I'm having some success with generating/dispatching key events to an EditText field. The major malfunction comes in when I try to generate a character that requires a META key. I can't get capital letters to work, nor will any ALTed chars work. I'm sure there is something fundamental I'm not understanding, and was hoping someone could help.
Using this constructor: KeyEvent(long downTime, long eventTime, int action, int code, int repeat, int metaState); I am using this code to successfully generate a 'w' in the EditText field: KeyEvent event = KeyEvent(0, 0, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_W, 0, 0); event.dispatch(edit_text_field_1); But now when I change the metaState: KeyEvent event = KeyEvent(0, 0, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_W, 0, KeyEvent.META_SHIFT_ON); event.dispatch(edit_text_field_1); I expected a capital 'W' to appear, but still got the small 'w'. Similarly, I was trying to get a question mark '?' out of this (since ? is "alt comma"); KeyEvent event = KeyEvent(0, 0, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_COMMA, 0, KeyEvent.META_ALT_ON); event.dispatch(edit_text_field_1); But I get the comma. So really the question is, how can I use this construct/dispatch KeyEvent technique to generate capital letters and ALTed chars?
