I am working on a device that does not have a hardware Home, Back or
Menu button. I am trying to create a soft keyboard with only these
three keys but I have not been able to get it working. Does anyone
have any insight into my problem?
I first looked into injecting keypresses into a WindowManager but this
functionality seems to have been removed.
I then looked at creating a custom soft keyboard but that will not
work either. Custom soft keyboards only inject their input into the
text fields they are attached to. I can't send a Home, Back or Menu
keypress to the Android system.
I finally got the Home button working by using this intent to tell
Android to go to the Home screen:
Intent HomeIntent = new Intent();
HomeIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
HomeIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
Unfortunately, I have not found an Intent to send for Menu and Back.
Does anyone know the correct way to do this?
