| <h3>2. Activities & Fragments – Complete Behaviour</h3> | |
| <h4>2.1 OnboardingActivity (<code>OnboardingActivity.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> A one‑time welcome screen shown at first launch (or every launch if desired).</li> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>App Name</code> (Air Mouse Pro) and a brief tagline.</li> | |
| <li>A large “Get Started” button.</li> | |
| <li>Optional illustration (static image).</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>On click → starts <code>MainActivity</code> and finishes itself.</li> | |
| <li>Optionally sets a <code>SharedPreferences</code> flag to skip onboarding next time.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>2.2 MainActivity (<code>MainActivity.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Main container with bottom navigation for four main screens.</li> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>BottomNavigationView</code> with four items: <strong>Home</strong>, <strong>Profiles</strong>, <strong>Voice</strong>, <strong>Log</strong>.</li> | |
| <li>A <code>FragmentContainerView</code> (or <code>FrameLayout</code>) that hosts the selected fragment.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Loads <code>HomeFragment</code> as default.</li> | |
| <li>Handles tab selection using <code>Navigation</code> component or manual fragment transactions.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>2.3 HomeFragment (<code>HomeFragment.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <p>The core control screen. It is the most complex fragment.</p> | |
| <p><strong>UI Components:</strong> | |
| - <strong>Server Address Input:</strong> | |
| - <code>EditText</code> for IP address (input type <code>phone</code>). | |
| - <code>EditText</code> for port (input type <code>number</code>). | |
| - <code>ImageButton</code> (QR scan icon) – launches the QR scanner. | |
| - <code>Button</code> “Connect” / “Disconnect” (changes state). | |
| - <strong>Connection Status Indicator:</strong> | |
| - A coloured dot (green = connected, red = disconnected) and text label. | |
| - <strong>Calibration Button:</strong> | |
| - <code>Button</code> “Calibrate Sensors” → opens <code>CalibrationActivity</code>. | |
| - <strong>Mouse Control Area (visual feedback):</strong> | |
| - A small <code>View</code> (or <code>Canvas</code>) that shows a moving dot proportional to the phone’s tilt (optional but nice). | |
| - <strong>Sensitivity Slider:</strong> | |
| - <code>SeekBar</code> (0.2x to 2.0x) with a label showing current value. | |
| - <strong>Live Log Section:</strong> | |
| - A small <code>RecyclerView</code> or <code>ScrollView</code> with <code>TextView</code> displaying the last ~20 log entries (compact). A “View Full Log” button opens <code>ServerLogFragment</code>.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Behavior & Processes:</strong> | |
| 1. <strong>Initialisation:</strong> | |
| - Restore last‑used IP/port from <code>PreferencesManager</code>. | |
| - Register sensor listeners when view is created (or when connected). | |
| 2. <strong>Connection:</strong> | |
| - Validates IP/port using <code>ValidationUtils</code>. | |
| - Calls <code>DataSender.getInstance(ip, port, prefs)?.start()</code>. | |
| - The <code>DataSender</code> will create a TCP socket and start the ACK listener. | |
| - Connection status is observed via a callback that updates the UI. | |
| 3. <strong>QR Scanning:</strong> | |
| - Launches <code>com.journeyapps.barcodescanner.CaptureActivity</code> with an intent. | |
| - On result, extracts the URL (<code>airmouse://IP:port</code>) and auto‑fills IP/port fields. | |
| 4. <strong>Sensor Processing (while connected):</strong> | |
| - When a <code>DataSender</code> is active, the fragment registers gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer listeners (if not already registered) at <code>SENSOR_DELAY_GAME</code>. | |
| - In <code>onSensorChanged</code>, it collects raw values, applies calibration from <code>CalibrationManager</code>, feeds them into <code>SensorFusion.update(...)</code>. | |
| - The fused orientation (e.g., Euler angles) is passed to <code>GestureDetector</code> which computes <code>dx</code>, <code>dy</code>, and whether a click/scroll gesture occurred. | |
| - Movement: <code>dataSender.sendMove(dx, dy)</code> – called on every sensor event (throttled to max ~50 Hz). | |
| - Click/scroll: <code>dataSender.sendClick()</code>, <code>sendScroll(delta)</code> – called only when a gesture is detected. | |
| 5. <strong>Logging:</strong> | |
| - Every action (connection, gesture, error) is sent to <code>LogManager.add()</code>. | |
| - The fragment observes <code>LogManager.logEntries</code> and updates its mini log view.</p> | |
