Android :: Capture Key Events While In Background
Dec 2, 2009I am planning to port an application from Symbian to Android and I'm looking at the possibilities of the Android platform.
My application runs in background and needs to detect when the user presses and holds a button (for 3-4 seconds) on the phone even when the phones key lock is on.
I am in the process of learning Android programming but so far what I understand is that if my application runs as a service it would be able to receive broadcast such as ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON. Am I looking in the right direction?
I had a quick look at the list of native android broadcast actions and I could only find broadcast actions for Camera, Media and Call buttons. What about the other buttons?
Android :: How To Capture Key Events With Window-less Activity?
Dec 2, 2009I have an Activity which has no window (but it has a view). I'm using: getWindowManager().addView(view, params);I've attempted to call takeKeyEvents(true), however I see that takeKeyEvents first retrieves the Window and then calls takeKeyEvents on that Window.In my case, the Window is null.What this means is that I never receive onKeyUp and onKeyDown calls, which I need in order to intercept some key presses from external input devices (similar to a handsfree set for example).

General :: Capture Stylus Hover Events Before Get To Apps
May 13, 2014I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?

May 21, 2010i had an interview this morning for a job, and have an opportunity to earna great deal of brownie points with the business owners.They were thinking of purchasing some sort of electronic signature capture device (like fedex or UPS has when you sign for a package) for invoices.. BUT.I also mentioned my Droid Eris and how it can do so much. Turns out, both of the Owners have DROIDs lol.Anyways.. I want to know if anyone has seen some sort of application that can capture signatures, and either save an image to be emailed, or email directly from the app.OR does anyone know a DEV that could create something as simple as this, that I can talk to and relay updates on the APP to the owners of this company.They seemed really interested in it, and I'm pretty positive it will show a good bit of initiative in saving their company money from the get-go (on my part)

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Mic Audio Capture Too Static
Jun 3, 2009As a first step toward a speech recognition project, we wrote a simple voice recording application based on the information in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
It is working; however, the audio is extremely poor too static for our needs. As a comparison, we did a similar audio file captured with audacity on a PC and it was much better. Has anyone been able to record high quality audio with the android dev phone? According to the documentation of MediaRecorder, there is only one audio encoder "AMR (Narrowband) audio codec" and three output formats--3gpp, mpeg, and raw AMR:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html
According to wikipedia, AMR encoding is only 8hz. Is there a better option available perhaps a lower-level API compared to MediaRecorder? We are testing on Windows XP, with a Logitec USB microphone, eclipse ganymede, and we are using all the defaults for an android 1.5 app (no emulator command-line options. We defined the SD card in AVD manager).
