Droid Pad

Droid Pad is an open-source Android application for creating custom control interfaces on an Android device. It can turn the device into a remote control for systems that use supported network and Bluetooth protocols. The application is listed in the Internet & Browsers category because its controls are designed to communicate with connected services and devices.

Users can build control pads through drag-and-drop, placing components such as buttons, sliders, and switches. For WebSocket, MQTT, TCP, UDP, and Bluetooth connections, Droid Pad operates as a client that connects to servers and supports real-time interaction through the control pad components. For Bluetooth Low Energy, it operates as a peripheral and GATT server that sends notifications for actions such as button presses, slider changes, and switch toggles.

A control pad’s connection type can be changed when needed without creating a duplicate pad for another connection. Scripts can update the state of switches, sliders, LEDs, and gauges in the interface. This allows the visible control state to be changed through scripting as well as through direct interaction with the pad.

Droid Pad is intended for Android users who need configurable controls for connected systems using the listed protocols. MirrorNest distributes the official build by mirroring it directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published, and additional guidance is available in the project’s source repository at https://github.com/UmerCodez/DroidPad.
