About Serial Mirror APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This project combined with Linux-on-Android can enable a complete Arduino development environment on Android. Serial Mirror solves a problem that most Android devices do not have USB ports to enable normal programming of Arduino devices. To further complicate the the issue the Bluetooth serial port is not shared from Android to Linux-on-Android. To work around these issues this app runs as a service which connects to Arduino over Bluetooth and to the avrdude programmer over a TCP socket. The serial and TCP data are mirrored by Serial Mirror. As a result, Serial Mirror is also useful for devices which do not have root access. After starting Serial Mirror you can connect via a telnet app to send and receive data from the Bluetooth device. Serial Mirror does not transmit any data unless explicitly requested by the user.The Bluesmirf Bluetooth module is available from Sparkfun.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
