[Q] Can an background app catch all touch events? - Android Software Development

Hello,
I don't know if you heard about LMT? LMT is a Windows Mobile multitouch gesture launcher, which allows to open apps, switch between them, close them and many other things via multitouch gestures.
Now I migrated from WinMo to Android (HD2) and asked the dev to port it.
The question he asked is:

Can someone with android development skills tell me, if an app like LMT would be possible? Can an app/service catch all touch events, even when it is not the foreground app. If this is possible, I'll dowload the SDK and start porting...

Does anybody has an answer to this question???
Here's the thread for the LMT port discussion.
Here's a Video of LMT.
Thank you very much for replys.

change requests for "TASK FACADE (DYNAMO-3) visual task switcher"

Hi gps-lover!
I'd like to post some ideas here to make "task facade" even better:
Pocket PC Version:
It would be nice to ba able to add a task to the "banned task"/"banned window" list from within the application - for example from the dialog that appears after doubletapping on a task.
Smartphone Version:
In the current Version (3.7.7) ist is not yet possible to close a task with the facade. This would be a nice feature.
Regards

why? why open a new thread for this?
you JUST replied to the original thread.
read the rules..
it was my idea.
the problem is, that thread is too big, is used mainly for problem reports and is hard to track for feature requests.
so the idea was to have a separate thread for feature requests only.
sorry if it's against the rules.

it's just that... imagine that every other app has a thread only for requests...
this section of the forum is already drowning in new threads... that's why the questions and answers section was openned.
If i were you i'd ask people to give in suggestions with the title "Suggestion" and then you can search your thread for all posts containing "Suggestion"... and get only those posts. go through them to get an update for your app.
just an idea
cheers.
p.s. sorry for sounding blunt, it's hard to pass on the tone of voice..
might i request margins between the screenshots so they arent sharing the same borders ala xperia style??? i believe that it would look better and more eye appealing without losing functuality
thanx for your hard work

That's already an option.
I have the HTC Touch Pro and the program will not allow me to close any open applications. Is there a fix for this yet or do I need to do some config to get the tap and hold feature working to close any open tasks?? I got hooked in when I saw the youtube demo video. I believe the phone used was either Diamond or TP and it worked flawlessly on the video. Did I do something wrong?
Any way to mimic the vista aero task switcher? So you could flip through the open tasks with finger swipes.
Scroll Support for Tilt/Kaiser
I'm using Task Facade with the AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser). When I start Task Facade, I usually see two columns of two or 3 panels each. The scroll wheel will move up and down the column that is originally selected, but will not move over to another column.
Would it be possible to make the scroll wheel "loop" through the columns, so that when it reaches the bottom of one, it moves to the top of the next?

C# device/screen lock

Hi,
I can't find anser for this on forum. Maybe i'm not good in searching
How to lock/unlock keys/screen programically i Visual C#? I have SDK 6.
How to capture that call is comming? (to unlock device).
I plan to write app which autolock device.
I have HTC Touch Pro.
Thank you for help!
There is no "method" built in to do this. You have to work out a method yourself. What I did a few years back to accomplish this was to trap the hardware keys and input switches on your target device (this becomes hard on multiple devices) and write the app to keep itself on top always. It's crude, but worked well for me. Then just use the standard telephony api for your incoming call monitoring.
Maybe use the program
CSDEVCTRL
from the forums here ?

[Q] Double flip. No need for gesture search, could it be used eleswhere?

I downloaded gesture search thinking it could be cool. It's not that great but this double flip idea is awesome. Any way to get an app that has programmable gestures? Like Apple's mouse gestures? I love those and can't help to think it would be awesome to tip my phone certain ways to open programs or answer a call or who knows.
Well upon trying this out a bit it hardly ever works so maybe this is just not feasible? Someone on here has got to have some idea if this could be done. Anyone want to give it a shot?

[Q] Finding right place to mod an app

I hope this is the right place to post a question about modifying an existing app. In the long run, I want to create a Xposed module to do the modification, but to get started I work with modding the decompiled app. The app in question is de.zeit.diezeit.epaper.android, which is a German newspaper reader app (I am not expecting anyone to know it). What I want to do is to get rid of the scrolling animation when reading an article, because I am using this app on an eInk device (Icarus Illumina).
Now my problem is, I don't find a starting point. I have to say I don't have much (read: almost none) experience with writing Android apps (although I have a lot of programming experience otherwise). Thus I have no idea how such an animation would be implemented. I searched for references to the Scroller class and replaced the duration argument of the startScrolling method by 5ms, but this didn't change anything.
Is there any way to run the app in some kind of debug mode to see which methods are called at which time? Another idea how to find the right spot might be the trigger of the scroll: I am using the hardware page turn buttons of the device to scroll down exactly one page. How would this be implemented, what should I search for to find the code that reacts on these buttons? (Also: how can I press these buttons in the emulator?)
I am sorry if I am asking too many noob questions. If there is relevant documentation I have obviously missed, please point me to it. Thank you very much for any help!
Try looking under res/anim*

Hi, very late after the question, but I am considering buying an Illumina XL HD e-reader in order to have e-ink to read newspapers. What has been your experience with your device (which model in particular is it?)? Also, I would like to root it. Do you know if that is possible? Finally, did you manage to modify the app? If so, was it difficult?
Hi, hope you found the solution
