Hi Guys,

Good news here :D

I've managed to write a MousePad plugin for both kdeconnect-kde and
kdeconnect-android, and it is working quite well, Also I've handled the
single and double tapping on the phone and sent them to KDE using
Aleix's suggestion XTest( Thanks a lot for the help).
I think we can say now that we have a basic wireless mouse on an Android
phone that works with KDE.

The question now, How is the review process going to proceed ? I understand
that the review board is working for Qt code, but is it possible to post a
Java Android review request on it ?

Cheers
