- on_and_off 11y agosome would definitely work pretty well. Several streaming services have native apps on both mobile & desktop. I think that their mobile apps could run pretty well on desktop. For many complex apps though (like anything dealing with text edition), the lack of hover & right clics handling would be a pain. Android supports 'hover' events (and since API 1 IIRC) but nobody implements them in custom widgets. Android supports mouse input but even as an android engineer I have no idea what the right click does in that situation.
- 746F7475 11y agoI know this is a cop-out, but wouldn't Google Docs work just fine in the browser here. I mean I haven't done any work on Google Docs, but I did use it all the way through uni. Or maybe we should just force everyone on Vim and world would be more glorious and productive place.... right?
- yincrash 11y agohttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent.html#BUTTON_SECONDARY http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEv... BUTTON_SECONDARY is reported in the getButtonState() of the MotionEvent, but I'm not sure most apps ever check that. I would guess in a lot of cases, if there is only checking on pointer down and up, it will act like the left mouse button.
