i heard that android can connect a remote computer by using IP address of the PC. How is it done? thanks

Just the same as any remote connection (e.g by the web browser), it is done by using network sockets. See java.net | Android Developers[^] for details.

I am looking for a command-utility that will tell me if a particular device is connected to the home network. (TV and Home Theatre in particular). These devices are not responding to a Ping, so that does not help. NMap does not find them either (not sure why), even with its most intense scan. Fing finds them OK, but only seems to be available in with a GUI, and I need to be able to capture the response in Tasker. They do also appear on my routers' "Attached Devices" pages.
Note that my programming skills have deteriorated significantly over recent months due to my brain injury, so I am unable to write anything from scratch (Its taken me 5 days to even set up tasker to a point that would have taken me 2 hours a couple of years ago).
If anyone is able to help, it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mick

Try net view, but I don't know if that is available in Android.

Thanks Richard - I'll take a look at that one when I wake up in the morning, and let you know how it goes.

No - not android.  It looks like it might have to be the Fing API and write one. Wish me luck. I hope I still have that much skill (not confident though).
Cheers,

Yes, for Android. The device I am using is a slightly older (but not too old) phone, which I have rooted and loaded Tasker and a Terminal Emulator on. It makes the thing like a cut-down Linux (which Android is based on, anyway). Tasker will happily run a Shell command, and capture both the stdout and stderr streams for me.

This is the Tasker app that I use, but for completely different reasons. Is there another one out there?

That's the one - it can be an incredibly powerful tool, particularly when given superuser privileges. When creating an action, take a look at the "Code" option, and you will see "Shell Command". I also have a plugin for it (RM Plugin - designed primarily to control the RM series of IR blasters) that has a built-in mini server that will execute tasks when it receives a URL. That means I can utilise IFTTT to control just about anything.
But it does not solve my problem - the IR remotes for the TV and the Home Theatre is just a power toggle, not separate On and Off. So I need to know if the device is already on or not so that when I say "Turn on the TV", it doesn't just send the signal and actually turn it off. Detecting its existence (or not) on the network will answer that question, so Tasker can decide whether or not to send the IR signal.

Mick

Have you considered asking here on how to capture the output of a shell command?

I can already do that - what I need is the command that will get the info for me.

As you previously indicated PING would not work, how about TRACERT?

That was a good suggestion. TRACERT is Windows, but a bit of research gave me traceroute, which is the Linux equivalent. I needed BusyBox on the android device to get that command, and it works fine for the TV. However, for the Home Theatre, it finds it whether it is turned on or not. Very close, but note quite time for the cigar yet.
I have a support request in with Fing - that seems to be the only program that is giving me the right answers - to see if there is any way of capturing its output. They do have an API available, and its not expensive - but I am concerned I no longer have the skills to use it to write the utility.
Cheers,
Mick

Previously, the moment I connected my Android to my PC with a USB cable, Windows Explorer recognized him and gave me access to just about any folder in the phone.
That has stopped happening now.
I connect via USB cable, Windows Explorer does see the Android phone, but I cannot access any of the folders on the Android.
Suggestions are welcome, thank you

Which Android Emulator can run on Windows 7? Do you have a link to download?
I need Emulator for smartphone, not for tablet.
Thank You!!!

I use both Eclipse and Visual Studio for Android development on Win7. They both come with an emulator. What IDE are you using?

Android Studio includes all the tools you need, including the emulator.

Hello everybody! I have a problem and I couldn't find a good answer anywhere.
Let's say we have a WPF application written in C# running on a PC coupled to an Android phone via USB cable. The application must instruct some app on the phone to start and take a picture with the camera, process the picture in some way and send some text data back to the PC application (or maybe even the whole picture) How do you do this?
One more thing: it must be done via USB so I'm not interested in answers related to WiFi or Web services or stuff like that.
Thank you!

Most likely by writing quite a lot of code. For a start you need an app on the mobile that listens for messages from the PC. It must then use the camera to take whatever pictures you require, and send them back to the PC. Google will find you resources on USB communication between Android and PC, and the Android app itself. See also Android articles[^].