| <h4>2.4 ProfilesFragment (<code>ProfilesFragment.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Save and quickly switch between multiple server profiles (IP:port combinations).</li> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li>A <code>RecyclerView</code> listing saved profiles.</li> | |
| <li>Each row has a name (optional), IP:port, and a “Connect” button.</li> | |
| <li>A “Add Profile” <code>FloatingActionButton</code> or button at top.</li> | |
| <li>Dialog for entering profile name, IP, port.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Stores profiles in <code>SharedPreferences</code> as a JSON array.</li> | |
| <li>Selecting a profile auto‑fills the HomeFragment fields and optionally connects.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>2.5 VoiceCommandFragment (<code>VoiceCommandFragment.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Optional experimental voice control (not required but present).</li> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong> A <code>TextView</code> displaying recognized speech and a microphone button.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong> Uses <code>SpeechRecognizer</code> to convert speech to text, then parses commands like “click”, “scroll up”. Sends commands via <code>DataSender</code>. (Can be stubbed out – it’s a bonus.)</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>2.6 ServerLogFragment (<code>ServerLogFragment.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Full‑screen view of the in‑app log, with filtering and export.</li> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li>A <code>RecyclerView</code> displaying all <code>LogEntry</code> items (timestamp, message, level).</li> | |
| <li>Search field at top.</li> | |
| <li>Checkboxes to filter by level (Info, Warning, Error).</li> | |
| <li>“Export” button – saves log to a file using <code>Storage Access Framework</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Observes the same <code>LogManager.logEntries</code> LiveData.</li> | |
| <li>The <code>LogManager</code> is a singleton that stores a <code>LinkedList</code> of log entries with a maximum capacity (e.g., 1000).</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>3. Calibration System – Detailed Breakdown</h3> | |
| <h4>3.1 CalibrationActivity (<code>CalibrationActivity.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Hosts a three‑tab calibration wizard.</li> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>TabLayout</code> with three tabs: Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Magnetometer.</li> | |
| <li><code>ViewPager2</code> that swipes between the corresponding fragments.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong> Instantiates <code>CalibrationPagerAdapter</code> and attaches it.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>3.2 CalibrationPagerAdapter (<code>CalibrationPagerAdapter.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Extends <code>FragmentStateAdapter</code> for <code>ViewPager2</code>.</li> | |
| <li>Creates the three fragments on demand.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>3.3 GyroCalibrationFragment</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>ImageView</code> showing a static phone on a table (<code>ic_phone</code>).</li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> instruction: “Place the phone on a flat surface and keep it still.”</li> | |
| <li><code>ProgressBar</code> (horizontal) to show collection progress.</li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> status (“Ready”, “Collecting… 50/100”).</li> | |
| <li><code>Button</code> “Start Collection”.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>On “Start”, registers <code>Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE</code> listener at fastest rate.</li> | |
| <li>Collects 100 samples (FloatArrays of size 3) in a background list.</li> | |
| <li>After reaching 100, computes mean for each axis → bias.</li> | |
| <li>Saves bias via <code>CalibrationManager.saveGyroBias(bias)</code>.</li> | |
| <li>Updates UI to show success.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>3.4 AccelCalibrationFragment (with animations)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> “Step 1 of 6”.</li> | |
| <li><code>ImageView</code> that displays the phone vector (initial rotation 0°).</li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> instruction describing the required orientation.</li> | |
| <li><code>ProgressBar</code> (horizontal) for sample collection.</li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> status.</li> | |
| <li><code>Button</code> “Record Position”.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Animation:</strong></li> | |
| <li>The phone image is a vector drawable (<code>ic_phone.xml</code>) placed inside the <code>ImageView</code>.</li> | |
| <li>When the step changes, the fragment loads an <code>AnimatedVectorDrawable</code> that smoothly rotates the phone to the target orientation. For example, <code>avd_phone_flat_to_vertical.xml</code> rotates the <code>phone_group</code> from 0° to -90° (screen facing user, top edge up) over 600ms.</li> | |
