I'm working on writing a program that controls Android device (via USB cable and the Android-SDK toolset).
The program is written in Java, and is addressed for Windows platforms.
The idea is that I get a screenshot of the device's screen every few seconds and show it in a Frame, and then I can simulate taps and swipes on the device's screen using the PC mouse.
So far everything is working as expected.
The thing is I now want to enable the ability of simulating multitouch events on the device, and I was thinking - why can't I receive such events from a multitouch device such as the touch-pad every modern laptop comes with.
How can I do it? is that hardware dependent? Platform dependent? Would I need to implement some sort of interface with drivers for every touch-pad I want to support, or is there a way to do it simply like I write a regular mouse listener?
