remote-control

I'd like to write a program able to "use" other programs by taking control of the mouse/keyboard and being able to "see" what's on the screen. I used AutoIt to do something similar, but I had to cheat sometimes because the language is not that powerful, or maybe it's just that I suck and I'm not able to do that much with it :P So... I need to: Take screenshots, then I will compare them to make the program "understand", but it needs to "see" Use the mouse: move, click and release, it's simple, isn't it?

Background TeamViewer allows to remote control other android devices . it's quite slow, but it does the job. it requires 2 apps being installed. one that controls (link here ), and one for being controlled (link here ) .

As I just found out, an app does not assume control of the remote controls until it has played audio with a playback audio session, and was the last do so. This presents a problem because like I said, the app controls

Ok, I'm trying to let a user choose songs from their iPod library to listen to, but I still want to receive remote control notifications (headphones, lock screen osd, etc.) in my app so I can do some extra things. So far I can get either iPod music playing, or headphone events, but not both simultaneously. Here's what I know so far... If you use the MPMusicPlayer, you can easily have programmatic access to the entire music library. However, it, not your app, receives the remote notifications regardless if you use applicationMusicPlayer or ipodMusicPlayer. If you use AVAudioPlayer (Apple's
