Adb Key Monkey - Tool for control android device via PC keyboard

This tool works like you connect a physical keyboard to your android device directly but with some limitations. For more information, you can go directly to github.com. Here I will share all the steps I have done to make this tool work well with my own android device.

Adb Key Monkey

My PC
. OS: Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch) x86_64
. Kernel: 4.9.0-5-amd64

My Smartphone
. Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro
. OS: Android 5.1 (Lollipop)

Download
. AdbKeyMonkey-1.0.4.jar

The steps
. enable USB debugging on smartphone.
. plug the usb data cable into pc-smartphone.
. it will not connect to tool, if usb debugging result like following:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
e247ec6f7d03 no permissions (verify udev rules); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]

. in order to connect properly should be as follows:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
e247ec6f7d03 device

. first try running this app, it is not running and an error appears:

. after reading the JavaFX on Linux is showing a “Graphics Device initialization failed for : es2, sw” , there is the possibility of error appear because there is a package that has not been installed, then try to install the following but still not solved:

$ sudo apt install  libswt-gtk-3-java

$ sudo apt install libgtk2.0-bin libxtst6 libxslt1.1

. the error was fixed after installation:

$ sudo apt install openjfx

. it might happen because i use openjdk (not jdk from oracle)

$ java -version                   
openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-1~deb9u1-b12)
