Synergy for Android L M N O

[Nick 2 0]

Because it's possible 

It would just be really cool to be working on pc, get a notification of any kind on mobile and then just use mouse and keyboard to act on it.

(I actually have my phone in a stand below my monitor, so this would be awesome. A miniature secondary screen.)

Any new news on this project?  Sounds like a keeper!

Which DT verfsion of Synergy will this be compatible with?

Sorry, I forget the point for Synergy for Android. Could someone help jog my memory?

Because of Samsung DEX.  Please make this ready to use with it!

Sorry for bringing this thread back to life. I tried installing the APK on my phone by transferring to my phone and then running it and I get the message "App not installed" I did try using dcerisano's fork where they added

*.apk binary

to .gitattributes but that also gives the same result. Also tried cloning that repo and using the apk like that and still same error.

Im running a Galaxy S10+ (on Android Pie) so not sure if the Android version is the issue (but shouldn't be) anyone have any suggestions? I dont currently have Android SDK installed on my machine so cant even open the project to see if I can see anything or rebuild the apk which might be my best bet

I have the same, but I guess it is because the version I use is not rooted?

Sorry to bring an old thread back from the grave - having a tough time in 2023 trying to sort out a way to run this on either a samsung phone with Dex, or a chromebook. Seems like neither is an option at this point, but I figured can't hurt - anyone having any luck here?

The current version available on github connects to a server, but doesn't seem to actually interact with the device

I am not a android dev but it feels like android phones nowadays are way more locked down and it feels like you'd need root. I have seen a Cyanogen mod version. Anyone tested it?

Four years later I am actually still interested... @Nick Bolton any chance Synergy 3 will have an Android client? @weissa74 has a good point here. Or is @burning_wipf right and is it just not feasible on Android without root?
