Is there a way to use multi-touch gestures with a mouse? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to do some simple things like zoom and scroll using a mouse. It's a Logitech M510 - 5 buttons with scrolling mouse wheel. Anyone know of a way to do this? I have root and Xposed on 2.1 stock ROM. Thanks

but unfortunatelly, I can't use optical joystick to operate virtua mouse, it only accept d-pad...its annoying to control mouse cursor with dpad...
how can I map optical joystick to control virtua mouse...
I think a better way of solving this is trying to get the i780 optical joystick program running, a thread is up about it.
What is the advantage of a virtual mouse when you have a touch screen?

Precision?
Granted, with Opera zooming it's not needed so much, but still if you're using your fingers instead of the stylus, sometimes it might be nice.
single handed usage. love it on my i780

Tried GRemote?? Its working good (over wifi tho)
thanks will give it a try and get back to you. but is there a bluetooth solution
amazing software thanks.
but the hardware keyboard does works as if the square function key is pressed all the time and i cant disable it by pressing it. i have to use the on screen keyboard. any solution to this problem
also is there a way to make the touch area behave as left click by double tapping (like laptop touchpads)
the left click for xperia is just hold your finger on the screen and a circle will circle around the point pressed and open up a right click menu
can someone else confirm the keyboard problem. its driving me nuts.
btw im using touch-it 3.5
I confirm the hardware keyboard issue, works in [fn] mode all the time.
I use a program called Salling Clicker to control my computer. It can connect through bluetooth or wifi. It can control common media programs and does mouse and keyboard through scripts. This script was written for the TyTN but works on my TyTNII and my Xperia.

Simple question. Does trackball on mouse work?

Spend a lot of time reading a lot of Bluetooth mouse related posts but can't find an answer to my question. Does the scroll wheel/ball on a Bluetooth mouse work on the tab? Meaning if I am in a long webpage, will I be able to scroll? If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel that can move left & right as well as up & down, are you able to scroll between homescreens? What about scrolling in the app drawer. Please include the name of your mouse. I'm really interested in getting an Apple mouse with a trackball. Thanks everyone.

xoom + usb camera kit + mouse = limited use

ok I know there are a ton of threads about if a wireless usb mouse will work with the Motorola Camera Connection Kit.
Yes a usb mouse does work (at least for me) with the camera usb connector, but what I've yet to find on here and my searches was that your limited on what the mouse actually does.
I guess this is still a software and Android OS limitation, but I was hoping I might have some functionality with the mouse other that just move/point click (all buttons on my win mouse are just normal click function) while the mouse wheel scrolls.
Is there anyway to configure the mouse's buttons for different key commands? I was really hoping to be able to use my mouse's previous/forward button in the default browser.
any apps that might configure or assign key commands to the mouse on honeycomb 3.2?

Not sure but I'd also like to know how to change the mouse cursor - it's kind of small and also if anyone knows where the cursor files are stored?
I use a Logitech V470 BT Mouse and also get click n' drag and some right click function depending on which app I'm in.

What Android Events Are Triggered from Touchpad on Logitech K400?

I know that my Logitech K400 keyboard with touchpad can cause some Android apps (like the Dolphin Browser) to zoom in/out when I hold CTRL and swipe with 2 fingers up or down.
I have written an app that responds to pinch gestures (via OnTouch and a ScaleGestureDetector as shown at can we use scale gesture detector for pinch zoom in android) on the device's touchscreen. It works fine with the touchscreen.
However, my app does not see any touch events when I hold CTRL and swipe with 2 fingers up or down on the K400. I have tried debugging over wifi while the K400 is plugged in and set breakpoints in the OnTouch listener. I, of course, hit the breakpoints fine when using my fingers on the device's touchscreen. And I get a touch event when I press the K400's mouse buttons. But no joy with the CTRL-swipe.
So what kind of event is the K400 sending to the browser when I hold CTRL and swipe with 2 fingers up or down? I would like to see if I can trap these. Is there some debugging app that can help me ID what is going on here? I have seen at least one app for testing the key codes sent from the keyboard. But nothing so far for the touchpad on the K400.
Thanks in advance for any help/tips you can provide.
