Android Support Neglected #64

Closed otboss closed 9 months ago

Support for this software on Android Linux (via Termux) is non-existent. See the screenshot below:

Why?

I was planning to carry only my android phone and work laptop to my workplace and be able to control my phone via remote-touchpad using the laptop's keyboard and touchpad and do some Linux shell work on my Android phone. Unfortunately ADB has been blocked on my work laptop so I can't use that. Remote-Touchpad could have been a nice web-based work around if only it worked.

Android is one of the most popular operating systems yet it gets no love

Android support is not planned. It would require a separate android app that implements an AccessibilityService and draws a "virtual" mouse pointer on the screen.

If you only need termux I would look into web-based SSH clients.
