I just want to know whether it is possible to develop an Android application that will allow remotely controlling an Android phone in the same way that remote desktop, or team viewer allows control over desktop operating systems. Is it possible on an unrooted phone?

The basic functionlit required to acompolish this is would be the ability to capture the frame buffer and programmatically invoke touch on the device.

Any feedback on this matter would be highly appreciated.
