Help Unlock without touchscreen. Mouse not recognised. xperia z3+

Help!
I have cracked by phone screen and touch input no longer works. How do I unlock my phone or otherwise access it's juicy contents?

Specifics:
The phone: Xperia z3+ with swipe pattern unlock.
I think the software should be android 7.1 or thereabouts.
The phone isn't rooted, and I don't remember changing any USB debugging settings.

Failed solutions:
Smart unlock devices/networks (none registered)
Voice unlock (not active)
Previously paired bluetooth keyboard (connects but has no way to input the swipe pattern)
USB OTG and (optical) mouse. (mouse doesn't turn on or allow input, though this method worked for another android in the house)

Any ideas? In particular, I wonder if anyone knows a way to get the mouse working or can clarify whether the z3+ even supports the mouse like the previous xperias did.

sound and mic doesn't work

Hi everyone, i need a little help, so back in 2016 i got a samsung galaxy note 3 and it was already rooted when i got it bc i bought it from a friend, everything is was okay, until one day i started messing up with it, so i went online looking on how to boost my sound with headphones and so like i tried to follow a tutorial walking me thru on how to go to some folder within the phone system i don't know what it really was tbh because i clearly don't know anything about it i remember it being within the root folder an archives and like i remember it was this paragraph of numbers and letters and commands and it was extremely long and i had to scroll down all the way down and i had to like delete a certain word or like command and type something else so i did and like i kept following the tutorial and it said i had to restart my phone so i did and ever since then i stopped working, shortly after that i had to get a new phone but i recently went to my parents house getting some stuff and i found it sitting there getting dust and like its fully funcional and i find no answers online about it, also this was like 4 years ago and i don't really remember what i did, can someone help me figure this out? also im trying to update the software because its at 5.0.2 lollipop

Google Photos Lock Screen

I love the "Photo Frames" option in Google Photos, and how paired with your Chromecast you can turn your TV into your largest picture frame in the house. Me and my family use it on a daily basis.

What would also be great, was if the same type of feature could be applied to your phone's lock screen.
Allow the user to select what album/albums it would pick the photos from and select the manner in which the picture would change (ex. Every time screen powers on, Every Day, Every Hour etc.)
That would be a Game Changer

Power users, especially Linux: great file manager(s)?

I've tried more file managers than I can even recall. NONE--other than the now off-limits ES--provided all the features I want.

So I thought I'd ask for suggestions. If any of the following is unfamiliar to you, you might want to move on. :)

I need [* or very strongly want]:

- full network access, including external drives

- case sensitivity

- * ability to view Android system [without being rooted]

- cloud access

- * no-confirmation-needed delete option

- delete means delete

- ability to generate APKs from installed apps

- tabs or sidebar entries for multiple locations open at the same time [I prefer sidebar]

- * persistent connections to network drives

- * ability to change multiple view options at once, i.e., 'grid/list/detailed' and 'sort by' and 'image preview size' and...


I'd like to have:

- user-changeable icons [not to be confused with icon sets]

- silent completion of tasks, such as moving directories [when successful; I only need to hear about it if something fails]

- file preview sizes large enough for these old eyes to see easily


Basically, just think Linux. That's what I want--intelligent, uniformly predictable, logical, silent operation. Of course, no ads. Price is not a concern--functionality is.

PS I know someone will ask, 'why don't you list the ones you've tried?' Because I don't remember them all! And I'd rather not find, copy and paste a million entries from my Play purchase history. Plus, since none has had all the features I want, they shouldn't be among those recommended. So there's no point listing them.

Android Studio wizard generates code with obsolete calls?

Hello,

I used the Android Studio to generate an app with a Login activity.

One thing called my attention.

One line of code is:

loginViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, new LoginViewModelFactory())
.get(LoginViewModel.class);

Android Studio shows ViewModelProviders.of as Deprecated. Why is that? why last version of Android Studio generates deprecated code? isn't it supposed that Android Studio should generate code following best practices? best practices include code that is not obsolete.

Searching in Internet, I have found it can be replaced with:

loginViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(LoginViewModel::class.java)

That is, can I remove LoginViewModelFactory class? Shouldn't I use wizards as a starting point of the application?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

App interface different in Android Studio and Emulator

Hi,

An Android App development beginner here. I created a simple app which converts KMs to Miles and vice versa. Issue seems to be with the interface. The interface for activity_main.xml is as below:

But once I emulate it on an Nexus 6 API 29 emulator, it looks weird and doesn't work properly. Tried it on a Nexus 5 emulator as well, same issue. Here's a screenshot:

Moreover, when I tried installing the apk file on my Samsung Note 8, it doesn't install, even after changing the settings and allowing unknown apps to be installed. Please help.

Insert data in a FIrebase database in another Firebase database using Java

In the first image (DB1.jpg), I want the children under the nodes - "19042020111313" & "19042020111506" - which are under the nodes "Cart List-->Admin View-->1122-->Products" to be inserted in the node "19042020185310" under the node "Shipment" which is the second image (DB2.jpg). How do I do it? Please note that I don't want the nodes "19042020111313" & "19042020111506" (in the first image) to be inserted in the node "Shipment" (in the second image).

Thanks
