Hi -
I'm using Android Studio to build an Android app that runs on a CCwGT (Chromecast with GoogleTV). I've been able to setup developer mode, and I have sideloaded my APK. Initially it didn't show in the default launcher, but I fixed that by setting up the project for "Android TV" in Android Studio.
Anyway I have multiple APK's from various sources (e.g. VLC) and I have NO problem assigning VLC to the supervised kids accounts I have set up. The problem is that I cannot do it for my own sideloaded APK. I'm not sure if I am missing some sort of configuration in the Manifest.xml or something else. The application is simply not visible in the list of apps, therefore I am unable to select it.
Since I am not a professional Android developer I am struggling to find information on how to solve this. Can anybody shed some light on how this is supposed to work? Could it be related to topics like content filtering or perhaps family sharing? Any hints or tips into the right direction are very appreciated.
I haven't setup a ADB yet since I don't have a USB3 hub with passthrough.
Thank you in advance.
You don't need USB for ADB -- it runs over network.
adb connect ip.add.re.ss

Ok so I just got an email that team viewer released a beta version for android. Sorry can't post the link not enough posts. My problem is that it is a direct download through the browser. When I go to install my phone will not allow me to install because it wasn't downloaded through the app market. Is there anyway around this besides rooting my phone. I have a stock phone. The teamviewer page says this
"Installation notes
You can download and install the App using your Android web browser. Due to this direct download and installation you will have to enable the following option in Android once: Settings - Application settings - Unknown sources (enable)
I cannot find this setting. I am pretty sure that I will have to root my phone to do it I just wanted conformation. Thanks in advace for your help.

hi i dont know about the samsung devices, but on htc devices its no problem. i forgot to set the setting too. but when i try to install, there was a popup coming up with a options button, to actiavt it.
but in the normal settings menu its settings-applications- check unknown sources
i tried it out, its pretty smooth. i like it
you can download the apk from their website onto pc, then install via sideload

so the use for this would be that i can control my desktop pc from my phone? can i transfer files and such?

On the desktop versions you can. Not sure about this beta though. Been waiting FOREVER for this though. I use TeamViewer almost exclusively, but I've been using LogMeIn cause they have an Android client. But screw them now!
Oh and btw jd1peters, AT&T has disabled that option from our phones. If you want to enable sideloading, search the forums for enabling non-market apps.
No need to root. Just download the apk and install with android sideload wonder machine.

@ OP, you're awesome for bringing this up. Been waiting for this forever 8)
edit: anybody else getting the error" connection failed because your partner's Teamviewer is too old. Version 6 or higher is required to connect." There isn't even a version 6 on the desktop client.
second edit: looks like they have the v6 beta for computer clients on their website.

Yeah, you can control your desktop from your phone. IMO Teamview is one of the fastest and easiest ways to connect two computers together, all you need is the client software installed. So much less of a headache than going through and setting up the numerous VNC programs available.
As a quick note, one really important setting on the Android side is whether to optimize for speed or quality. I think it defaults to automatic, but depending what you're trying to do, you may want to set it to be one way or the other to improve performance.
Hi guys,
I have been looking for an x server port for android since the day I bought my xoom.
Today I finally found something!
There is an application in the market called "Xvnc:X/X11 Server w VNC backnd"
I tried using it with connect bot but I keep getting the cannot open display message.
If anyone knows how to do it please share your knowledge.
Thanks in advance
When I was running Linux....
I always had to edit a file and I can't remember which file, but it wasn't the Xorg.conf. It was the file that had to do with the logon. I used KDE and it was the kde file for the logon manager, I'm pretty sure Gnome uses a similar file and even a barebones X session uses a file similar but for the life of me I can't remember what the file is.
I know that it is listed in the running services and the file in KDE was located in the file system under the kde apps area. Basically it is defaulted to not allow remote logons, but a change of the very evident line at the bottom of the config file makes the change. Sometimes you need to list which servers are allowed to connect, or which sub-networks are allowed.
Some Linux guru knows exactly which file it is and if you've been running remote X sessions it may already be set up right. But without being fresh on Linux, or knowing what system you are trying to log onto I'm sure someone else may be more help. Perhaps if you search the forum for you current flavor of Linux, (or macor whatever) for remote X connection you'll find some useful info.
I don't think the app in the market is what you want.
(You have been able to run Xvnc for ages on any android).
Framebuffer version of X (Or in an ideal world a rootless version - similar to how exceed etc works on Windows).
There is one on github but you have to compile it.
Thanks for your replies guys
@ unrandomsam
actually what I want to do is connect to university network and run x window applications through ssh just like we do on PCs.
If the one on github allows this can you please provide the name?
Thanks in advance
I've just release an open-source X server that might do what you want. It's available for free through the Android Market, details at my20percent.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/android-x-server/
Note that it's still in beta, and doesn't come with a window manager, although in theory you can run a window manager as a remote client.

