Apps Link app with computer

[Mourgolikos]

It might be a silly question but I really need a guide on that one. I would like to link my app with a windows computer connected to it via USB.
Imagine something like a keystroke logger which stores the keystrokes typed in the computer to the application.
Is there a way to do so? What is the best approach?
I am trying to be as specific as possible. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mourgolikos,
If i understood correctly. If your computer has Bluetooth adapter connect it via bluetooth and use hyperterminal. You can find it on the web for win7 if not i could send you one. I used another phone to test my app but then did it with laptop and its better that hanging with 2 phones

I am sorry but I am quite new to the app development thingy are you suggesting to use the hyperterminal through the app to get whatever info I need from the computer? It might sound obvious to you but I got confused.
thanks for the reply

edit:
In the first place I thought I should use something like sockets to make this happen. i.e. creating a connection between phone and pc through a port. What am I missing here?

I am also new This is kind of newbies chat
I mean, what info do you need on your app from the pc. If you just need to type keyboard and want that these typed keys appear on the phone then yes you should connect via BT making it as a COM port.
If you need that to type keyboard and see on the phone i will try to find and guide you to connect everything. I spent few hours when made it. LOL

No, it would be nothing like that. I just gave a simple example. I would like my app to get network statistics from the computer. I am afraid though that this can only happen if there is a second program running on the computer itself...

For that reason i think yes. Another program should collect all data needed and transfer it to phone. Maybe later there will be more experienced people to help you out.
