The video screen size on the client may differ from the real device
screen size (e.g. the video stream may be scaled down). As a
consequence, mouse events must be scaled to match the real device
coordinates.
For this purpose, make the client send the video screen size along with
the absolute pointer location, and the server scale the location to
match the real device size before injecting mouse events.
Currently, we only use screen information (width, height, rotation)
once at initialization, to send the device size to the client.
To be able to scale mouse events, make it accessible in memory. For this
purpose, replace the "static" DeviceUtil to a singleton Device, and
update it on every screen rotation.
To control the device from the computer:
- retrieve mouse and keyboard SDL events;
- convert them to Android events;
- serialize them;
- send them on the same socket used by the video stream (but in the
opposite direction);
- deserialize the events on the Android side;
- inject them using the InputManager.
Move the DeviceUtil internal static classes to public classes, in a
separate package (".wrappers").
This paves the way to implement InputManager properly.
