MouseMove

[TedN]

Does B4A have an equivalent of MouseMove, or MouseOver or MouseOut, etc.

I appreciate that most apps are programmed for finger position on a tablet but I have a need to use my app on a PC occasionally where the mouse cursor would hover over and exit a view.

Thanks

Android devices doesn't have something like mouse hover over something, because when it detects your finger, it means you've clicked.

You cannot run a B4A app on a pc except via the emulator, where the mouse position becomes immaterial.

If I plug a USB mouse into my Touchsquid tablet, which runs Android 2.34. a cursor appears on the screen and the left mouse button works exactly as in windows.

So, somewhere in Android is the ability to show a cursor and move it. Does anybody know how to acces these functions?

Have just tried the same thing with my Odys Xpress. A mouse appears as well. But only as a red outline. Works well, right hand button seems to be "Home".

Can't really think of the point of using a mouse, thats what the touchscreen is there for!

I want to write an app that will allow one Android to control another, by simulating mouse (touch) movements and clicks. The mouse pointer provides a way to show the user where the action is.

I already wrote an app that allows the Android to control a PC this way, using sendkeys on the PC end. Is there a way to do the same in android?

The problem is that Android doesn't allow you to send such events to other applications (for security reasons).
