I am also searching for a similar app on Android which could do the same job as TuxSH/mastermune's InputRedirectionClient-Qt. If we refer to the documentation of QtGamePad, the library is supported by Android (v4.1+) using the InputDevice API. Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience in coding and at a first sight, it seems that there is something more to do than just compile the GitHub repo.

By the way, I am going to learn a bit to see if it is actually doable. Also, I always wondered if it is possible to use an other communication method (something else than through wifi). I am thinking about the data-sharing which is available in most smartphones. Too little knowledge here too.

Some documentation :
  • Qt for Android
  • QtGamePad
  • Getting started with Qt for Android
  • InputRedirection-Qt GitHub Repository

I'd also like an InputRedirectionClient-Qt pie to Android. Like, have all its features in an Android app, and being able to use input redirection on the go.

As I am not a programmer and tried to get something working, the app has a lot of bugs :
  • Analog inputs act like dpad inputs
  • There are some ghost-input issues
  • Lots of code improvement could be made
  • Missing Android native theme (Qt default)
Don't hesitate to share your thoughts about the porting.

To see the release : GitHub > InputRedirectionClient-Qt > Forks > InputRedirectionClient-Qt-Android > Release (sorry can't post a link yet)

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
