Android PowerPoint remote

I want to write an Android remote开发者_开发百科 to PowerPoint. It means we can control the slides by using phone. Where can I start from? Give me some hints please. I've just read the Android basics.

I think RemoteDroid will work pretty well for this purpose and it's a fairly complicated job to replicate.

what I did was:

I use a .NET #C Client on the Windows Side and

A Java Servlet and XMLRPC Web App running on a Tomcat ("in the middle").

And of course a Android Client as the controler

My C# Client creates a persistent HTTP Connection to a Servlet. And the Android App is sending short HTTP GET Requests to the TomCat, stuff like goto3 or next (the request has also a kind of a Presentation ID as parameter). The Comands from the Android Device are dispatched to the previously opened Persistent HTTP Connection from the .NET Client.

In The .NET Client I use a local installed PowerPoint as an ActiveX/OLE Control. You can do pretty much everything programatically in over c# that is possible to do "by hand". Open a .ppt(x), start the SlideShow, control the Slideshow and of course it is also possible to edit the slides content. You can find a lot of examples by googling for Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint

I pair the .NET Client with the Android Phone by using a Generated QR Code. That QR Code I show in a generated PowerPoint Slide. All Work around the QR Code (C# and Android) is done by using code from the ZXing (Zebra Crossing) Project.

You can try it out, Instructions and Downloads are here. The App is called FonPrompt and can be found in Google Play.
