[Wish] External display support

[gmazzeo]

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean adds support for external displays such as the hdmi out. My wish is to be able to utilize this to display independent images on a second monitor. maybe this could be added via a library? I am still learning any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly there is no standard API to access the external display.

Erel, Thank you for replaying to my post. Android 4.2 API's now include support for external displays. Here is a link that explains the details.

I think what I need is a wrapper library for Presentation, and DisplayManager classes? is this possible?

 

[Erel]

You are correct. It is possible to wrap it.

I have no experience with java. Can you provide some pointers or recommend a tutorial that would help me to accomplish this?

This looks like a quite complicated library. See the tutorials here if you like to try to wrap it.

It does require Java knowledge.
