Attempt to forward events to STF agent when libevdev is unable to manage the input device. #50
Conversation
manage the input device. With Android 10, libevdev cannot access /dev/input devices. As a workaround, minitouch can connect to a server process embedded in STFService.apk that will use the Android InputManager to inject events.

@pcrepieux Could you explain what steps are needed to make this work? I assume I would have to install and run STFService.apk before connecting to the device right? I am running minitouch without openstf... |

thanks @pcrepieux . Shouldn't then STFService.apk be part of this PR? I mean up to this point, minitouch "just worked", but now it seems there are dependencies introduced. At least I think I would maybe copy over some of the documentation you referenced above... |

Can someone walk me through on how to add this to add support for Android 10? |

@1tiktak I tried already and it works. I followed exactly the steps outlined here: BTW. I am not even sure if you need the service or just the agent... |

@1tiktak as it's now merged into master, you can just pull the repo and run stf and Android 10 support should work oob |

Hi @pcrepieux , would this fix my problem on LG devices? I have the latest build of your repo, it seems to work for 64 bit devices but not 32 bit |

Hi @pcrepieux , do you mean I should git clone the https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/stf.git repo again and build? Are the minitouch changes in the repo (https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/stf.git)? |

Hi @pcrepieux , I did the git clone from https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/stf.git and npm install, but still getting this errror... `2020-03-25T09:01:36.028Z INF/device:plugins:identity 30751 [LMXXX] Solving identity 2020-03-25T09:01:36.031Z INF/device:plugins:solo 30751 [LMXXX] Subscribing to permanent channel "LbG8mL2R19k0nvP/7sYg/tX3OnE=" 2020-03-25T09:01:36.032Z INF/device:plugins:screen:stream 30751 [LMXXX] Starting WebSocket server on port 7476 2020-03-25T09:01:36.476Z INF/device:resources:minitouch 30751 [LMXXX] Installing "/usr/lib/node_modules/stf/node_modules/minitouch-prebuilt-beta/prebuilt/armeabi-v7a/bin/minitouch" as "/data/local/tmp/minitouch" 2020-03-25T09:01:36.667Z WRN/device:plugins:data 30751 [LMXXX] Unable to find device data { serial: 'LMXXX', Any other suggestions please? |
