Apple Magic Mouse Support #34

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Any chance of Apple Magic Mouse support? Others have recompiled Apple's drivers 
to work with Windows 7/XP, I'm hoping the same can be done for Android. I'm 
running Froyo 2.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S, Apple wireless keyboard works great 
but not the mouse. Help please! Will pay!

I don't have a Magic Mouse, but I am hoping to get some HID support, which 
should enable mouse input as well.

What app do you use for keyboard support?

Thanks so much for your interest! My version of Froyo on a 2011 US T-Mobile 
Samsung Galaxy S 4G, model SGH-T959V, running build number FROYO-VUVKB5, kernel 
version 2.6.32.9, firmware version 2.2.1, seems to have some HID support built 
in: the Apple keyboard works out of the box with no external patches. Others 
have reported success using the Apple keyboard with the BlueKeyboardJP app. 
Since several people have managed to achieve full functionality for the Magic 
Mouse in Windows, both 32 and 64 bit, by extracting the relevant descriptions 
from Apple's bluetooth drivers (see 
http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/apple/magic-mouse-drivers), I'm hoping 
something similar can be done for Android, but I'm not a programmer myself so 
I'm shooting arrows in the dark here. Thanks!

This may also be of interest: there are iPhone apps, "BTstack Mouse" and 
"BTstack Keyboard," which followed a similar strategy to enable Magic 
Mouse/Wireless Keyboard access, by extracting the drivers from the Mac OS 
files. Hope this helps!

I also found a Linux kernel driver for the magic mouse here:

Apparently this is included in more recent Linux releases.
