Hi,
I have a SM-T580 and i'd like to connect it to my video-projector (it's a basic projector with hdmi/mhl connections).
My goal is to do some android application demonstrations.
I know that it doesn't support MHL so i can't buy a simple micro usb to hdmi cable. And after reading a lot of things on the internet i'm getting a little lost.
There a similar question here but it's for smart TVs https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/samsung-galaxy-tab-support-screen-t3177088
For the moment i think the best choice would be to buy a miracast or a chromecast but do some of you already have a similar setup ? because i don't really wan't to buy it if i'm not sure that's it compatible with my tab A. And what do you recommend between miracast and chromecast.
If i missed some possible solutions i'd love to know them.
Regards,

Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you know if it's possible to hook up to a networked projector and if so, how?
It has it's own ip address but do I have to install the software which if course would not be compatible with android.
The other thing is that the projector is hanging from the ceiling so hooking up an hdmi cable is out of the question.
Thanks
Option for your projector
I use a HP hdmi to vga adapter (about $30 US) for powerpoint presentations and it works great. If your network projector has vga input, that is a pretty easy way to go with no software to install.
thanks for the reply, but as I said the projector is up at the ceiling. I would need a long cord for it. We have it on the network to make it easier to hook up to.
I don't think it would be possible this way but I figured I would ask.
From what I understand, Miracast support is off the table due to the wifi hardware on the current gen of nexus tablets. With that said, do we expect to ever get screen mirroring support through WiDi, the pogo connections or the micro usb port?
I know that these guys, http://esrlabs.com/ , had created a custom rom for the n7 and raspberry pi such that the n7 could screen cast and the pi would recieve. However, I reached out to the developer and understand that work has ceased since Miracast was announced.
If the consensus is that this capability will not come to CM/AOKP in the near future, then I'd like to sell my n7 and get a tablet that does or will support mirroring (i'm willing to invest on hardware on the reciever side - but between the tv, xbox, cable stb and raspberry pi I'm finding that my home theater receiver is running out of spare hdmi inputs /firstworldproblems ). I do not want to invest in a 1 off product that is not a standard, like a MirrorOp receiver.
So what are your thoughts? Is something coming to the N7? If not, what hardware and software should I get instead?
Hello everyone,
I am attempting to set up a Tronsmart MK908II TV dongle as a portable sandbox and web development environment. For my first attempt I'm using the stock ROM and apps from the app store such as Bit Web Server and Terminal IDE. I've had a fair amount of success, though very tempted to install Pi****u (Ubuntu) for a more powerful environment.
One of my main objectives have a miniature HD monitor so I can have direct access to the device if necessary even when I'm on the go. Before I go out and buy a suitable device for this, I'm trying to get my Nexus 7 to act as the display, since I will always have it with me and it's the perfect size. I believe I may have all the necessary cables and converters to make something like this possible... I'm just a bit stuck at the moment on getting it all to work as I want and I suspect its a software/config/capabilities limitation more than a physical one. I have already attempted this a couple of different ways, including using a USB cable from the dongle and an OTG converter for my Nexus 7, but could not get the Android USB Serial Monitor Lite app to recognize input from the dongle.
Does anyone know of any tools or knowledge that might help me achieve this? I can probably find an app that will allow me to remote control my dongle from my Nexus, which is plan B, but it's far less desirable since there are some circumstances that a purely software solution might not work from the dongle end.
Thank you for your time!

Hello people. I have a question regarding connecting a usb dongle to a tablet. I'm not a developer and I'm not a hardware expert either so easy with the terms. :laugh:
I saw a thread where Bhaskar1109 explained how to connect a dongle to any Android tablet but it required root access and that's not something that everyone can manage.
So the question is; is it possible to set up a specific dongle model in cooperation with a specifically designed Android app to get it working without any fuss?
I would really appreciate your replies.
Thanks,
Rob
It may depend on your tablet. I've got a tab 2 and I can just plug the dongle in and go.
Any chance to use an USB DVB-T DONGLE with NEXUS PLAYER?
Maybe. You want "TV" on your Set top box ?
Software is the tricky part. Does this work ? : http://www.geniatech.com/pa/pt115m.asp
I recall a decent thread here on XDA somewhere but can't find it right now and seem to recall the app wasn't going anywhere too fast.
And there's at least one 3 star app on Play, but doesn't work for many people.
I'll be happy just to get FM radio, with SDR Touch or whatever...
thanks, can be a thing like that but I want to use any usb dongle that I want and not a single choose like that.
For example I'v build for my daily use, a mini barebone with a small debian distro with VDR, in this way I can play divx and dvb-t as I want but, if my dongle usb dvb-t for any reason broke........I can buy the first dongle usb that I found on any market online, compile kernel module for that dongle and put in usb port it, it's so simple.......
I love nexus player, 99$ about, remote control, android marke, playing game, youtube, and more infinite possibility, but at TV DVB side I want be free to use any usb dongle DVB for desktop pc as I made today
There's any chance to get, nexus player kernel, enable DVB module for dongle, put inside usb port of nexus player, and watch tv?
At software side, is need an app or Android TV S.O. is capable to manage DVB correctly?
Thanks in advance!
Do you have any other Android devices? If you're already comfortable recompiling a kernel to support your hardware, I'd suggest trying that on a different Android device first. Then you would know if the Android framework could handle such a device.
EDIT: Here's a link to the Android TV developer site about supporting live TV in Android TV. It appears it's designed around that being possible, so if you can add your tuner hardware support to the kernel I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to make it work within Android.
ok tnx
