Writing code to record custom events and play using Java

Question

I want to develop an application that tracks mouse events such as clicks, movements, and keyboard input. The application should run in the background. Using a special key combination, the application will start recording events, and after that we should play the same.

I am new to automation. Can I run the application as a service?

Can we do this in Java?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Its absolutely possible to have an application that monitors events. I used an application called keylogger that can record various keyboards and other events and ultimately save the logs as a file. what you can do is read the magazines and filter out the information you need. Also note that these keyloggers can be detected as a virus by your antivirus, which you need to take care of. But this will not interfere with your files, unlike other viruses, since I have used it successfully.