| <li>There are six such AVDs (or the fragment can directly animate the <code>rotation</code> property using <code>ObjectAnimator</code> – we chose AVD for XML purity).</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>The fragment holds a list of six <code>Position</code> objects, each with a description, target rotation (rotationX/rotationY), and the AVD resource to play.</li> | |
| <li>User taps “Record Position” → starts collecting 100 accelerometer samples.</li> | |
| <li>After collection, the mean is stored in a temporary list.</li> | |
| <li>The fragment then advances to the next position, plays the AVD, and updates instructions.</li> | |
| <li>After the 6th position, it calculates offset and scale using the six means and saves via <code>CalibrationManager.saveAccCalibration(offset, scale)</code>.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>3.5 MagCalibrationFragment</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>UI:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> instruction: “Move the phone in a large figure‑8 pattern.”</li> | |
| <li><code>ProgressBar</code> that fills automatically (200 samples).</li> | |
| <li><code>TextView</code> status.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>When the fragment becomes visible, it registers <code>Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD</code> listener.</li> | |
| <li>Collects 200 samples (the progress bar updates as samples come).</li> | |
| <li>After collection, finds min/max per axis, computes hard‑iron offset and soft‑iron scale.</li> | |
| <li>Saves via <code>CalibrationManager.saveMagCalibration(offset, scale)</code>.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>4. Sensor Fusion & Gesture Processing</h3> | |
| <h4>4.1 SensorFusion (<code>SensorFusion.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <p>Implements the Madgwick AHRS algorithm.</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Input:</strong> <code>float[] gyro</code> (rad/s), <code>float[] accel</code> (m/s²), <code>float[] mag</code> (µT), <code>float samplePeriod</code> (seconds).</li> | |
| <li><strong>Output:</strong> <code>float[] q</code> (quaternion, size 4). Optionally converts to Euler angles.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Algorithm:</strong> Gradient‑descent correction of gyroscope‑integrated quaternion using accelerometer and magnetometer measurements. Uses a constant <code>beta</code> (default 0.041) for the correction strength.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Optimisation:</strong> The algorithm is implemented inline without object allocation; it uses local variables and static arrays to avoid GC overhead.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>4.2 GestureDetector (<code>GestureDetector.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <p>Converts the fused orientation into mouse commands.</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Coordinate mapping:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Horizontal movement (dx) is proportional to the phone’s rotation around the Z‑axis (yaw) or the tilt around the X‑axis (roll), depending on phone orientation. The exercise specifies:<ul> | |
| <li>Rotation around Z → horizontal cursor movement.</li> | |
| <li>Rotation around X → vertical cursor movement.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li>The mapping gain is multiplied by the user‑set sensitivity (from <code>HomeFragment</code> slider), which ranges 0.2–2.0. The final <code>dx</code>/<code>dy</code> values are scaled and then clamped to ±50 to avoid huge jumps.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Click detection (left click):</strong></li> | |
| <li>Monitors angular velocity around the Y‑axis (the phone’s vertical axis when held naturally). If the absolute angular rate exceeds a threshold (e.g., 30°/s) and the direction is a quick rotation to the left, a click is fired.</li> | |
| <li>The detection includes a cooldown of ~200ms to prevent multiple clicks.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Double click:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Two left‑click gestures within 500ms.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Right click:</strong></li> | |
| <li>A rotation to the right around Y (or a different gesture, e.g., a quick tilt forward – can be configurable).</li> | |
| <li><strong>Scroll:</strong></li> | |
| <li>A rapid linear movement along the phone’s Y‑axis (up/down). If the velocity along Y exceeds a threshold, a scroll command is sent with delta = ±1 (or a larger multiple depending on speed).</li> | |
| <li>The scroll direction (up/down) is determined by the sign of the motion.</li> | |