Please can you also provide the binaries in your website? Or maybe you can attach the .apk here.
I want to test your app but I don't have access to the android market.
Trying to run XEmacs using X Server over ssh. X forwarding not happening
I have X Server and Connectbot installed. Connectbot works fine for sshing into a shell, either directly or when called from X Server however I can't run XEmacs in an X window. Xemacs looks like it's running in a Terminal which is what it does if there is no X Server. When doing this between Linux systems you would X forwarding from the .ssh/config file (ForwardX11 yes). How do you do this when using Connectbot?
I did a search and I can not seem to find the info I am looking for. I am somewhat new to Android as I mostly use iOS devices. On something such as an Ipad it is easy to loop all traffic through your computer and log it with Fiddler or various other debuggers, but when I do it with my Samsung Tab I do not see any data coming from the applications. You can only log the data being sent by the browser.
I am wondering if there is some special mode I must put it in or an app that allows you to log the data being sent and receieved by Android Apps. I did find an old thread talking about AndroShark, but it says the program no longer works. Is there a new alternative or something I am missing.. Anyway any imput would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time for your time
Do you mean using ADB to track what's going on under the hood?
What are you trying to track FROM the apps exactly? If you've written an app and want to see what's going on, the standard Android SDK and ADB debugging /should/ get you pointed in the right direction, I think.
i think onavo count might be what you looking for, it allows you to watch your data, and see what app is sending and receiving
Hi everyone,
I'm studying Java and Android Development and would like to be able to pick up where I've left off when going from laptop to desktop and back. For instance with note taking I use Evernote which keeps the notes in sync between the two. Is there a way to continuously sync code in projects in Android Studio between the two machines?
Thanks

I just thought about it, I guess it's possible to switch the storage location of Google drive. So may try that so that the location on each machine is exactly the same. I know the filepath differences can cause some issues but if I put them in a root folder with the same name on both machines that might work...
You may try with services like Dropbox or Google Drive, but I think the best option would be to use version control system like GIT. It will not automaticly sync your code, but it gives a great control of code, possibility to revert older versions etc. Also it's fully supported by Android Studio.
I just received a Samsung4 smartwatch and am looking for more apps not available on Google Play! Primarily Social Media apps and Facebook Messenger. LOL. That's where I chat from and those contacts are not in the other message apps - Google Android Messages, Samsung Messages (which is best to use?) I am here to learn how to download the apps listed on this site. I have some IT experience (IT Systems Technician for 16 years/IT Systems Analyst 2 years) but haven't tinkered with a smartwatch. I did brick a phone back in the day so I'm a little scared to mess with my brand-new watch! I did install the Moviebox APK (Kpanda?) on my smartphone, but it didn't require any other software. I already opened Developer Tools - ADB - Debug over WIFI (the IP starts with 10) From what I understand, I have to make changes in Device Manager for the phone, install APK software programs to my laptop (are these free or do I have to pay for it?), download the apps I want from your catalogue and install to the watch? I will watch the videos and follow along! And there is no risk of damaging my watch, like maybe I select something wrong and wipe it out or brick it?
Unfortunately, I don't have a correct IP address - Debug over WIFI shows 10.0.0.194, therefore, I cannot proceed with downloading APKs from Uptodown from either Bugjaeger or Easy Fire Tools. I am connected to Wi-Fi and not getting a 192. IP. There is no notification request sent to a device. When I click continue it says "Authorization Failed". Is there another setting I need to change?
Update: I figured it out. My old internet provider used to begin with 192 but this one starts with 10. Then when I click on the file that I want to install I have to click a prompt on the watch to allow it. All good!
Welcome to the XDA forums! Looks like you found the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 section!
Cheers
