  • one more thing i want to do this through service not from an activity – Ahmed Apr 01 '12 at 14:22

  • I am developing Bluetooth HID driver for mouse . What i have done so far is establish a Bluetooth connection between Bluetooth mouse and android phone . For i have use intent service for establish connection . Now this service is broadcasting mouse key events and x,y values . IME service which i have created has broadcast receiver , now from here i want to simulated the mouse movements through motion event . So when user press left click on mouse , on android screen it select the respective object , that is why i want to simulate action down etc events . – Ahmed Apr 01 '12 at 14:36

    I'm afraid, that may not be possible due to security restrictions as per [this discussion](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5240821/165674). Perhaps if your app is signed with the System certificate, I guess you MAY be able to accomplish it somehow. – Dheeraj Vepakomma Apr 01 '12 at 14:51
  • you are saying that i need to have root permissions for this ? – Ahmed Apr 01 '12 at 15:06
  • i have no idea regarding system certificate . – Ahmed Apr 01 '12 at 15:08
