Android external display support

Hello,
I saw that iOS external display support was added 4.1 but not for Android.

I would like to be able to render to an external display in an android app.(http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display.html)

- Will Android be supported in the future? (And what kind of timeline? In a months? Next year?)
- Would it be possible for me implement external display support for Android in Unity on my own? Or is it something that only an update to Unity can provide?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

 

If you can implement the feature via extending UnityPlayerActivity, then it should be possible

Thanks for the reply.
I can get access to the available Displays in Java, but then there's the question of how to get Unity to understand how to render to the second view port.
The sample code for Unity's iOS support has Unity's camera setting its color buffer and render buffer to those of the Display.
Would I need to implement that for Android's displays? If so, how would I go about adding the hook so that Unity can write directly to the render buffers of the external display.

 

For something like that (rendering to seconds screen via Unity camera), you would need Unity side support (since AFAIK there isn't an easy way to create a new OpenGL ES context for second display and pass it to Unity).

 

I'm interested in the topic, are there any news?
