Hi Robs, May be your Home screen is getting locked after boot and the icons are not displaying. So to unlock it, it explicitly needs the Home Key to press.
Just have a look at the code in PhoneWindowManager.java, there is a function launchHomeFromHotKey() add some debug logs in this to check. Also check in the LockScreen.java to see what's happening. Change the DEBUG to true in that file to see the debug logs. You can also post to android-platform ML to get more responses. - Srikant On Sep 11, 8:26 am, Robin Gujjar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > i tried to make the home key work on my board ,i ma running eclair > android 2.1 ) . but after making change in > key layout and kernel it doe not work . i have doen the follwing > chnage > 1) . in have mapped the HOME key in keypal.kl file of my source > code : > > key 3 HOME WAKE_DROPPED > > 2) kernel : i am returning the input event 3 form the external > interrupt from my board. > > after making these two modification it is not working. > > as per the mailing list i followed the JBQ instruction.which is > related the provision of the devices in > > developement/apps/Sdksetup/Android.mk > > i have enabled a macor LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := eng > > after adding this moduel it seems to be , home key is working , but it > is giving some side effect with resetting the board. > > 1 ) first boot ( when i boot the board first time it bootup > properly ) > 2 ) but if i reset the board and its boot .so the default wondow is > only google wallpaper of android. no ICON appears on the main screen. > but once i press the wake up key it is ok .all the icon comback . > > Do i need some more modification in android for HOME KEY or not, > please let me know i will be thank full or where i need to modify . > and do i need any kind of provision of divices . ? > > thanks > > ROBS -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
