Moving mouse pointer on Android screen programmatically

Question

I am developing an Android application where I would like to move the \"mouse\" pointer/cursor on an Android tablet. I know this is possible because when I connect a mouse

Answer 1

It is possible to control the mouse pointer in Android programmatically via the AccessibilityService API.

Here is an example app in the play store: EVA Facial Mouse app

Here is a github repository for controlling the mouse pointer via WiFi (API level 21): chetbox/android-mouse-cursor

I have forked and updated the latter repo to API level 27: Ra-Na/android-mouse-cursor

Answer 2

I would like to control that mouse from Java on the Tablet.

This is not possible, except via firmware or specialized instrumentation code. Ordinary SDK applications cannot inject input events this way.
