Title Body

Requirement: I want to control my android phone through my laptop using WI-Fi. For this I need to run a web server and a "customized" web app that runs on the android phone over a particular port and the wifi adapter's ip address. For example , I can connect to the web application running on my phone through the browser in my laptop using : http://(ip address of the phone):port Things I have tried: I evaluated a few webservers for android that lets me run java based servlets like ( ijetty ). There are others like TWJS , KWS , PAW etc. So far, I am able to run them on the phone and access the web server through my laptop. My Question: Of all the resources and materials pertaining to developing apps for Android , I'm having a real hard time finding any useful and clear information on what web technology should I create a web application that can use the android APIs and effectively communicate with the phone just as any native Android application . i-Jetty claims to support Web Applications that can use the android apis , but lacks any sincere documentation on how to build to such web application/servlets that uses Android APIs. While,my requirement is similar to what to an existing application for Android does namely AirDroid , it is not open source and neither it discusses anything related to its implementation architecture. So, I am open to any suggestions that can help me create a web application for the managing the android phone wirelessly.
