Android Question App not working with TV remote control

[davemorris]

Hi, Guys

I have an TV Box (Running Android) and when I connect it to a TV I can use the TV remote (Cursor key) to move around and select APPs.

I installed one of my own Apps and I can't move around the screen or tab to select other Buttons/Text boxes (using Up/Down/Left/Right buttons) - Strangely the number keypad on the remote does allow me to enter numbers and the OK works.

My App does work if I use a Mouse and keyboard. Also, I tried to run the B4A bridge and the remote does allow me to move between the STOP and STOP buttons so it does work with B4A programs. (Apps like U Tube also work with the remote)

Therefore, I assume I need to do something to my App to make it work with a remote.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Dave

I don't know how you capture key events, but if you can get the key code number, you should also be able to get the key code dpad direction
