Android Question Dual Screen POS

[Kevin Hartin]

Hi,

is it possible to use an Android based dual screen POS device, with the second screen connected by HDMI, in a manner whereby different screens show different information?

right now they are mirrored, rather than extended (windows parlance)

I note that bundled POS software does this, but I assume they were developed with access to special libraries, etc.

You can have dual display, I created an app a while back but can't find the source code, but this should get you going.

I sold this dual-screen cash register, and his system has an interface

Thanks for that, the native android development environment is beyond my capabilities, I was looking for a solution that I can implement in B4A.
