Input: DENIED

[AndyM48]

Describe the bug After setting permissions I still see Input; DENIED

Running on Huawei Y6 2019 Android 9 EMUI 9.1.0 droidVNC-NG 2.5.0

Apps>Permissions> Storage droidVNC-NG true

To Reproduce Start droidVNC-NG

Expected Behavior Input: GRANTED

Additional context I have seen several other bug reports her, but none seem to have a solution.

Thanks for your App and for your help

Thanks for your report! Please:

• try with alphavnc, see what happens and post the result here
• provide a logcat dump beginning with droidVNC-NG start and ending with the screen you're seeing above

[AndyM48]

alphavnc does not seem to work either. Can connect from client, but no input possible.

logcat for droidVNC is available here

Thanks for any help

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService$TakeScreenshotCallback" looks interesting. This refers to https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityService.TakeScreenshotCallback which was added for Android 10, so your device doesn't have it. But the code using it is not executed for Android 9. So basically, no good idea. Might be a vendor bug, it works on the Android 9 official emulator image.

OK, thank you for looking. Indeed Huawei can be a pain. I will try searching all the less obvious settings.

Experiencing the same issue as @AndyM48 (OP) - droidVNC-NG is denied accessibility usage (input), while alpha vnc lite is allowed and works. Some photos attached. Running on Lenovo Tab M8, Android 13

@th1031 please post:

• logcat output
• how you installed the app

Thanks!

[AndyM48]

So I may have solved my problem, but it has to be proved yet:

1. On droidVNC-NG select START
2. Go to Accessibility as prompted
3. Under INTERACTION CONTROL tap on Accessibility Shortcut

and select droidVNC-NG

5. Under DOWNLOADED SERVICES tap on droidVNC-NG and turn it on

6. Accept OK

Hopefully that might help someone

You need to install from a "store" app directly, otherwise Android imposes additional security restrictions. See https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/139tyju/i_tried_to_turn_on_accessibility_option_and_it/ and other places on the web.

@AndyM48 If i understand correctly, you could solve your issue? I'm tentatively closing this report, let me know if it's not solved.

[AndyM48]

It was solved as detailed in my message. The solution may help others.

Thank you! As it turns out, from my installed apps list, I simply had to open droidVNC-NG, and from the App permissions three dot menu upper right of the screen, select "Allow restricted settings". I especially appreciate that I can initiate a remote session without needing verification/permission from the remote end. Thank you for your work on this project.