| <li>To avoid interfering with cursor movement, the scroll detection is only triggered if the movement is predominantly along Y and exceeds a speed threshold.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Dead zone:</strong> Small movements (dx/dy < 0.15) are suppressed to prevent cursor jitter.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>4.3 Main Processing Loop (in <code>HomeFragment</code>)</h4> | |
| <p>A <code>HandlerThread</code> (“sensorThread”) processes sensor events in sequence. The callback (<code>onSensorChanged</code>) does: | |
| 1. Copy raw values. | |
| 2. Apply calibration (bias/scale). | |
| 3. Update Madgwick filter with timestamp. | |
| 4. Get Euler angles from filter. | |
| 5. Pass angles to <code>GestureDetector</code>. | |
| 6. If connected, send <code>move</code> (every event) and any gesture commands. | |
| 7. Update the on‑screen dot (if enabled).</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>5. Networking – Detailed Mechanisms</h3> | |
| <h4>5.1 DataSender (<code>DataSender.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Singleton pattern:</strong> <code>getInstance(ip, port, prefs)</code> returns the current instance or creates a new one if parameters changed.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Coroutine scope:</strong> Uses <code>CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO + SupervisorJob())</code> for network tasks.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Connection:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>start()</code> creates a <code>Socket(ip, port)</code>, sets <code>soTimeout=5000</code>, gets <code>PrintWriter</code> and <code>BufferedReader</code>.</li> | |
| <li><code>isConnected</code> flag updated.</li> | |
| <li>Calls <code>onConnected</code> callback.</li> | |
| <li>Launches <code>startAckListener()</code> coroutine.</li> | |
| <li><strong>ACK Listener:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Reads lines from <code>reader</code> in a loop.</li> | |
| <li>If line contains <code>"type":"ack"</code>, extracts the <code>id</code> (integer) and removes the corresponding pending command from <code>pendingAcks</code> map.</li> | |
| <li>Catches <code>SocketTimeoutException</code> – continues (normal). Catches <code>IOException</code> – breaks and disconnects.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Sending:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>sendMove(dx, dy)</code>: writes a JSON line without an ID, flushes.</li> | |
| <li><code>sendClick()</code>, <code>sendDoubleClick()</code>, <code>sendRightClick()</code>, <code>sendScroll(delta)</code>: calls <code>sendWithAck(type, delta)</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>ACK & Retransmission (<code>sendWithAck</code>):</strong></li> | |
| <li>Generates a unique <code>id</code> using <code>AtomicInteger.incrementAndGet()</code>.</li> | |
| <li>Constructs JSON with <code>id</code>.</li> | |
| <li>Sends the packet.</li> | |
| <li>Stores a <code>PendingCommand(message, retries=0)</code> in <code>pendingAcks</code> map.</li> | |
| <li>Schedules a coroutine with <code>delay(ACK_TIMEOUT_MS)</code> (500ms).</li> | |
| <li>If the entry still exists (no ACK received), increments <code>retries</code> and resends. If <code>retries >= MAX_ACK_RETRIES</code> (3), removes it and logs failure.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Disconnection:</strong></li> | |
| <li><code>stopSending()</code> cancels the scope, closes socket, updates flag.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>5.2 AutoReconnect (<code>AutoReconnect.kt</code>)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Automatically reconnects when the connection is lost (e.g., server restart, network switch).</li> | |
| <li><strong>Logic:</strong></li> | |
| <li>Observes <code>DataSender.isConnected</code> (or receives a callback).</li> | |
| <li>When <code>isConnected</code> becomes <code>false</code>, it starts a coroutine that:<ol> | |
| <li>Waits a few seconds.</li> | |
| <li>Attempts to create a new <code>DataSender</code> instance with the same IP/port.</li> | |
| <li>Calls <code>start()</code> – if successful, the new sender replaces the old one (via <code>DataSender.setInstance</code>).</li> | |
| <li>Exponentially backs off on repeated failures (up to a max delay).</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><strong>Integration:</strong> Started when the connection is first established; stopped when the user manually disconnects.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h4>5.3 UdpDiscoveryClient (optional, but can be implemented)</h4> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Broadcasts “AIRMOUSE_DISCOVER” on port 8081 using <code>MulticastSocket</code> (or <code>DatagramSocket</code>).</li> | |
| <li>Listens for responses, extracts IP and port, updates UI.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>6. Persistent Data & Preferences</h3> | |
