remote-numpad's Introduction

Remote Numpad (Android project)

Introduction

This project is a part of a trio of projects:

  • Remote Numpad (this project): Written in Kotlin, this is the client which runs on an Android device and sends the user's inputs to the computer.
  • Remote Numpad Server: Written in Kotlin, this is the server that runs on the computer and receives the inputs from the Android device and simulates the key presses.
  • Cocoa Native Server: Written in Objective-C, this is the Bluetooth server library for MacOS X. It receives the Bluetooth data and passes it on to the Remote Numpad Server.

Description

This is an Android project written in Kotlin and compatible with Android devices down to API level 16. It is made up of 2 activities, the main NumpadActivity and the SettingsActivity.

The NumpadActivity is the activity that displays the numpad using a ConstraintLayout and sending them through an IConnectionInterface that is decided by the user preferences. So far, wifi, classic Bluetooth (RFCOMM) and the Bluetooth HID profile are supported but BLE and Wifi-Direct are intended to be implemented in the future.

The SettingsActivity is the activity which allows the user to select the interface through which to send the inputs and the location of the server.

A short tutorial on how to use Remote Numpad can be found on Youtube and the latest stable release can be obtained from the Google Play Store

Compilation

The project is set up with Android Studio so it can be compiled using Gradle or imported by any Gradle-capable and Android-capable IDE (e.g.: Android Studio, IntelliJ, Eclipse) and then compiled.

Contributing

This is not a main project for me so help is very appreciated. Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project (issues, requests, pull requests).

remote-numpad's Issues

Chromebook compatibility

I don't know if this is due to how Google links Android phones and Chromebooks, but I'm unable to use this as an HID device on Chromebooks. Is there something I'm missing, or is there anything you can do to enable this? Any suggestions would be welcome!

'=' key for spreadsheets formulas [feature request]

While using the remote numpad, I found it could be convenient to have the '=' key on the numpad.
The "enter" key that si available is perfect in excel to validate, but when you want to define a formula you start with "="
Eventually the arrow "up" "down" "left" "right" could be nice.

Thks for this life saving app ! I just got a 13inch laptop without a numpad. And this is very anoying when doing lot of calculations on libre office. It works great in HID mode under Ubuntu Mate 22.04

Change Keymap

Hello, nice tool.

where can I change the key-function ? I use/need a keypad without the dot-Key (key_label_decimal). But I need the backspace-function without to change the settings (because reconnect and scan the network + check the host-name). Has the dot-key a second level function after press numlock-key ? Any chance to remap the second-function of the dot-key ? I found no defintion of the keystroke-mapping.

Have you a example of code to define a new/remapped key-id of the sec. level-dot-key ?

Numlock on app overrides alphabetic keys on laptop keyboard

On my laptop, when I enable the numlock on the app so I can use the numbers, my laptop's keyboard enables its own number pad, which in turn disables many alphabet keys on the right side of the laptop keyboard. Is there any way of using the app without this occuring?

Laptop: Pinebook Pro
OS: Manjaro KDE Plasma
Server version: remote-numpad-server-1.5.1-all.jar
App version: 1.6.3 installed via FDroid

F-Droid

Since it's open source: Have you considered uploading it to the F-Droid store?
That's where I look for apps first.

[Bug] Texts in the buttons on the main page are blocked

Describe the bug

Dear developer!
In the process of using, I found a bug in layout / display. As shown in the figure below, on the main page, texts in the buttons could not be seen fully. This may be an adaptation problem. I suspect it is because display and font size are set to the large ones (mainly due to display size).
Because of some problems with my eyesight, I often use the largest font and display.
103165857-dbaf8580-4857-11eb-9e22-120ae1901389

App version is 1.7.1, my mobile phone is Google Pixel 2, and the screen resolution setting is 1920* 1080. And my font size and display size are the largest ! ! ! Also, my Android system version is 10.0.
The above is a description of the problem. The overall experience of the software is good. You can see that the design is very attentive. Thank you very much for the efforts of the developers all the time. I hope to receive a reply. Thank you so much!!

Expected behavior

I hope that I can see all of the texts in those buttons, and in this circumstance, part of them seem to be blocked.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. use the largest font and display in the display setting
  2. open this app
  3. this error could be seen

Environment

  1. Version of Remote Numpad: 1.7.1
  2. Device : Google Pixel 2,
  3. OS version : Android 10.0

KDE Connect compatibility

I establish my connections using KDE Connect.

However, I don't seem to be able to use Remote NumPad with it (as a simple keyboard... And there really isn't any great alternative to this!)

Can you add compatibility with KDE Connect?

Thanks!

Problems connecting as HID device

Hi, I wanted to use one Android device as input device for another one - I assume this would only work with the Bluetooth HID method?

Well I tried various things, it looks the closest I was able to get at it was pairing the devices vie Android Bluetooth settings, then selecting the other device as host. Tapped "PAIR", not sure if it did anything but it left the settings menu. Then tapped "connect" which did apparently succeed but after tapping any other key (like "1") it was immediately disconnected.

Unfortunately, when I tried to reproduce it with cable and adb logcat attached it did not work anymore :(

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

BTW my actual usecase would be to emulate a BT mouse or touchpad which should not be too hard to add to the code if I get the connection working .. waht do you think?

TIA
