hmm,

ok i see it's not possible, thats a pitty for me. I guess it has something to do with the sandbox-principle of Android, right?

nevertheless thank you for the response(s)!

Anybody have an idea of how this might work in Android 2.2. This platform no longer supports IWindowManager and KeyPress.isDown() etc... I am really struggling to get this to work in the latest platform.

HI:

Code: Select all

  private void sendKeyEvent(String event) {
  int eventCode = Integer.parseInt(event);
  long now = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
  Log.i("SendKeyEvent", event);
  try {
  KeyEvent down = new KeyEvent(now, now, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, eventCode, 0);
  KeyEvent up = new KeyEvent(now, now, KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, eventCode, 0);
  (IWindowManager.Stub
  .asInterface(ServiceManager.getService("window")))
  .injectKeyEvent(down, true);
  (IWindowManager.Stub
  .asInterface(ServiceManager.getService("window")))
  .injectKeyEvent(up, true);
  } catch (RemoteException e) {
  Log.i("Input", "DeadOjbectException");
  }
  }


you can find this source from [/frameworks/base/cmds/input/src/com/android/commands/input/Input.java].Though google does't support this any longer,you can use it and make the source successfully.I have't tried it yet,but i have heared somebody have prove it.

Here is a way to push key events:

This seems to be local only to the application (i.e. not at the system level). Thought it might be useful for some.

can i simulate power button?

hi,
your tutorials are very useful.in this i have doubts.What about IWindowManager and ServiceManager in this program.it shows that these cannot be resolved.is it an user defined class or interface.i have to simulate power button and lock the phone.is it possible.Please guide me

Hi plusMinus,

I know I am posting on a very old post...

But I want to use the approach you have suggested here...
but I think we do not have access to IWindowManager or ServiceManager as a developer.

I am using Ginger Bread and want to send key events to the top application from my service. Is this possible.