| <p><strong>PreferencesManager:</strong> | |
| - Stores/retrieves last IP, port, sensitivity, calibration data (bias/scale arrays), log filter settings. | |
| - All values are stored in <code>SharedPreferences</code>. Calibration arrays are converted to/from string (comma‑separated) or JSON.</p> | |
| <p><strong>CalibrationManager:</strong> | |
| - Wraps <code>PreferencesManager</code> for calibration‑specific keys. | |
| - Methods: <code>saveGyroBias</code>, <code>getGyroBias</code>, <code>saveAccCalibration</code>, <code>getAccOffset</code>, <code>getAccScale</code>, <code>saveMagCalibration</code>, <code>getMagOffset</code>, <code>getMagScale</code>.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>7. Performance Tracing (Perfetto Integration)</h3> | |
| <p><strong>Tracepoints</strong> (inserted in <code>HomeFragment</code> or <code>DataSender</code>): | |
| - <code>AirMouseApp.Sensors.sensor_read</code>: begin/end in <code>onSensorChanged</code> before copying values. | |
| - <code>AirMouseApp.Filter.complementary</code>: begin/end around Madgwick <code>update()</code>. | |
| - <code>AirMouseApp.Filter.compute_delta</code>: around <code>GestureDetector.computeMovement()</code>. | |
| - <code>AirMouseApp.Communication.send</code>: around <code>sendMove()</code>. | |
| - <code>AirMouseApp.Communication.sendAck</code>: around <code>sendWithAck()</code>.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Config (<code>config.pbtx</code>):</strong> | |
| - Enables <code>linux.ftrace</code> (sched, cpu_frequency). | |
| - Enables <code>track_event</code> with categories matching the tracepoint prefixes.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Analysis:</strong> | |
| - Record trace via <code>record_android_trace</code> script while using the app for 15 seconds. | |
| - Run <code>perfetto_analyzer.py</code> to generate answers to the 11 questions.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>8. Adaptive Icon</h3> | |
| <p>As described in previous answers – properly split foreground/background with a <code>mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml</code> definition.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h3>9. Build Instructions</h3> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>Open project in Android Studio.</li> | |
| <li>Ensure <code>gradle.properties</code> has <code>android.useAndroidX=true</code>.</li> | |
| <li>Sync Gradle, then <code>Build > Build APK(s)</code>.</li> | |
| <li>Install on device with <code>adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk</code>.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <hr /> | |

| <h2>📱 Comprehensive Description of the Android Air Mouse Application</h2> | |
| <p>The Android side of the Air Mouse system transforms a smartphone into a precise, low‑latency remote pointer and command controller. It reads raw sensor data, fuses it using a custom‑implemented algorithm (Madgwick), detects gestures (click, double‑click, right‑click, scroll), and sends them over TCP to the PC server. The application also handles UDP discovery, QR‑based endpoint scanning, a full calibration wizard with animated visual guidance, live debugging logs, and advanced performance tracing via Perfetto.</p> | |
| <p>Below is an exhaustive breakdown of every component, file, algorithm, and integration detail.</p> | |

| <h2>2. Sensor Management & Fusion (Madgwick AHRS)</h2> | |
| <h3>2.1 Sensor Acquisition</h3> | |
| <p>A dedicated <code>SensorManager</code> is used in the <code>HomeFragment</code> (the main control screen). Three sensors are registered: | |
| - <code>TYPE_GYROSCOPE</code> (rad/s) at <code>SENSOR_DELAY_GAME</code> (20ms). | |
| - <code>TYPE_ACCELEROMETER</code> (m/s²) at <code>SENSOR_DELAY_GAME</code>. | |
| - <code>TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD</code> (µT) at <code>SENSOR_DELAY_GAME</code>.</p> | |
| <p>The callback (<code>onSensorChanged</code>) collects raw values, applies calibration offsets/scale, and feeds them into the fusion filter. To avoid processing on the main thread, a dedicated <code>HandlerThread</code> or coroutine is used (though the tracepoints show it running on <code>sensorThread</code>).</p> | |
| <h3>2.2 Calibration Data Application</h3> | |
| <p>Before fusion, raw values are corrected using parameters stored in <code>SharedPreferences</code> by <code>CalibrationManager</code>: | |
| - <strong>Gyroscope:</strong> Subtract bias (average of 100 stationary samples). | |
| - <strong>Accelerometer:</strong> Remove offset and scale using six‑position calibration (classic method: offset = (max+min)/2, scale = (max-min)/2g). | |
| - <strong>Magnetometer:</strong> Hard‑iron offset and soft‑iron scale via min‑max normalisation after rotating in a figure‑8.</p> | |
| <h3>2.3 Madgwick Filter Implementation (<code>SensorFusion.kt</code>)</h3> | |
