How to enable mouse pointer in android devices with adb commands

Question

I am trying to enable mouse pointer in android device and control it's movement with adb commands without actually connecting mouse.

Answer 1

This is a very valid question. Looks like the methods are limited, but I found some pretty promising info on this guys blog: PocketMagic article. He's a developer on Google Code, and I've used some of his stuff in the past. So, it looks like you can inject mouse pointer events kernel-level thru adb, by writing to /dev/input/eventXXX, with X being each input method attached to the device. He has created a library to interface with the kernel, and also an installable app that may solve all your needs. However, if you need a pure adb solution, you can probably inspect his code to figure out the process of determining which alias to write to and what his adb commands look like.

Good luck!
