[android-beginners] Android keyevent keycodes and scancodes
Hi
I am writing a program which captures the keys pressed by user in
android and displays it in Ubuntu. According to what I read, Android's
input event device is structured around an interrupt or polling
routine that captures the device-specific scancode and converts it to
a standard form acceptable to Linux (as defined in input.h) before
passing it to the kernel with input_event(). There are the steps which
describe the translation from keyboard input to application action:
1. Window manager reads key event from Linux keyboard driver.
2. Window manager maps scancode to keycode.
3. Window manager sends both the scancode and the keycode to the
application.
Now in my application I have an EditText which returns the keycode of
any key which is pressed. So basically this is what I have:
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent
event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String a ="";a+=keyCode;
txt.setText(a);
return false;
}
Now I get this keycode value but it does not correspond to the
scancode value. For example, the keycode value for 'A' is 29 but the
scancode is 30. There is no correlation I can see between the input.h
scancodes and these keycodes either. My question is, I want to know
how step 2 (the mapping) above takes place. My applications aim is to
echo whatever I type on my android keyboard on my Ubuntu desktop (I
can connect between the 2 without a problem, so you don't have to
worry about that). Any help would be appreciated, as I have looked
online for quite a bit.

[android-beginners] Re: Socket client does not work with emulator
Hi James,
Thanks a lot! I actually just figured it out as well and was about to
post my solution here.
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#emulatornetworking
So for anyone having a similar problem,
Basically 10.0.2.2 is the Android Emulator's alias to 127.0.0.1
The emulator does not understand when you specify "localhost"
So change the line:
Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 5554);
to
Socket socket = new Socket("10.0.2.2", 5554);
Cheers!

[android-beginners] Socket client does not work with emulator
Hi,
I am trying to create a connection between a server socket program
written in C and an android client socket program. Now when I write a
regular java client program such as:
try
{
Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 5554);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(echoSocket.getOutputStream
(), true);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
//
}
out.println("Hello World");
This program works perfectly and my server.c file receives the
message.
However, when I try the same program with the Android Emulator, I get
an "Error:java.net.ConnectException: localhost/127.0.0.1:5554 -
Connection refused" I have tried different ports as well (, 3490).
This works perfectly with the regular Java project, but the moment I
write the same code in an Android project I get that error. I have
been stuck on this all day and am really getting frustrated :( Would
appreciate any help!

[android-beginners] Sockets with Android.
Hi
I'm implementing a program which uses sockets to communicate between
the client and server. I am getting this to work fine with just a
message. However, I want to have an EditText field in my application,
which when I hit a 'Send' button, sends the text from the field to my
server and logs it. I am trying to implement this, but my program
always crashes. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my code:
Android Client:
public class SocketTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Thread sThread = new Thread(new TCPServer());
Thread cThread = new Thread(new TCPClient());
sThread.start();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) { }
cThread.start();
}
}
TCP Server:
public class TCPServer implements Runnable{
public static final String SERVERIP = "127.0.0.1";
public static final int SERVERPORT = ;
public void run() {
try {
Log.d("TCP", "S: Connecting...");
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket
(SERVERPORT);
while (true) {
Socket client = serverSocket.accept();
Log.d("TCP", "S: Receiving...");
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
String str = in.readLine();
Log.d("TCP", "S: Received: '" + str + "'");
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
} finally {
client.close();
Log.d("TCP", "S: Done.");
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
}
}
}
TCP Client:
public class TCPClient extends Activity implements Runnable {
final EditText msg = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.message);
final Button sendButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sendserver);
public void run() {
sendButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
InetAddress serverAddr =
InetAddress.getLocalHost();
Log.d("TCP", "C: Connecting...");
Socket socket = new Socket(serverAddr,
TCPServer.SERVERPORT);
String message = msg.toString();
try {
Log.d("TCP", "C: Sending: '" + message
+ "'");
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( new
BufferedWriter( new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream
())),true);
out.println(message);
Log.d("TCP", "C: Sent.");
Log.d("TCP", "C: Done.");
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
} finally {
socket.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "C: Error", e);
}
}
}) ;
}
}

Also, I am writing an application to use an Android device as a

[android-beginners] Re: onKeyboardActionListener vs onKeylistener
Hi Balwinder,
That is pretty much what I'm doing. I'm running 1.6. I guess it's
working for me as well that way, but why do I have to hit the back
button on the emulator for the text to be copied? On a real device
this would be kind of frustrating.

[android-beginners] Re: onKeyboardActionListener vs onKeylistener
Thanks for the reply. If I type HELLO and hit the back button, only O
gets copied into box B. It's weird. Here is the relevant part of my
code:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.virtualkeyboard);
final EditText boxA= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.boxA);
final EditText boxB= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.boxB);
boxA.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent
event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
//copy text from box A to B
}
return false;
}
});
Now just to repeat my problem, the above code works perfectly when I
use a physical keyboard, or the emulators hard keyboard. It is only
when I use the virtual(soft) keyboard does it not work. I saw some
posts online about using setOnKeyListener instead. But I do not know
how that works since it is not a method for EditText.

[android-beginners] onKeyboardActionListener vs onKeylistener
Hi, I am new to Android, and am writing an app which has 2 EditTexts (Let's call them A and B) and whenever I hit any key in A, it is automatically copied to B. For example, if I type HELLO in A, it will copy each letter into B. I managed to get this to work perfectly with the setOnKeyListener(). However, in the emulator I found that the virtual keyboard did not respond to this listener the same way. For some weird reason, the number keys in the Virtual Keyboard (0-9) responded to the onKeyListener but none of the others did. After doing a Google search of my issue, I found some people with similar problems, but no real solution. I realized there is a KeyboardView.OnKeyboardActionListener which listens for inputs from the virtual keyboard. However, I have no idea how to use this in my edittext field. I would appreciate some sort of help with this matter. Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Arayadapter only shows text when highlighted
I have an arrayadapter which stores the names of the 12 months of the
year:
final String[] Months = new String[]
{"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August",
"September","October","November","December"};
ArrayAdapter monthArray = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Months);
I also have a textview where if I enter some text, the matching text
in the arrayadapter appears below the textbox.
final AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)
findViewById(R.id.testAutoComplete);
textView.setAdapter(monthArray);
For example, if I start typing the characters of January, I should see
the word January appear below the textbox (like how google suggest
works). So my program seems to be working, but when I start typing Jan
for example, a box appears below with the word January in it, but I
can only see the text when it is highlighted. So for some reason, the
text is the same colour as the background box(white in this case).
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks!
