I need to active a video in multiple samsung devices and a arduino at the same time, and activate them Through an app all in the same time. I don´t even know where to start looking for it.
I found that you can run the mylk vr app with a bluetooth, but I don´t know if it works for multiple devices.
I already know how to connect an arduino via bluetooth, all I need is a bluetooth library that sends a signal to a bluetooth module
I need to manage the way to do this 2 things from a single app in android
Do I have to make the app in java? is the only choice?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully

Does anyone know if something like this is out, or if someone is attempting it? I think it would be a great app that many people, including myself, would pay for. I don't have the know how to try and make it myself, does anyone else?
I believe the ps3 uses a proprietary bluetooth protocol and the bluetooth stack on android is not fully developed. I'd love to see it too, I have a ps3 as well. I just don't see it being likely at this point.
Here is one more vote for a PS3 controller app! I don't use it for a DVD/Blueray that much, but when I would do it would be nice. Or to control the Music player VIA bluetooth OR uPNP maybe?
that would be crazy. i had a ps3 but sold it. waiting for something better by sony.even tho "it does everything." haha.
This would be FANTASTIC!!!! I know where my phones are at all times...my remotes...not so much.
I want this! I'd pay $$ for it!

agreed.... this would be awesome.
I would be all over a ps3 remote app. I hate the official remote, I don't want 30 buttons on a remote. That's the whole reason to get the remote, so you don't have a complicated controller. And stop should reboot the ps3 everytime you accidently hit it.
bump
does anyone have the know-how to make this happen?

That looks interesting but it relies on the Bluetooth HID profile. So it should do most stuff but probably not the power. Unfortunately it's for WM and Android doesn't have a developed HID profile yet.
I'd like to state my support for this. It would be very convenient, especially for movie playback.
Wishing that the Android devs can get the speed up to fully implement the Bluetooth protocol/-s, including neccasary HID profiles. That's one of the major flaws with the entire platform - the lack of proper BT implementation!
I would love to have this too! I had MobileRemote 1.1 for my HTC Diamond (WM6.1) device, and it worked pretty well - although it seemed a bit bloaty and unstable. I believe a fresh developed application for the neat Android platform would be much better!
add me to the list. I would also pay a little $ for an app that would control videos and be a keyboard. Wish i knew how to make this happen... I could use the money.
ive got a psp but no ps3 yet (the girlfriend said its my xmas present though) so i could control some things with the psp but id rather do it on my phone
id pay for it
I find it odd with as advanced and feature rich as android is we lack proper bluetooth support. I too would love to see an app to at least provide the basic functions of selecting music/movies and ff/rw.
Id spend a few dollars on it

Wonder if Android 2.0 (SDK out now, 2.0 in Nov '09) will help out development of one of this kind of application? The developers added a Bluetooth class to the framework. I think it's mostly for file transfering, but perhaps there's some other protocols supported here too?
Anyone with knowledge, please have a loop at this package.

EDIT: About 1 minute into this video they talk about Android 2.0 BT abilites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc
"Android 2.0 includes a bluetooth API that let's apps turn on and off Bluetooth,
discover and connect to nearby devices and send and recieve data"
The BT API now enables:
"Peer-to-peer communication"
It could be possibel as long as you can connect the phone to the ps3 you just have to figure out the keyboard commands to send. The ps3 does some bluetooth keyboards.
wireless keyboard app
Someone needs to make a wireless keyboard app for ps3 xbox macbook laptop etc
Hi,
Is there any app that can be used to make your phone act like a webcam? For instance is there a way to use the phone's camera with skype to make video calls?
Yes loads lol have you searched the market?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Yes I have and I found only one which is no longer developed.
P.S.
There are many apps in the market but they don't do what I want. As far as I see most of them make your phone stream content that you can watch from your browser, but so far I can't find a program that can use your phone for video calls with skype.
You tried IP Webcam by Pas? Its on the market, and works great. Best of all, its free.
There's also Droidcam, which has drivers for Linux and Windows. The paid version of it apparently can transmit sound, but only with Windows. I tried an older version with Linux and it worked well.
droid cam is a good shout, i use it and its easy to use.
Thanks guys.
I tried IP Webcam. It seems the program has the necessary feature, however I have to download third party drivers for windows, so will try it later.
Will check droid cam too.
Hi, i love my HTC One and get amazed about it`s functions and new features i stumble upon when using it. The only thing that really irritates me is the Medialink HD system that i don`t understand. I have a lot of airplay compatible units and often also the one`s i visit. I am not able to share anything like i am used to with Airplay.
The real question is if it would be able to exchange the medialink with airplay in a custom rom. I don`t wish to loose any of the other functions but wish i were able to use airplay like i did on my Galaxy Note Phone. In custom roms the gallery app and music app had been upgraded with built in airplay functionality so it seemlesly pushed my media forward to my chosen device.
I will never buy the Medialink hdmi kit and won`t get the same satisfaction with their system considering the fast development, universal plug and play interface and standarisation that is happening with airplay.
Another post in the forum asked about the possibility to change the three finger swipe for Medialink to Airplay but was just declined in two post without a real answer. I know this is something HTC One user`s would deeply appreciate if it was possible to add this feature built in and not in some power consuming, buggy and very limited app.
Best regards.

