[Q] Are there any apps to interface a graphical LCD with Android? topic






Hello

Wondering if I can ask some advice. I'm looking to start a car PC project soon based on Android, I will probably go with Android x86 Kitkat as I was previously but I guess something like this should be agnostic with many versions and devices.

I am looking to interface a graphical LCD, such as one of these:


They are usually controlled over a serial connection which presumably wouldn't be an issue with a USB-Serial adapter (or even with Android x86, a physical serial port on the PC). So assuming connections are possible, are there any apps to display metadata like Now Playing songs etc on such a screen? Maybe even a small menu to change music etc? Even to display any data at all I'm thinking I may be able to adapt something to suit my needs.

On Linux/BSD, a program called LCDProc is a common choice for controlling such screens, is there anything similar available for Android? Obviously it wouldn't be the main screen on the device it would just be an accessory to display metadata and other info.

Any information pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
