Share My Creation Air Mouse App

Hello everyone, I still need some help testing this app, i've added some better error handling and have fixed some minor bugs, i'd really appreciate it if a few of you could install this app along with the server on your machines and give it a go, I would like to get as much feedback and suggestions as i can.
this is the application

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dandre.dev&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kYW5kcmUuZGV2Il0.

The Volume controls can be accessed by pressing on the menu button.

and the server can be downloaded from here, the server was written using visual studio 2008.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/82367588/Air%20Mouse%20Server%20v1.0.0.exe

I want to thank Erel, Poseidon and a lot of other people who have helped me so much here in the forums, please give me some feedback on how this app works, suggestions are also welcome..


thanks guys,
Walter

Hi Barx, you don't need to sign up to download it, but try this just in case that doesn't work.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks,

well, it went like this, Sorry if this is a little blunt.

I ran the .exe as requested and it came up with a msgbox with what it recons is an ip address. Not the format I'm used to to be fair

hhhh::hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh%hh

the 'h' being hex digits.

I opened app on device, it asked for IP. I thought I'm not entering that on screen keyboard so popped out my physical kb. Typed it all in the close kb and was going to tap ok only to notice the IP had gone. Not saved state on orientation change. So, I typed it all in again with on screen keyboard and ok'd. Then got an exception and force close. I had option to wait so did, then an add appeared on screen almost filling it. got rid of that, then saw a dot in screen which I assumed would be the pointer. tried to move it to be force closed again. lol

why does it need my location? ads i'm assuming

Hi Barx, ok thanks for that info, i guess i have to make some tweaks on the server side, the reason why it gives you the Ip address in hex is because on my computer the settings are a little different, but i know just how to fix that, can you try again, first find out your computer's IP address by opening a command prompt and type "ipconfig" enter that IP address into the input box when you open the app on the phone, it should connect to the server, you should see a toastmessage saying "communication established", i will try to work on the other issues this weekend.

thanks for your input Barx

cheers,
Walter

ok, yes got it working using IPv4 format.

It is working pretty smooth with the odd jitter but nothing bad. One thing I noticed straight away was that I slide the pointer about and if it lands on something clickable, i.e. a shortcut or start menu etc, when i go to slide again it registers a click. So i have all sorts popping up lol.

Other than that, seems good. Bad ads though, appearing on the area that you have to touch to use app. For that reason alone I wouldn't use.

Don't worry about it Barx, it's good criticism, i appreciate that, in that case i better get rid of those ads, lol, did you try the volume controls, press on the menu button and you'll see the controls pop up, give a try and let me know if it works good.

again, thanks for your feedback, i'll work on it and make some improvements.

cheers,
Walter

Just tried the volume out, it also works good.

If I was to offer any improvement of this feature it would be:

1) Add a separator between +/-
2) See about adding function to increase volume continuously whilst holding button rather than tapping away like a demented cwazy guy.

Neither are 'problems', and only my opinion, others may/will be different.

Hi,
Nice app,
Server installed and displayed my ip in long format. Used "ipconfig" method.
It connected with no problems.
I can not exit the server application by right clicking the tray icon and choosing exit ( not sellectable ), when its window is displaying in the desktop.

The Android side gives a successfull connection message at the first connection, at the following connections there is no message ( intended i guess )

I can control mouse movement and double click.
Volume controls, including long pressing works..

No landscape mode ( intended again ). But my monitor looks more like a landscape phone

My Pc ip is 10.55.6.105, server displays 10.55.6.0 (maybe intended )


Will there be a version where we can control by waving the phone
