Describe the feature

Add support for Samsung DeX / external display mode.

When Klick'r is opened while Samsung DeX is running, the overlay, scenario controls, and click actions should be available on the DeX external display, not only on the phone screen.

Ideally, Klick'r should detect when an external display / desktop mode is active and allow the user to choose which display to control:

  • Phone display
  • Samsung DeX / external display

The overlay and controls should appear on the selected display, and scenarios should use the coordinates of that display.

Describe the usage

Samsung DeX lets Android apps run on an external monitor in a desktop-like environment:

A concrete use case is using Klick'r with apps that are running on the DeX external display. For example, a user may want to create and run a scenario for repeated clicks in an Android app opened on the DeX desktop.

Currently, Klick'r opens, but the overlay appears on the phone screen and the click actions only work on the phone display. This makes it difficult or impossible to use Klick'r with apps running on the DeX monitor.

Expected usage:

  1. Connect a Samsung phone to Samsung DeX.
  2. Open an Android app on the DeX external display.
  3. Open Klick'r.
  4. Select the DeX / external display as the target display.
  5. Create a scenario using coordinates on the DeX display.
  6. Run the scenario and have Klick'r perform the actions on the DeX display.
