When I connect a vanilla USB keyboard to my 101, I'd expect all keys to function normally. However, using applications like Terminal Emulator and IrssiConnectBot, I noticed that only a subset of the keys work. In particular, control keys do not work. In TE, control generates a NUL; in ICB, control+whatever generates whatever as if the control modifier were not used.
Am I missing a crucial setting or specific driver? I'm running Archos supplied Android (at rev. 80) in dualboot wirh UrukDroid.
(It *is* appropriate to post questions here? The forum topic includes Q&A but the posting software warns that I'm voiloating the forum rules. Confusing.)
Hmm. Nobody using an USB keyboard?
I think this is a case of android not natively supporting this keys on a keyboard, some cases have special values in android like the esc key etc while others might have no use, but you should beable to map this keys in the likes of the terminal emulator etc
A lot of information about this problem can be found in http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=369 .
Basically, it seems that the Android keyboard support is not (yet) up to supporting 'real' keyboards in a decent way.
It also seems that Honeycomb does a better job -- maybe the keyboard driver could be backported?
Yes it seems the keyboad layout isn't defined for all keycodes...
I recently was searching for this and another problem too (2nd post)...
most promising sounds this:
http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/keymaps_keyboard_input.html
But i don't know about the compilation yet... had no time sadly.
But perhaps fdie67 knows...
Let me know if u figured it out
Would there be a chance that UrukDroid can provide a better keyboard driver?

want chinese natural handwriting recognition, but don't have $1000 for a wacom cintiq graphics tablet? google to the rescue. This is another one of those "why didn't I think of it before?" things whose answer a couple years ago was simply because it wasn't possible nor practical.
I know, microsoft pocket pc has had the Transcriber function for over 10yrs, but the english version couldn't recognize chinese, and the asian ime cabs, well, the largest ones i could find had writing surfaces of about a square centimeter, try using that with a stylus! Almost as frustrating as using a regular wacom on a Windows onscreen Handwriting Recognition drawing pad, that is if you can manage to get it installed on windows.
Requirement:
1. Android Tablet or phone.
2. free gPen writing program from android market, plus Google PinYin IME,
3. Instant Message program of your choice
4. WiFi/internet
Maybe I couldn't find the answer because I can't write much chinese, don't use IM much, and until I got the 7" android tablet, only had the 1cm IME on my WinMo phone.
The free android market SCUT gPen program on the tablet gives you a 4"x4" writing area, can toggle to full screen if you like, and has very fast and accurate writing recognition. I'm using it with the Hanping Chinese Dictionary for offline chinese learning
As for IM, i tried skype (too big), Evernote(60mb limit), DropBox(no IM), Fring(no pc, huh?), YahooMessenger(delay/offline issues), LiveMessenger(delay/offline issues), finally settling with Palringo, which works pretty fast on both android and PC. When I finish a sentence on my tablet, I right click on PC to copy to clipboard, and paste whereever i want.
So, my current setup involves, Palringo IM(free), 7"dellStreak(refurb under $100-$200), gPen (free), and Wifi. I suppose the cheaper ePad ($70 Android ipad on ebay) would work too... hell, even if only using my HD2, this combo is still way better than any PenPower or Wacom Graphics Tablet out there just for chinese handwriting.
I'm still a noob with regards to android and IM in general, since I'm still dualbooting the HD2 (90% on WM6.5). So here're my questions:
1. Anyone know of an easier IM program to copy/paste the writing over WiFi?
2. How well do those ebay $2-$20 capacitive pen work for writing? (are they all created equal?) (if anyone has any experience of it on the Streak7 or Samsung Tab?)
3. Recommendation for other drawing programs that'll work over wifi/IM ?
Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro now has Chinese handwriting recognition built-in.

