How to make the android touchscreen work with a mouse?

Question

Mouse

Good day. Tell me an application or a simple way to get a mouse pointer on an android tablet, as it is done on windows tablets. On my Windows tablet running windows tablet edition xp, the mouse pointer moves in sync with the sliding point of contact with the touchscreen, pressing the mouse buttons is registered by a light touch on the pointer area, the left mouse button is a long touch on the touchscreen. In android, if you connect a hardware mouse, everything is about the same as on windows. How, help, to make the android touchscreen behave like an external usb mouse?

In general, a similar question hangs on StackExchange, alas, without a clear answer: android.stackexchange.com/questions/37769/on-scree...
If you tell us more about the required use case, maybe together with the community it will be possible to find another workaround to solve it

Answer 2

You know, it's strange that so few people have such a need. Even on my windows mobile 6.1 there was such an application that gave a full-fledged mouse (mouse cursor) to a smartphone, which, of course, was controlled by a touchscreen. On w3bsit3-dns.com, people also do not really know how to be, and on it, I raised this issue. You didn't ask me for a link, but if you're interested, I'll post it. so.
Here's the case. There is a powerful AINOL tablet with HDMI and with a non-working display backlight, but a working script. There is a chic lsd samsung to which the tablet is connected and broadcasts (or rather, broadcast as an experiment) webtv. Samsung is early, NOT smart, but nuts)
There are elderly parents who are fine with windows on the desktop, but who do not want any additional remotes, even with gyroscopes.
Previously and now, a simple TV box with its own, complete remote control is connected to the Samsung. to the TV box, a 2.4 GHz mouse was also connected, and. And, all this lies, because, it turns out a whole technopark of 2 remotes (from Samsung and from TVbox) and one mouse.
With a TV box remote, you can highlight selected objects on the screen, but myopia makes you look at which object has focus. An external mouse saves, but she needs to crawl about something. As a result, for any "let's get married" serviceable GS700 is used, and everything else is unplugged.
In cases of "watching on the big screen", a desktop is used, and parents are quite happy to start an online broadcast and lie down with a book in their hands in the background. And again, both the Samsung and the TV box are de-energized.
Tension with money. It would be wonderful and desirable to have a mouse pointer on AINOL, non-switchable, visible, controlled from its own touchscreen (in fact, it turns out to be a touchpad, or TRACKpad), with all the advantages of a regular, screen mouse, such as, for example, the pointer remains where it was "abandoned", long tap = RMB, quick double tap = LMB. in general, a touchscreen in touchpad / trackpad mode. After all, on windows tablets, on those on which windows xp-w7 (I haven’t seen it on others), everything is exactly like that.
The conditions are such that additional costs are not yet possible. Those. I cannot buy, for example, a usb touchpad. Namely, a usb touchpad/usb trackpad would ideally fit into an existing android tvbox. But the tablet is more powerful in all respects, and the tablet already has a hid device, but how to bring it to mind ... Pampering in developer mode with the "show touches" and "show coordinates" parameters is not right or wrong. The cursor is invisible until the moment of touch, and it is not known on what and where it is when there is no touch of the screen touch.
