trying to understand how things works,
From reading Android site, I know that utilize Secondary display & Presentation
But upon connecting Android device to laptop, how should I make it a USB appear to part of selection.
Is there anyway I can utilize browser like chrome to display the screen from Andriod device?
I notice Vysor able to do this, how is the big picture works?

Is it possible to create an app which launches on an external display when HDMI is connected to the phone?
Basically. I want to create an app that works like a mini OS, similar to Samsung Dex.
To start off, I'd just like to have the app launch automatically when HDMI is connected and adjust to the screen size, then show the user home screen app icons etc.
Is this possible?
I found some apps on the app store that do this:
Sentio desktop
Leena
How are they doing this?
Here's an open source project that can help you. right here
I recently bought an android tv box (dongle) model mk808b plus which some of you might be familiar with. What I want to do is use it for development, I want to program on it using adb, Android Studio.
The problem I am facing and its not the first of its kind, I get this with all the media boxes that I tried, they dont work as adb devices at all, I dont get any device in my device manager when I connect them on the usb (not even an unknown one). I tried reflashing the android, I put cyanogen mod on it, but to no avail, it still happens. Another thing is, if I put my device in Recovery Mode it does detect an unknown device in my control panel, but never after I boot up my android os.
Now before you say I didnt enable Developer Options Usb Debugging or I didnt put my device as MTP device, I did. I checked these and the cables im using are fine.
I dont have any problem with my Nexus 5 or S5 for the matter, just when I try these android boxes that come up with these tv like custom roms.
If you guys have any idea, I'll be happy to read, I did not find anything related to this on the internet.
PS: Why not use my Nexus 5 or S5? because the app im developing is for these boxes, so testing some of the features such as hdmi connectivity etc etc is very useful to me.
Thank you,

Unfortunately I couldn't do anything, maybe it's because of the custom ROM on it, but I did find an alternative, I'm using adb on tcp ip, it seems to work after I rooted my device, still no usb adb interface.
I am developing an Android Application in which I have captured screeenshot.I am sending the image to Socket with Ip Address and Port No.I am able to connect to the ScreenBuffer.But the receiver that is Vnc Server is unable to receive the image.
So for reference as per my Findings I got the following samples
1) https://code.google.com/p/desktopsms/
2) https://code.google.com/p/remoteroid/
But I need to capture the screen of my Android Device on Desktop and Control My Device remotely
Based on My R & d I found that Real Vnc has apps that control the android device.But they require rooting which I dont need to do.
Has anyone worked on similar kind of issue.
Thanks
Hi I haven't worked on creating any app similar to this, but I have worked on softwares like "android screencast" and "android commander".
Both were able to display my screen to PC.
But on rooting my Phone (froyo) I was even able to control it from PC with Android screencast. But I did the same for my other phone (Jelly Bean) it displayed the screen but I couldn't control.
Hope it helps :)
I've got the LG P970 phone running on Gingerbread with a broken screen. By broken screen i mean that screen displays nothing - it's lighten up, all black with color lines but it's touch sensitive (i believe). I've got important data on it and I want to get it back. Unfortunately USB debugging mode is disabled on the phone so adb devices command on linux shows empty dialog.
So here comes my question: is there any possibility to remotely turn on usb debugging mode on android device?
This is how I solved this problem (on a Samsung Galaxy S4):
This assumes that the phone's screen does not display anything, but the touch input still works.
Figure out how to take a screenshot on your phone without using the UI. On the Galaxy S4, you can use hardware buttons to do this.
Unlock your phone's lock screen, and connect it to a computer.
Open the phone in a file manager.
Find the location where the phone stores screenshots.
Take a screenshot on the phone. Look at the updated screenshot.
By doing this, you can perform an action on Android, take a screenshot, and see what screen comes up. After doing this awhile, you should be able to find the USB Debugging menu.
Simple, use a new phone say an S4 to your cracked broken S4 and get to the video port (several youtube videos on this) hook the new screen to the old phone and now you have access to debug set usb or transfer all the files its just as simple as plugging in a working screen!
I'm trying to build a system where I would hook up a small computer to a TV, and I need that computer to display a website in full screen as soon as it boots.
I know that I can do this with a linux distro, but what about an android ?
These sticks look pretty good: http://www.amazon.com/CX-919-Android-Tronsmart-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B00D05XSMY
Or do you know of any "usb stick" like that that's a computer ? I'm thinking either that or rapsberry pi, but the rasp is not really plug-and-play type of thing.
So my question is: Is Android flexible enough to have an init script that would fire up a browser full screen ? And if not, what would you recommend ?
Thanks
If by init script you mean something that launches a browser at startup, than your only solution is to create a custom launcher, that does nothing but starts the browser full screen.
Intent for browser launch.
Custom launcher. You have to set it manually, but after that it'll become the default launcher.
By the way, I would suggest Android sticky thing, as you said it's plug and play, and it has everything out of the box: storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI cable. If you buy a Raspberry even if software installation is easy, you'll have to add a lot of stuff before you can use it, almost doubles the price.
