RCU mapping

[Damir Miljkovic]

Hi all,

I have to do RCU mapping which I don't quite understand. *.kl is clear, this is for mapping keys from kernel to values in android framework but what about *.kcm file? My RCU has numbers from 0-9 and letters are printted out when I press keys multiple times (a, b, c on number 2), except 0 which only prints out only 0 and + (I need a space but i don't know how to map it).

Second thing is that when I open chrome I can write letters in URL (search) bar, but when I actually open any web page I can only write letters in input text fields, this doesn't make any sense to me.

Could anyone help me to understand this key layout mapping, take look at attached file.

Thnx in advance.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't understand what "RCU" means in this message.

None of the terms at the link seem to apply, so it must mean something else. Can you please explain?

I am sorry RCU is remote control unit, plain remote control for TV

Anyone?

http://s.android.com/devices/input/key-character-map-files.html is your best source of information on KCM files, so make sure to give it a thorough read.

That being said, could you describe exactly what you expect / want in each circumstance vs. what you're getting? I'm not sure I fully understand what you're looking for yet.

For example: how do I add mapping for 0 when pressed multiple times to get following output:
1 press: 0
2 press: space
3 press: ,
4 press: +

Ah, yeah, that's not possible with just KCM / KL files. You'd have to build your own IME to do something like that.

Can you give me an example how to implement this with LatinIME, I am trying to understand how this exactly works.

Thnx
