that's when I decided to minimize the requirement of the server from the streaming equation, and make the streaming go from the Android device to the computer directly. That saved me a lot of bandwidth. I still use a web server though to let the computer and the Android device "talk" to eachother.

So by the midpoint of this project, I had an app that let you cast your screen to your favorite web browser. The aspect ratio was wonky so it looked funny on your web browser, but it worked. So then I searched on the Internet and the Play Store to see what else there was, similar to my app. My search terms must have changed a great deal, because as it turns out, there are quite a few of these really good ones on the Internet. Like, really good. But they were still quite restricted.

So do I stop here? Am I content? Fuck no. I wanted to fix the aspect ratio, so let's do that.

Around this time, /r/Android was pretty vocal about wanting an app that lets you control your phone from your browser. Their complaints were in line with mine, and I felt like if I just added it to my project, that it would be the best thing ever. So I decided to add it.

After this decision, I remember playing around with the adb commands and seeing that I was able to touch certain points of the screen by a simple adb command. My phone isn't rooted, so I should be able to do this by running a script in the app, right? Wrong -- I don't have permission to do this in the app, and the permissions for this kind of thing seem pretty dangerous -- territory that I don't want to tread. The other option was to require the user to download adb, and have their phone plugged in if they want to control it from their web browser. I didn't know how this would've worked, but I assumed it would require more software they need to install. It goes against all that I was initially aiming for, so it wasn't hard to shoot this option down.

I also considered installing adb onto my web server, and somehow rigging up a way for the Android device to connect to that adb server so that I could issue touch commands remotely, but it just didn't seem like it was in the right direction.

And after much more Googling, I came across the method that I went with: Accessibility Services. Very minimal fuss for the end user, and at the same time, straightforward to implement.

Thank you all for reading. Again, I hope that you guys find this app useful.

Cheers,

Cody

Google Allo doesn't show you ads while watching videos through it

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 03:40 AM PDT

I made this observation after repeatedly asking Google assistant about YouTube videos and watching the videos through the app. Unfortunately, to go full screen you have to open YouTube app but still, it's good that Google decided to skip ads within Allo. http://imgur.com/i9Tnm7x Have you all also observed the same?

When apps suddenly have a popup to harass you into rating them in the Play Store, why does there seem to never be an option for "I'VE ALREADY RATED THIS APP"?

I'm a judo teacher and looking for an app that lets me organise my training

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 07:35 AM PDT

I'd like something where I don't have to type in from scratch everytime I plan a training. The app should save parts of the training (different warming-up exercises, different games...) as presets.

Anything that'll keep apps closed when not in the foreground?

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 08:58 AM PDT

I already use greenify and I don't like the way Titanium Backup has their freeze/defrost/run/freeze implementation, but I'm looking for an app that will allow me to keep specific apps closed when I'm not using them in the foreground.

Greenify says its working, but some apps are still generating hundreds of wakelocks and over 40 minutes of "awake time" when I'm less than a day, even when I'm not using them.

Thanks.

i want to be able to view my texts on my pc via pushBullet but am worried about privacy. am i being stupid?

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 08:48 AM PDT

I'm intrigued by PushBullet, and seems it even has some E2E encryption which is nice. But overall, I don't like to download many third party apps (ie non Googles) as I don't like every small company having access to my texts, phone, pictures, etc. Example, I heard some SwiftKey users were getting possible login suggestions from other users. That makes me uneasy.

Am I being paranoid about PushBullet? What exactly will it store, and have access to? Any downsides, upsides you can think of?

[DEV] Phonsole - stream console output to your phone

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 05:55 AM PDT

Hey guys,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.phonsole.www

I've just released a new app, phonsole, that allows you to easily send console output from your PC/laptop to your phone, via the internet. There are instructions here, and the app's also available as a web app at https://www.phonsole.co.uk

The app's aimed primarily at developers, or other power users who regularly use the command line. I've found it very useful to use my phone as a second monitor for the output from gulp/grunt tasks, without the hassle (and extra CPU usage) of using a second screen app. I'm sure there are other uses for it as well, like monitoring a command running on a server.

Hope you find the app useful, I'd really appreciate any criticisms, or ideas for new features, if you have any.

All the source code is on github (link), licensed under the GPL.

I'm looking for an offline voice to voice translator app (hungarian to german).

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 05:18 AM PDT

Hi androidapps, I'm looking for an app that works like Google Translate's voice to voice translation but you can download sound pack for offline use. I want to use it to hungarian->german translate so it has to have this 2 language. Size and price doesn't matter.

I don't have much hope there is one out there because I looked for it for weeks now, but I figured it's worth a try.

Also I'm open to some workarounds to download google's sound packs or any apps sound packs to use it offline if there are any way to do this.

Swiftkey versus Fleksy

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 10:05 AM PDT

So, I was a long time SK user. I kind of dealt with the lag issues that I experienced at the time because it was the best. Then, my brother introduced me to Fleksy and I switched and used it for a long time. After reading that the Neural Network stuff was integrated into the main SK app I went ahead and switched back. I haven't used it for 24 hours yet, but are the lag issues gone for SK now? I've noticed a little lag, but nothing too bad yet.

Is there a way to save frequently used numbers but don't want to save them as a contact?

Posted: 21 Sep 2016 09:13 AM PDT

I would like to save some numbers for ease of use and always be available...but don't want to save them as a contact. For instance, I want to save the local pizza place number in my phone but I don't want to add that as a Contact in my contact list. Same goes with taxi numbers, local business, even non emergency police numbers. Is this possible or is there an app for that?
