Controlling 3650 with a PC keyboard

[btnokdev]

Hi,

I've developed an easy application to full control de phone with a PC keyboard via BT wireless technology. I can map the whole phone keypad with a key on the PC.
Then, in the phone there is a Symbian application that acts as a "driver" that receives the data (through BT) from the keyboard, and depending on what key receives, it generates an event with Symbian function
TInt SendEventToWindowGroup(TInt aIdentifier, const TWsEvent& aEvent);
to the current window that has the focus.

I can navigate through the phone pressing keys on the PC, and I can control any kind of phone application. I can also control my MIDlets (notepad or sms I did), but now I am developing a MIDlet draw application, with low-level api, using

public void keyPressed(int keyCode)
{
switch (keyCode)
{
case Canvas.KEY_NUM2:
//do something...
case Canvas.KEY_NUM4:
//do something...
...
...
}
}

Then, when I run the application the remote keyboard only can control the High-level components of the MIDlet, it is, the LSK and RSK and navigate across the options displayed, but I can't control the drawing cursor in the midlet of the canvas display. It seems that the Symbian Event does not arrives at Canvas class.

Do you know how the low-level events are handled? Is there a way to simulate this events? Any idea about how I should generate this events in order to the KeyPressed(keycode) function detects them?


Thanks for any idea!

Have you tried with these gameActions?

switch (getGameAction(keyCode)) {

case UP:

break;


case DOWN:

break;

case LEFT:

break;


case RIGHT:

break;
case FIRE:

actionPerformed();

break;



}

Hi jalev,

yes, it was my first attemps..., but when I saw that this had no success, then I changed to KEY_NUMx and tried again.
But again it didn't work...

It is a pitty because it seems that J2ME low-level applications on the phone are the only ones I can't control with my PC, the others it's possible. I can write fast notes, or play with using the PC keyboard.

If you have any idea of what can I do to avoid this, I would be very grateful for your help.
Thanks!

How could you control N3650 by PC keyboard?

Could you please send me the source, buddy?

I will pray on my knees to you if you can send me this code.

For you to understand my situation.. I work for a company where I have to key in daily status of upto 100 different employees who work under me. The company gave us a sim where it has an application. I have to select the application and it asks my userid and password and I have to key in upto 4 different numbers in several windows and select a submit button where the data is sent to my company. I have boy(helper) who does it for salary, but he keys in atleast 5-10 mistakes everyday. I loose salary and give incorrect data. This data is in my PC. If I can select the menu automatically and keyin the data automatically, I really cannot believe what a huge help you will have done to me.

I programmed SDK 40 to send and receive SMS thru vb.net which means I can program. Is the application finally sending an SMS to the company, I do not know. If so, will the data be encrypted before sending? If so, can I read the application by reverse engineering to use the same encrypt function and send my data by SMS?

Thank you in anticipation. It will really help me a lot.

what i suggest, btnokdev, is that you don't make the comparison with the pre-defined keys.
You should be able to know the keys you press, either from your pc app, or from a simple screen displaying the code each time a key is pressed
