Can I solve this with Python?

[stehart]

Hello, I have a little, no a big problem with my N80:
If I put it in my pocket the keylock gets often unlocked by the 2 softkeys.
There are several key lock / auto lock programs on the market, but they only lock the handy, they don't prevent the unwanted unlock.
My idea is to lock handy when closing slider and unlock it opening the slider. No unlock with softkeys should be possible.

I read a little bit in the Python docu but I'm not sure if I can solve it with python. I think there are 3 possibilities to solve this problem.

1. The best solution in my opinion is to have an application running in background. It detects that the handy is locked and catches
all "keystrokes" until handy is unlocked. This would require that a python application in background can catch keyevents, is this possible? Also it must detect if phone is locked or not. Alternativly it must detect when slider is opened and closed.

2. Another option is that a background application gets an event that keyboard is locked. Now it becomes to the application in foreground and catches all keystrokes until handy is unklocked.

3. The last possibilty might be an application that is started via quick lauch and that catches all keystrokes. This application will close when handy is unlocked.

What is your opinion, is this solvable with python or must I use java or c++ ?

Hello!

You could just use the "lock phone" option.Its in the menu when you press the power button and it can be set to "automatic" as well. It won't unlock until you enter the security code. By default this code is "12345".

But I also have a question: is it possible to lock the keypad using python (programmatically).

Thats not realy an option for me. I have the phone in the hand, close the slider and it should be keylocked. I open the slider and it is unlocked. That is how it works and that is good.
The only problem is that Nokia allows to unlock with the two softkeys on the front, not covered by slider mechanism. You put it in the pocket, and some it unlocks an starts some calls. The only thing I want is that the only possibility to unlock it, is to open the slider. Normally that is just a little switch in the firmware, but Nokia has to place it there.

I tested some python examples.
Every example could be ended by pressing the red hang up (No) Key.
Is it possible to disable that?

You could probably use "appuifw.app.focus" to check if the app has focus and if not, use the appswich module to get focus. I havent tried it my self yet so im not sure it works but its an idea.

But it will be available for all in the end of this week
I'll announce it here

Oh yeah, I forgot that

I also solved the keylocking with python. I just use the keypress module to simultate the keys (Power key -> Down key -> Select key).

Would you share the keycode for the powerkey with us? I can't find it...

thanks ;-)
