So finally after millions of google searches, discussions etc I was finally able to find a perfect app for touch emulation.
Requirements:
1. Phone must have root access.
2. SE Linux needs to be set to permissive.
3. A (supported) controller and an otg cable. Should work with Bluetooth controllers as well.
Follow the below steps and it should work without any problems :
1. Download Tincore key mapper from play store and give it all the permissions it needs ( display over other apps etc) in the app settings- other permissions.
2. Set SE Linux to permissive. You can do this using an app or the android terminal itself. (Google is your friend)
3. Open the app and grant SU permissions to it.
4. It'll show a tutorial and information. Just skip it or read it if you want to.
4. Go in the settings of the app and go-to devices : touchscreen.
5. For now don't change anything it the output device. Tick everything except Haptic feedback and Invert touch generated Y. (screenshots attached)
6. Now connect your controller using an otg (or pair it using Bluetooth)
7. Click on the search icon (device discovery) select the necessary devices. I myself select System, USB, BT and touchscreen. (screenshot attached).
8. Now, click on the three dot menu and click discover devices. You should get a popup now to allow the app to use the controller. you might need to minimise/deactivate the app in the menu to be able to allow the app to use the controller. If you didn't get any popup then recheck if the controller type is selected in device discovery. If you still don't get any pop-up, your controller might not be supported by the phone.
Click on Minimize/ deactivate to minimise the app.
9. Now just open the game / app you want to use with the controller (or even use a screenshot of the controls ). Open the app from the notification tray.
10. Click on the screen and then keep on pressing/ holding the keys on the controller and you should see the corresponding key on the screen. Just drag the key to the part of the touchscreen that you want to simulate.
11. Do the same with all the keys / analog sticks.
12. Click on the "tick" icon and check if touches are being simulated. (Enable show taps in developer options)
Note : if the app detects the controller but touches aren't simulated change the touch output device to NVT CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREEN in Devices: Touchscreen.
About the application:-
Tincore Keymapper is an Android application.
This application is a transformer/creator of connected periferals.
It allows you to convert or create input devices like gamepad, touchscreen, mouse etc... into a different ouput device that you physically don't have on your tablet, phone, hdmi tv stick etc...
Devices can internal or connected though USB, Bluetooth or networked. (Source: tincore official Wiki http://tincore.freewiki.in/index.php/Tincore_Keymapper )
