Android :: Can't Find Key Event Constant For Backspace Button
Jul 30, 2009This seem pretty trivial, but I can't find the key event constant for the backspace button. Which one is it? I tried KEYCODE_BACK, KEYCODE_CLEAR, etc.

View 2 RepliesI am having difficulty capturing the backspace key as a keyboard Event in javascript/jQuery. In Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, and on the iPhone/iPad, I capture a keyup event on a text input box like this:
CODE;..............
This event captures user keystrokes, then sends them to a function to issue an ajax lookup call.
My problem comes when a user wishes to backspace over a character he/she already typed. In all the browsers to which I have access except for my Droid phone, when I press the backspace key, this keyup event captures the value returned by $(this).val().trim() and sends it on to process in function GetHints. On the Droid, however, neither this keyup nor an equivalent keydown event fires until the user backspaces over every character in $(this).
So, for example, if I type "cu" then backspace over the "u" leaving only "c" in the input field, in all browsers except Droid, the keyup event will fire and call function GetHints("c", event, fieldName). On the Droid, the keyup event never fires.
What am I missing? How/why does this backspace key, on either the soft keyboard or the hard keyboard, on my Droid not function as expected? How do I work around this?
I am developing one application in which there is an imageview...in which i want to move left or right using mouse touch...for that i found "android.view.MotionEvent" but in MotionEvent there are few events among that ACTION_CANCEL 2. ACTION_DOWN 3. ACTION_UP ......etc.
Hence there is no such event for "LEFT" and "RIGHT" action....so is there any other way to implement the "LEFT" and "RIGHT" move ?
I have to input text from user (lat and lng) and use them to geocode. Please help me how to drive user to a textbox and get input then click a button where I can perform the event.

I am trying to handle a simple button click following some sample code but can't get it to work. I do not get any errors, but the click does not register on the emulator. I have set breakpoints and confirmed that the handler never gets executed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying automate UI Functional testing of my application.
1) First phase: Record the user actions and playing back the same.
2) Second Phase: Adding Validation Capability to Recorded scripts.
In First Phase: I'm able to automate the Text/Editbox control actions without any issues, because we need to Set the Text of the control to the recorded value, so, its simple. While coming to Button Control actions, we need to simulate user actons, like Clicking on button. Can anyone suggest me, Do we have any mechanism, which can simulate button click event in Android?
I am relatively new to this still, and I have been developing a small app that would benefit greatly from a user being able to press 2 buttons at one time. What is the best method for achieving this? I dont think that an OnClickListener works like that, and I have seen examples for doing this with an OnTouch event. However, I do not know how to set up button presses with an OnTouch event.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a single screen with a bank of buttons below a ListView. Entries on the ListView light up in orange when I scroll so I assume that are selected. When I then press the "Delete" button I want the onClickListener to remove the currently selected entry. But getSelectedItemPosition() always gives me -1. If I can't hope to use the GUI controls in this way, please give me another way of getting the same result.I have even tried setting the onClickListener of the List View to store the index before the button is pressed (in case pressing the button unselects the entry) but even that is always -1 it seems.

View 2 Replies View Related1st off, I am brand new to Android, have had this phone for 1 day.
All instructions I find say 1 of 2 things, either tap and hold the home screen until I see a "+add widgets", or swipe left to right until I see the menu button. I also read that the menu button should look like 3 vertical bars.
Tapping and holding the home screen only gives me options to add wallpapers, nothing else. I cannot find anything like a menu button. When I go into settings I can find nothing that has to do with adding widgets.
How to find this menu button, what the icon for menu will look like?
