Subject: Not Receiving Notification after Receiving File to PC
Message-ID: <CAODLbXKzSYDFZS0kRAqPRoAm=5Kzuxvu_cNW+1BEzhtCPFL2TQ@mail.gmail.com>

I am using windows 11 25h2, nvda 2026.1.1, KDEe.V.KDEConnect
version 26.402.6289.0, nokia 6.2, android 11, talk back 17.0.1.926549743
and kde connect 1.35.9. When I send a file from my computer to my mobile, I
receive notification after finishing transferring files. However, when I
send files from mobile to computer, I do not receive notification after
finishing transferring files. What should I do so that I receive
notification after finishing transferring files from mobile to computer?

Subject: KDE Connect on Linux - Android Tablet as Second Screen
Message-ID: <-p1Sk1PsRWuTOXA-gEAcNQ@btinternet.com>

I ask as I can't believe nobody has thought of this before: has anyone considered adding the facility to KDE Connect on Linux to connect to an Android tablet and use it as a second screen?  

I note that https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect says that a missing feature on Android is "Virtual Display".  Does this mean that someone's thought about it and there's a problem with implementing it?   

I know next to nothing about this sort of thing but might be prepared to give it a go if I thought there was the remotest chance of success.  

Thanks and regards

Peter

If you're able to review it, it would be helpful. A review of the code would be nice, but even just downloading the .apk from the pipeline, install it, give it a test run, and report on anything which worked well and anything which confused you or didn't work, would be helpful. 

Thanks, 
Simon

Hi Simon, 

Thank you for your email.  

It will be a steep learning curve (although I did do a fair amount of programming a few decades ago) but happy to give it a go.  What sort of timescales are you working to?  

Thanks and regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

Installing the app from the pipeline should be nearly zero learning. But 
unfortunately I've just noticed the CI doesn't build due to a missing 
dependency :(

Installing from source is not much learning, and described here: 
https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Android

There is no particular timeline. Reviewer bandwidth comes and goes. In 
the winter we're more reliable than in the summer, since there's less 
going on in our lives.

Thanks,
Simon
