Guest additions for Android

Post by vchtch »

Hi guys,
I'm running Android as a guest, and want to use host cursor in it, so when mouse input gets captured the cusror sill not disappear. Looking at guest additions, I see that I can change mouse capabilities (VMMDEV_MOUSE_GUEST_NEEDS_HOST_CURSOR) when I start Android. So, I guess, I need to write small guest addition that would send appropriate request to the host.
I've read and re-read the doc, but I still can't get it how can I write my own (standalone) guest addition app that would be separate from the whole guest additions installation enchilada. Is it possible at all? And if yes, what do I need to build such app?

TIA,

Vladimir
