# Android Screencast
Android Screencast allows you to control your android device from your computer.
I needed to access my phone with a damaged screen so I wrote this as I couldn't find anything that fit
my needs.
The only tool that came close was a 6 year old unmaintained project [androidscreencast](https://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/)
that needed root.
I took pointers from the project and started this one in JavaFX.
It does not require root but utilizes adb commands to send input to the device so should work.
## Requirements
You need adb installed.
Your device must be developer enabled and discoverable by adb.
Tested on a device running 4.4.2
## Features
- Screen mirroring (very low frame rate)
- Simulated Clicks, Swipes and Long Presses using mouse input
- Keyboard input
### Special Keys
- ESC : Back
- F1 : Menu
- F2 : Back
- F3 : Home
- F10 : Power Button
- F11 : Camera
### Normal Keys
- All text keys
- Arrow keys
- Enter, Backspace, Delete and Tab
- Home, End, Page Up and Page Down
## Limitations
Frame rate is terrible. It works currently for my needs, but I plan on working on it.
It isn't robust as I cobbled it together in an afternoon of work, but more work will be done to make it solid in due course.
