Deskdrawer

Deskdrawer is a mobile markerboard app. You draw on your tablet, and the result displays on a computer monitor or projector.

CAVEAT EMPTOR
Note that Deskdrawer mirrors only its drawing canvas -- not any other app!

BACKGROUND
Problem: I wanted to record my drawings and hand-drawn derivations on my Android tablet. However, no tools that I could find recorded an Android display at a reasonable speed. Solution: I wrote Deskdrawer to provide a drawing surface that I could mirror on my desktop or notebook computer, where I can record.

SETUP
To make Deskdrawer work, you need to do several things: install the app on your device, and install the Android SDK and Deskdrawer client on your desktop or notebook computer. See http://www.twodee.org/deskdrawer for detailed instructions. The device must remain plugged in to mirror.

The app opens up an Internet connection on a certain port (default 33009). The client utility on your regular computer invokes the SDK platform tools to forward communication over this port back to your computer. The Internet permission is requested to make this communication possible.
