Hi. I'm new to this group so your patience in supporting a newby is really appreciated :)
I have a smartbook which runs an Android version derived from a tablet. The smartbook is equipped with a keyboard and a touchpad and an (optional) USB mouse. Unfortunately Android is mainly designed for a touch panel GUI, and it's not very well adapted to a keyboard&mouse interface. In spite of that, if I plug a mouse to the smartbook a mouse-cursor arrow appears on the screen and I can use it to access all of the GUI features. At the same time, the built-in small touchpad still works as a touchscreen, but it's close to useless like that (except for the slide functionality). But it's not that convenient to have an external mouse, so, since the mouse driver is already there (it must be there, as I can use a USB mouse), I was wondering to replace the touchscreen functionality with an actual touchpad one, i.e. a replacement for the mouse. I hope you got my idea. I'd like to understand about the feasibility of such a change. Any help is appreciated, including links about how to start approaching the change. thanks Fabio -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