Hi everyone, first time poster so I'm sorry if this isn't the right forum to post in, but I felt like it was the closest I could think of.
I'm trying to find a way to mimic how the chromecast causes a tv to switch to the input of the chromecast dongle. I have an Android Box that came rooted and has HDMI-CEC capability. What I'm looking to do is somehow use Tasker to trigger the CEC-switch activity/intent/whatever to have my tv (turn on) and switch to the HDMI source of the Android Box (the box will be left on 24/7 and tasker will continually run as background service on the box). Basically, I'm trying to imitate the chromecast's cast action to bring me to my Android Box's input and ultimately it's home screen.
That's where I'm stuck at the moment. Things I've thought might work:
1. Wake-On-Lan (Doesn't seem to wake the box, even when I've checked to make sure the power button made the box sleep and not perform a full shutdown) Tried-Unsuccessful
2. AutoCast to have the box cast to itself, but it doesn't have chromecast/miracast/etc built-in as far as I can tell according to the specs and see anything about cast ability while browsing through its menus.
3. Using Android's HDMI-CEC library in a Java Action in Tasker to imitate the CEC switch sources intent/activity. However, I just recently learned that Google decided to lockdown their API for HDMI-CEC interactivity, so that scrubs that idea.
4. The best bet, and what gave me the idea to post here, is this App Cast Receiver that was created by another user on these forums that seems to accomplish something close to what I'm trying to do in allowing an android device to imitate a chromecast device. If I were able to use this couldn't I then use the AutoCast app I mentioned above to have the Android Box cast to itself, then stop the AutoCast app a few seconds later (after giving the box's CEC capability enough time to make the tv switch sources)? But, unfortunately it appears the app has since been deserted and won't work with the newer chromecast sdk. Maybe someone has an alternative app?
Since this is my first Android Box I'm not quite sure how Tasker actions function when ran from the box. Example: Would a Wake Screen Action trigger a switch of HDMI inputs?
So, after exhausting all my ideas after coming up with nothing in my searches I figured I'd ask the community here since this seems to be a pretty dev/mod-heavy community (and I love it). I'm not sure if this would be better suited for the Tasker or AMLogic Android Box forums on here. If so, I'll happily move the post if a mod cannot do so for me.
TL;DR: Looking for some way, be it app or otherwise, to imitate chromecast behavior (utilizing CEC) in order to make tv switch source to a running Android Box's homescreen.
Hey! tell me more about 3, I was looking to have a Raspberry Pi act as a go-between to simulate CEC with a non-CEC TV by receiving my remotes IR codes and sending either CEC codes to the ChromeCast or using the CC API to pause/stop play - but only reverse engineered versions are available on Pi.
The Pi has built-in CEC support so you can use `apt-get install cec-tools` and then play with the `cec-client` to do some interesting stuff. The ChromeCast in my case has an invalid address so I don't seem to be able to activate pause play. (I see a logical address of 4 but also an address of `f.f.f.f`, ie invalid).
Anyways, it may be worth playing with a Pi and seeing if HDMI-CEC will do what you want, and then seeing if you can get a CEC library for android and just recreate the Pi work. Less hoops to jump around.
I don't know enough about the Android side. The CC API has an Android implementation so I would think you'd be able to do everything you want, iff it does the switching. I've done very little development on Android (a meteor app and an Android native camera library work), unfortunately. (If the Pine64 supports CEC I may end up going down this route).
I've posted more about my interest here: on reddit /r/Chromecast/comments/5znpuk/i_want_to_use_a_raspberry_pi_to_control_the/

Here's the link to Android's documentation for the HDMI-CEC Control Service. But, like I said it's been locked down and only allows system-level access now.
I don't have any Pi at my disposal (plus my Android Box also has built-in CEC-capability/functionality) and since my situation doesn't actually involve chromecast I never thought to look at their api/sdk. But, I was able to finally solve my problem with a painfully simple, yet not that intuitive or logical method. The way my box's os/firmware appears to work is by firing the cec signal to switch inputs only on its boot_complete and wake_from_standby procedures. My solution just simulates pressing the Standby button twice in a row via Shell command (with Root option checked) from within Tasker. Logically, I thought after the first press the box wouldn't respond to the second press due to already being in standby mode (because of the first button press). But, it turns out both simulated presses occur (maybe keyevents are queue?), allowing me to put the box in standby momentarily and immediately bring it out of standby, which triggers the wake_from_standby procedure and in turn causes the input to switch (or my tv to turn on then input to switch).
My thought with the Pi and CC API was that you would use the PI to monitor the HDMI-CEC bus as the output is controlled by the CC - assuming it switches the input to itself but my TV doesn't support HDMI so maybe that's a bad assumption - and then use that knowledge to replay using the Android HDMI-CEC API. And not understanding what you meant by the API being locked down. That kind of sucks - I was hoping Android would be another bridge platform if the Pi failed me.
Well congrats on a working solution. Cheers!
Hello everyone !
I would like to know if it's possible with Tasker to force the sound to be played on a Bluetooth device ?
If I'm casting my phone on a Microsoft Wireless Display, the sound is also casting on it.
But I want my sound to be sent on a Bluetooth device.
I've tried the app SoundAbout and it's working. But it's not free and as it's not perfect (there is no shortcut to quickly enable/disable it) I'm looking for a solution with Tasker.
If someone knows how to do that ?
Nobody ?
Look for a way to do it manually.
You should be able to automate it with Tasker.
Autoinput (Tasker plugin) can simulate presses in apps, if needed.
Yes thanks, I know AutoInput and I think it's going to be the only option !