| <p>The filter is implemented manually (no library), following the open‑source reference. It fuses the three sensors to produce a quaternion representing device orientation. Key aspects: | |
| - <strong>Algorithm:</strong> Gradient‑descent optimisation of the quaternion to align the measured direction of gravity (from accelerometer) and Earth’s magnetic field (from magnetometer) with their predicted directions based on gyroscope integration. | |
| - <strong>Parameters:</strong> The algorithm uses a constant beta (filter gain) that balances gyro integration vs. accelerometer/mag correction. Default β = 0.041 for moderate dynamics. | |
| - <strong>Output:</strong> A quaternion (or Euler angles after conversion) that provides pitch, roll, and yaw. | |
| - <strong>Update rate:</strong> Called at every sensor sample (approx. 50–100 Hz) for smooth, drift‑free orientation.</p> | |
| <h3>2.4 Gesture Detection (<code>GestureDetector.kt</code>)</h3> | |
| <p>From the fused orientation (or from raw gyro/accel data in specific axes), the app detects: | |
| - <strong>Mouse movement:</strong> Pitch and roll (or X/Z rotations) are mapped to horizontal and vertical cursor displacement. The mapping gain is adjustable via sensitivity. | |
| - <strong>Click:</strong> A quick rotation around the Y‑axis (yaw) exceeding a threshold (> 30°/s) is interpreted as a left click. | |
| - <strong>Double click:</strong> Two quick yaw rotations within a short time window. | |
| - <strong>Right click:</strong> A different gesture, e.g., a quick tilt backwards or a dedicated button (if UI includes one). | |
| - <strong>Scroll:</strong> A rapid linear movement along the Y‑axis of the phone (up/down). The gesture detector differentiates scroll up (positive Y‑delta) from scroll down by direction. | |
| - <strong>Threshold tuning:</strong> These thresholds are configurable in the app’s settings (or hardcoded with reasonable defaults). The app also implements a “dead zone” to ignore small unintentional movements.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>3. Calibration System (UI & Logic)</h2> | |
| <p>The calibration system is a critical part for achieving accurate motion. It is split into a <strong>manager</strong> for saving/loading parameters and a <strong>user interface</strong> with step‑by‑step visual guides.</p> | |
| <h3>3.1 <code>CalibrationManager.kt</code></h3> | |
| <p>Stores calibration data in <code>SharedPreferences</code> under keys like <code>gyro_bias_x</code>, <code>acc_offset_x</code>, <code>acc_scale_x</code>, <code>mag_offset_x</code>, etc.<br /> | |
| Provides methods: | |
| - <code>saveGyroBias(FloatArray)</code>, <code>getGyroBias(): FloatArray</code> | |
| - <code>saveAccCalibration(offset: FloatArray, scale: FloatArray)</code> | |
| - <code>saveMagCalibration(offset: FloatArray, scale: FloatArray)</code></p> | |
| <h3>3.2 <code>CalibrationActivity</code> & ViewPager</h3> | |
| <p>Uses a <code>ViewPager2</code> with a <code>TabLayout</code> containing three tabs: | |
| - <strong>Gyroscope</strong> – <code>GyroCalibrationFragment</code> | |
| - <strong>Accelerometer</strong> – <code>AccelCalibrationFragment</code> | |
| - <strong>Magnetometer</strong> – <code>MagCalibrationFragment</code></p> | |
| <p><strong>Adapter:</strong> <code>CalibrationPagerAdapter</code> extends <code>FragmentStateAdapter</code>.</p> | |
| <h3>3.3 Gyroscope Calibration Fragment</h3> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>UI: An image of a phone lying on a table, a “Start” button, a progress bar, and status text.</li> | |
| <li>Logic: When the user presses “Start”, the fragment registers a gyro listener at <code>SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST</code> and collects 100 samples while the phone is stationary. After collecting, it computes the mean as bias and saves it via <code>CalibrationManager</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Tracepoints:</strong> None specific, but the sensor callback uses the global tracepoints for <code>sensor_read</code>.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h3>3.4 Accelerometer Calibration Fragment (with animations)</h3> | |
| <p>This is the most visually advanced component. It guides the user through 6 positions to calibrate offset and scale.</p> | |
| <p><strong>UI:</strong> | |
| - A large <code>ImageView</code> showing a phone vector drawable. | |
| - Labels: “Step X of 6”, “Place phone flat, screen up”, etc. | |
| - A “Record Position” button and a progress bar.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Animation:</strong> | |
| The phone image rotates smoothly from one position to the next using XML‑based <code>AnimatedVectorDrawable</code>s. Each of the six transitions (e.g., flat‑up → flat‑down, flat‑up → vertical‑up, etc.) is a separate <code>animated-vector</code> file that targets the <code>phone_group</code> in <code>ic_phone.xml</code> and animates its <code>rotation</code> (or <code>rotationX</code>/<code>rotationY</code>) over 600ms. This gives the user a clear visual cue of exactly how to hold the phone.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Logic:</strong> | |
