[android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
Hi saru,
I posted the same question last Friday. I found the solution which
consists on dispatching the event using the event dispatcher of the
activity. If you would like to read some advanced technical details
about event processing you can read this excellent post:
http://letsgoustc.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!89AD27DFB5E249BA!488.entry
public void onClick(View v) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
KeyEvent backEvtDown = new
KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK);
KeyEvent backEvtUp = new
KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK);
mActivity.dispatchKeyEvent(backEvtDown);
mActivity.dispatchKeyEvent(backEvtUp);
}
}).start();
}
Best Regards,

Re: [android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
Well, the two things I can tell you about it is: 1) They show exactly how they did it by giving you the source code. 2) They don't show you how to programatically send Menu or End Call button presses, because it is not possible to simulate those buttons (as Mark stated already). Those hardware buttons are restricted to application developers, you can't simulate them. You also can't end *any* active call from your app, which is what the End Call button obviously does. The one thing you can do is make your options menu appear without requiring the menu button (I've not tested this): http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/7c04ceb0baf32750/49df915f430d8f84?lnk=stq=#49df915f430d8f84 But this does not involve simulating key presses.

Re: [android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
The back button is fine, but you can't simulate the exact behaviour of the home button. For example, bringing up the recent apps menu when long pressing it. Good work-around for some scenarios though. On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 10:36 AM, Houcem Berrayana houcem.berray...@gmail.com wrote: I had exactelly the same problem as you.

[android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
For a long press you should make the thread sleeping for a while until the recent apps appears. I haven't yet tested the menu, and phone calls buttons.

Android has changed a fair bit since that milestone release (M3, IIRC), and the code shown in that post will no longer run. Always check the dates of blog posts before relying on their code.

[android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
What I would try is to create a KeyEvent object and dispatch it to the
UI thread.
Something like this (I haven't tried this; code below only to sketch
this up on the conceptual level):
KeyEvent.Callback callbackReceiver = new KeyEvent.Callback(...) { //
callback code };
KeyEvent.DispatcherState dispatcherState = new
KeyEvent.DispatcherState(...);
myMainActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { new
KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KEYCODE_MENU).dispatch(callbackReceiver,
dispatcherState, null); } } ) ;
The KeyEvent defines keycode and action (key up on MENU in the
example). Dispatch it and callbackReceiver should be called.
But not so fast... I recommend to synchronize this through the event
loop using runOnUiThread. That way, you serialize your custom-event
with key events that are generated by the user.
