Scrcpy v1.20

Using it for app development. Better performance than android emulators, and better workflow if you place the copied screen side-to-side to your IDE.

This is fantastic. It's so smooth. I've been looking for something like this for a while.

It didn't register my mouse and keyboard inputs at first. It worked after I enabled "Allow granting permissions and simulating input via USB debugging" option on my phone.

Great piece of software. Used it a couple months ago when I wanted to keep eyes on an app, but didn't want to keep looking down at my phone. Worked flawlessly.

I do a fair amount of physical unplugging and replugging of Android devices over USB while debugging. I used to get occasional hangs when doing that, so I run scrcpy thusly in a bash wrapper script on Linux hosts:

  #!/bin/bash
  # Update: January 2, 2021
  #
  # script to permit an end user to mirror an android device's GUI
  # on a Linux GUI desktop in a window of its own with
  # mouse and keyboard interactivity
  #
  # Prerequisites:
  #
  #  android device with adb debugging enabled
  #  adb (i.e. android-tools-adb)
  #  scrcpy (android screen mirror tool)
  #  USB connection between Android phone and Linux machine
  #
  # Setup:
  #
  # Log in as root and do the following:
  #
  # 1. use visudo to create or edit the file /etc/sudoers.d/adbmount 
  #    with the following entries (use suitable paths to
  #    the binaries) to authorize the end user for fuser
  #    and adb use:
  #
  # %users ALL=(myth) NOPASSWD: /bin/fuser
  # %users ALL=(myth) NOPASSWD: /bin/adb
  #
  # 2. create a new group or add an entry in /etc/group
  #    for "plugdev" with the end user as member, such as:
  #
  # plugdev:x:46:mythical
  #
  # 3. connect the android device to the Linux machine via
  #    a USB cable and use the lsusb command to get the
  #    android device's identifying info, such as:
  #
  # Bus 001 Device 012: ID 18d1:XXXX Google Inc.
  #
  # 4. create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-adbmount.rules
  #    with the following line, using the id from step 3:
  #
  #  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="XXXX", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
  #
  # 5. run the following command to load the new rules so
  #    that udev will now allow members of group "plugdev"
  #    to access the android device:
  #
  # udevadm control --reload-rules
  #
  # 6. test this script as the specified end user instead
  #    of as root
  
  # first kill any hanging adb tcp port 27183:
  
  sudo /bin/fuser -k -n tcp 27183 2>/dev/null 
  
  # force any running adb server process to stop:

  sudo /bin/adb kill-server 2>/dev/null

  # force the adb server to start and scan USB bus:

  sudo /bin/adb devices

  # start the scrpy app:

  /bin/scrcpy

It would be useful to hook on the frame-received event and send to an hosted webrtc page, so that you can share your tablet screen instantly to co-workers. Anyone tried a similar setup?

Great upgrade. But sadly, the HID keyboard supports only Linux for now.

The unicode support when injecting through keyboard is also pending for years. Looking forward to getting support from other PR.

this works over wifi for those wondering