| - A list of <code>Position</code> objects describes the description and the target rotation angles. | |
| - On each press of “Record Position”, the fragment collects 100 accelerometer samples. | |
| - After collection, the mean is stored in a temporary list for that position. | |
| - The phone image then animates to the next position. | |
| - After the 6th position, the calibration manager computes the global offset and scale from the collected means and saves them.</p> | |
| <h3>3.5 Magnetometer Calibration Fragment</h3> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>UI: Text “Move the phone in a large figure‑8 pattern until the bar fills.” + a progress bar.</li> | |
| <li>Logic: When the tab is selected, the fragment starts listening to the magnetometer. It collects 200 samples while the user moves the phone. Then it calculates the min/max for each axis and computes hard‑iron offset and soft‑iron scale. It saves the results.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h3>3.6 Integration with Main App</h3> | |
| <p>A button in the main UI (HomeFragment) opens <code>CalibrationActivity</code>. The calibration data is loaded at app startup and applied before sensor fusion.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>4. Networking (TCP Client, UDP Discovery, ACK)</h2> | |
| <h3>4.1 <code>DataSender.kt</code> – TCP Client with ACK</h3> | |
| <p>A singleton that manages the TCP socket connection to the PC server.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Features:</strong> | |
| - <strong>Coroutine‑based I/O:</strong> Uses <code>Dispatchers.IO</code> for all network operations. | |
| - <strong>Connection state:</strong> <code>isConnected</code> live‑data. | |
| - <strong>Message format:</strong> JSON lines with keys <code>type</code>, <code>dx</code>, <code>dy</code>, <code>delta</code>, <code>id</code>. | |
| - <strong>Move messages:</strong> Fire‑and‑forget, no ACK needed. Sent as fast as sensor data arrives (roughly every 20ms). | |
| - <strong>Click/Scroll messages:</strong> Each critical message is assigned a unique <code>id</code> (using an <code>AtomicInteger</code>). After sending, a <code>PendingCommand</code> is stored in a <code>ConcurrentHashMap</code>. A coroutine is launched to wait for an ACK with a timeout of 500ms. If no ACK arrives, the message is retransmitted up to 3 times. Upon receiving an ACK (via the <code>ackListener</code> coroutine), the pending entry is removed. | |
| - <strong>ACK Listener:</strong> A separate coroutine reads lines from the socket’s input stream. If a line contains <code>"type":"ack"</code>, it extracts the <code>id</code> and removes the corresponding pending command. | |
| - <strong>Auto‑Reconnect (<code>AutoReconnect.kt</code>):</strong> Monitors the connection state and automatically attempts to re‑establish the socket when disconnected. It uses exponential backoff and triggers a new <code>DataSender</code> instance if needed.</p> | |
| <h3>4.2 UDP Discovery Client (optional, for automatic server discovery)</h3> | |
| <p>A separate class that sends a broadcast <code>AIRMOUSE_DISCOVER</code> to port 8081 when the user taps “Discover”. It listens for responses (containing <code>ip</code> and <code>port</code>) and populates the IP/port fields.</p> | |
| <h3>4.3 QR Code Scanning</h3> | |
| <p>The app integrates the <code>zxing-android-embedded</code> library. A button in the main UI launches <code>CaptureActivity</code> (from the library). When a QR code is scanned, the result (expected format: <code>airmouse://192.168.1.x:8080</code>) is parsed, and the IP and port are extracted and used to start the connection.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>5. User Interface (Activities & Fragments)</h2> | |
| <h3>5.1 <code>OnboardingActivity</code></h3> | |
| <p>A simple onboarding screen with a “Get Started” button that transitions to <code>MainActivity</code>.</p> | |
| <h3>5.2 <code>MainActivity</code></h3> | |
| <p>Hosts the bottom navigation and controls the main fragments: | |
| - <strong>HomeFragment:</strong> The primary mouse control screen. It contains: | |
| - Server IP/port input fields (with a QR scan button). | |
| - Connection indicator. | |
| - Live log area (showing sent commands, ACKs, errors). | |
| - “Calibrate” button to launch calibration. | |
| - Sensitivity slider (adjustable by the user). | |
| - It registers sensor listeners and starts the data sender. | |
| - <strong>ProfilesFragment:</strong> Allows saving/loading connection profiles (multiple server IPs). | |
| - <strong>VoiceCommandFragment:</strong> Experimental voice control (optional, not core). | |
| - <strong>ServerLogFragment:</strong> Dedicated full‑screen live log viewer, integrated with <code>LogManager</code>.</p> | |
