backKey and now searchKey and menuKey

[BarrySumpter]

Thank you RunRev.

I was really missing being able to trap these hardware keys.

Search button, Back Buttton, Menu Button

Code: Select all

on searchKey
   answer "You pressed the searchKey"
end searchKey

on backKey
   answer "You pressed the backKey"
   if the number of this card is 1 then
      pass backKey
   else
      go to the previous card
   end if
end backKey

on menuKey
   answer "You pressed the menuKey"
end menuKey

My hd2 did NOT have a search button
I remapped the phone/button (far left) to be a Search Button
Notes from HDA:

All files related to key mappings are located in /system/usr/keylayout . The qwerty.kl is the one that android is defaulting to if not specified otherwise. There may be some other kl files in the folder, but the vendor specific file is just "left overs" from the ROM rip (in some cases).

Remap Dial Button to be a Search Button
