Real-Time Audio-Video (audio-in only) See “System Requirements for Real-Time Audio-Video,” on page 9.
Client drive redirection View Agent 6.1.1 and later or Horizon Agent 7.0 and later.
N You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to Connection Server 6.0 or later. For information
about which operating systems are supported for the RDS (Remote Desktop Sessions) host, which provides
remote applications and session-based desktops, see "Supported Operating Systems for Horizon Agent"
topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation. See the "Supported Operating Systems for
Horizon Agent" topic in the Horizon 7 installation documentation.
Feature Support for Linux Desktops
Some Linux guest operating systems are supported if you have View Agent 6.1.1 or later or Horizon Agent
7.0 or later. For a list of supported Linux operating systems and information about supported features, see
Seing Up Horizon 6 for Linux Desktops, which is part of the Horizon 6 version 6.1 documentation, or see
Seing Up Horizon 7 for Linux Desktops, which is part of the Horizon 7 version 7 documentation.
Input Devices, Keyboards, and Keyboard Settings
Horizon Client for Android supports Bluetooth and docked keyboard devices and keyboards. You can also
set preferences for seings such as auto-capitalization and text correction.
External Keyboards and Input Devices
For information about the devices that your specic tablet supports, see the documentation from the tablet
manufacturer.
External keyboards are sometimes automatically detected by Horizon Client. For some external keyboards,
you must either tap the tablet screen with three ngers at the same time, or you must tap the Keyboard icon.
If you are using a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, the Keyboard icon is in the
Horizon Client Tools radial menu. If you are not using full-screen mode, the Keyboard icon is on the
Horizon Client toolbar.
N On Kindle Fire tablets, tapping with three ngers does not display the onscreen keyboard. You can
instead use the Keyboard icon to display the onscreen keyboard.
After the external keyboard is detected, you might not be able to use the Horizon Client Tools or three-nger
tap to display the onscreen keyboard. You might rst have to deactivate the external keyboard by pressing
its Eject key.
International Onscreen Keyboards
With the correct input methods installed, you can input characters for the following languages: English-
United States, Japanese, French, German, Simplied Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
To choose a language for the keyboard or voice, tap the Keyboard Seings key on the onscreen keyboard.
The Keyboard Seings key is the left-most key on the boom row of the onscreen keyboard. When you
nish selecting seings, tap the Android Back buon to dismiss the dialog box.
