Mouse support

[NeoTechni]

I plugged a mouse into my Nexus 7 and it works great!

How do I detect right clicking and the scroll wheel though?

Anyone know that would this work with Ooya? That would make a lot of programs compatible with it without converting,

See this answer: bluetooth - Handle all mouse events in Android - Stack Overflow

You can use Reflection to find the actual button in Android 4+.

That wouldnt work for usb though

As I understand it, it should work with USB mouse as well.

there doesn't seem to be any way to find ACTION_SCROLL

there doesn't seem to be any way to find ACTION_SCROLL

According to that link there is, but only API 12+

For Api Level 12+:

• OnGenericMotionListener has been added. I use this one to detect mouse moves withACTION_HOVER_MOVE and wheel changes with ACTION_SCROLL.

 

[almontgreen]

Yes, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work. I see ACTION_HOVER_MOVE but no ACTION_SCROLL in the log when I move the mouse scroll wheel. I must be missing something.

Which API level are you using?

 

[almontgreen]

I'm running Android 4.2.2 and I don't know exactly how to specify the API (in the manifest I put 12 and then 14 but no difference)

 

[eps]

So what exactly have you specified in the manifest file?

 

[almontgreen]

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/> 'tried 12, 13 and 14
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

Your issue is not related to the manifest file.

Neo, have you got a test App I can play with?