| <h3>5.3 Live Logging (<code>LogManager.kt</code>)</h3> | |
| <p>A central logger that stores timestamped messages in a <code>LiveData<List<LogEntry>></code> or a callback. The log is displayed in both <code>HomeFragment</code> and <code>ServerLogFragment</code>. It can be filtered and cleared.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>6. Adaptive Icon & Branding</h2> | |
| <p>The app icon is fully adaptive, adhering to Android 8+ guidelines: | |
| - <code>res/drawable/ic_launcher_foreground.xml</code>: A vector graphic containing a mouse cursor, rotation arcs (yellow, green, red, purple), and scroll indicators. The artwork is confined within the 72dp safe zone and is transparent everywhere else. | |
| - <code>res/drawable/ic_launcher_background.xml</code>: A solid indigo blue rectangle. | |
| - <code>res/mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml</code>: Combines the two layers using <code><adaptive-icon></code>. | |
| - Legacy PNG fallback was generated using Android Studio for pre‑API 26 devices.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>7. Persistence & Settings</h2> | |
| <p><code>PreferencesManager</code> uses <code>SharedPreferences</code> to store: | |
| - Last connected IP and port. | |
| - Sensitivity setting. | |
| - Calibration data (loaded by <code>CalibrationManager</code>). | |
| - User‑selected log level and other preferences.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>8. Performance Tracing (Perfetto)</h2> | |
| <h3>8.1 Tracepoints</h3> | |
| <p>Custom <code>Trace.beginSection</code> / <code>Trace.endSection</code> calls are placed in: | |
| - <code>onSensorChanged</code> callback (<code>AirMouseApp.Sensors.sensor_read</code>). | |
| - Madgwick filter update (<code>AirMouseApp.Filter.complementary</code>). | |
| - Compute delta and gesture detection (<code>AirMouseApp.Filter.compute_delta</code>). | |
| - Network send move (<code>AirMouseApp.Communication.send</code>). | |
| - Network send ack command (<code>AirMouseApp.Communication.sendAck</code>).</p> | |
| <p>These tracepoints enable precise measurement of each stage’s duration.</p> | |
| <h3>8.2 Perfetto Configuration</h3> | |
| <p>A <code>config.pbtx</code> file enables: | |
| - <code>linux.ftrace</code> (sched, frequencies). | |
| - <code>track_event</code> with custom categories matching the tracepoints. | |
| - Duration set to 15 seconds.</p> | |
| <h3>8.3 Analysis Script</h3> | |
| <p>A Python script (<code>perfetto_analyzer.py</code>) uses the <code>perfetto</code> library to run SQL queries against the recorded trace. It extracts: | |
| - Average callback duration (Q1). | |
| - Sampling interval vs. configured (Q3). | |
| - Thread waiting times (Q4). | |
| - Filter CPU time (Q6). | |
| - Most expensive sensor stage (Q7). | |
| - Latency from sensor read to network send (Q9). | |
| - Thread assignment (Q10). | |
| - Filter duration histogram (Q11).</p> | |
| <p>All queries are printed in a report‑ready format.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>9. Build, Testing, and Video</h2> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Build:</strong> <code>./gradlew assembleDebug</code> produces an APK with version code and all required permissions.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Tests:</strong> UI tests using Espresso (e.g., verifying calibration tabs, start button presence) can be added but are not mandatory.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Video:</strong> A short demonstration shows the phone controlling the PC cursor, performing clicks and scrolls, with both screens visible.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <h2>10. Complete Flow Example</h2> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>User opens the app on the phone and sees the home screen.</li> | |
| <li>Taps the QR code button, scans the QR displayed on the PC server – IP:port auto‑filled.</li> | |
| <li>Taps “Connect” – TCP socket established, ACK listener starts.</li> | |
| <li>Holds the phone and moves it – the Madgwick filter calculates orientation, gesture detector extracts dx/dy, sent to PC every ~20ms.</li> | |
| <li>Quickly twists the phone around Y‑axis – a click message is sent with an ID. If no ACK within 500ms, it retries.</li> | |
| <li>Moves phone sharply up/down – a scroll message is sent.</li> | |
| <li>The app also shows real‑time logs of what’s being sent, and the PC server logs all actions.</li> | |
| <li>If the connection drops, <code>AutoReconnect</code> kicks in and reconnects.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <p>Everything is modular, debug‑friendly, and fully documented.</p> | |
| <hr /> | |
| <p>This complete description covers all aspects of the Android application and, together with the PC server and profiling tools, delivers a project that meets every requirement of the exercise with professional quality.</p> | |