Moving to Q&A
Problem solved (?)
This is an interesting topic that had until now escaped my attention. I will risk a scold.
Maybe we can use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.teamprof.WifiHandwritePadPro
(Better use unified remote as described in edit2, below in this same post)
This program uses your android device as input. It does not recognize characters, it doesn't serve as drawing pad. I just gets characters from your android device and sends them to your PC. It is up to you to get a chinese input for your android, first, so you can use this software for chinese.
wifi handwrite pad uses a propietary program to link to windows and linux. This eliminates the need of IM and one copy paste in your scheme.
EDIT:
There are several chinese ime. For instance, sogou. It can recognize drawings into chinese characters, a la pleco. It is free. Pair with wifi handwrite pad your favorite pc-mobile input link and you have a character recognizer in your android powered device
Heck, I wish this existed 2 years ago. hahaha.
EDIT2:
Maybe you will want to try Unified Remote for android instead of the other app. Because it is cheaper, first. It also supports many other functions. This latter advantage might have a 5 minute configuration penalty (learning curve) attached. Works like a charm too
EDIT3:
You can use Google chinese input (IME), since it is english friendly. Sougou is far better, but the interface is in 中文 only
I know this is an old thread but I am interested in something that can do this now. I've been buying expensive devices to input Chinese characters for my parents but they keep breaking. We have extra Android tablets and would be very interested in a way to provide input from Android in the form of Chinese characters onto their Windows 10 PC.
just want to help all Chinese linux users with handwriting input as a redemption for my using everything open source all these years. Download KDE Connect at both ends. Find a handwriting app and install in your android phone. Use remote input via your phone.
Hi all! I am not (yet) a real developer, but I know my things around Android and Linux. I've read an article about using an Apple Magic Trackpad in Ubuntu 10.10 and it seemed that the 'synaptics' driver for mice supported up to 10 finger detection on the Apple Magic Trackpad without additional alterations.
On the webtop (which I believe contains a not-so-fully-fledged version of ubuntu 9) the Apple Magic Trackpad works only as a pointer-movement-device and clicking only works with the physical click. There is no right click or scroll whatsoever. When I opened the xorg.conf just to look at the current settings I saw that the driver 'mouse' was currently used so I changed it to 'synaptics', but nothing changed.
My linux knowledge includes compiling a kernel, busybox commands, but drivers are still some kind of mystery to me.
Would anyone be so kind as to verify that the webtop mode does contain the 'synaptics' driver? And if so, how can it be that there is no difference in mouse pointer behaviour after changing the config file? I hope someone else is facing the same problem, or has a spare Magic Trackpad to play with to help me out... Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I've already read some stuff about this question in here, but I haven't found the answer yet.
I have the Apple Keyboard from my iMac and I would like to use it with my TF. It connects but after that nothing happens. Is there any way to make it work?
(One more thing: it has a Portuguese layout...)
To the ones saying I should buy the keyboard dock: I run the whole Lisbon (capital) and there isn't a single one for sale.
Thanks in advance.
Your post is too vague to really start troubleshooting. Is the keyboard USB or Bluetooth? I'm assuming Bluetooth because you stated you don't have the dock which has the USB port...
So assuming you are using bluetooth:
Once you pair/connect the keyboard up, you have to MANUALLY select it from your list of keyboards so the OS knows what to get input from.
Apple is also known for using proprietary protocols to make things work so they don't work on other equipment. A keyboard shouldn't be difficult to work with.
Sorry for the lack of information.
Yes, it is a Bluetooth keyboard. It connects, but after that nothing happens. And the keyboard isn't listed in the "Input Methods". (I think it is like this, I use Android in Portugues)

Then it didn't sync properly. You may have to go into Bluetooth settings and select additional profiles. It should list a HID device or something... and be listed in your keyboard list..
Another thing, sometimes when new keyboards are installed, you have to go to language and input and enable it before it'll appear in the list.
EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4
Asus Transformer - ICS

I've checked Language and Input, it isn't there. It recognizes it as a keyboard and has the Input Method profile activated.
(And thanks for your help )
I have seen previous posts on this and the Apple keyboard and mouse will probably not work. Apple has changed something in the Bluetooth protocol so it wont be recognized as a 100% compatible Bluetooth device. That is why it will only work on a Mac or a in Windows with the Apple boot camp drivers.
is it possible that the keyboard still thinks it is paired to the Computer and therefore may not pair with another machine. This is just from research I did when trying to make the keyboard work with my Windows 7 PC. I tested it on work windows PC, then it wouldn't pair with Home windows PC. I took out batteries for a few mins then it worked with correct drivers.
try unpair the keyboard from Computer just to see if it will pair to the Transformer. in the long term this may not be suitable for you if you want to use with your PC and Tablet....
Ultimately, as mentioned above, it may need further driver support that is not available for the Transformer,
good luk
I tried using the Apple Keyboard myself via Bluetooth on both the Motorola Xoom and the Asus TF.....both gave exactly the same symptoms as the OP described.
You can get as far as selecting the passphrase/keycode in order to pair it and it's all looking rosy at that point but then......nothing.
I'm sure Apple has gimped it so you can only use it with their own hardware. Yet another reason why I won't use their kit. I want to choose what I do with the kit I own, not what Apple want to do with the kit I own. Frustrating at times.
I'd like to control an Android mouse cursor with the camera and hand-tracking (or a colored LED), just moving my hands, it should work as if I had plugged in a real mouse.
After a long extensive search, I only found this app that does exactly what I want, but it's head tracking based, so it's no use for me: [MouSense for Android]
The funny thing is that there're a pletora of hand tracking solutions like this for PC/Mac/Linux with full source code avaible, I'm surprised no one has ever made one for Android, I found some hand gesture recognizers, but I need to control the whole device, not just detect a limited amount of hand gestures.
I bet many disabled people would benefit from it, like controlling an Android device connected to a tv. Can anyone help me or find a solution (I tried REALLY hard), please? I'd be very grateful if you can help me or even just suggest a solution, thanks!
Android Keyboard Issues
Hello. I am a new Android user who has purchased an RCA Viking Pro 10 2-in-1 Android Laptop running Android 6.0 with kernel version 3.18.22(not rooted). I use it to work on various projects on the go, offline about 95% of the time. I'm having some problems regarding the keyboard and cannot seem to root it. I would appreciate any help someone could offer.
My device is labeled as RCT6K03W13-Android6.0-v1.15.0-M00 and runs Android 6.0 kernel version 3.18.22. KingRoot fails to discover a rooting strategy, then tries anyway but fails. Please note that I have no other computer and only limited computer access.
The biggest issue involves to two cmd buttons that flank the spacebar. Pressing them opens Google App for a voice search, which I never use. This minimizes the app that I was using, starts google app, then minimizes that to show the search bar on the desktop (which I would also like to go away). Then a popup tells me that I'm not connected to the internet. Since I rarely am, this is extremely annoying. If I wanted to run a web search I would open Chrome myself. I certainly wouldn't want the results to appear in Google App, which doesn't work nearly as well. I blame RCA for poor design, placing hotkeys at the bottom of the keyboard where they're likely to be pressed accidentally (it is a small keyboard, after all).
I would like to remap the left and right Cmd buttons to the left and right mouse buttons. I tried External Keyboard Helper, but it can't remap the command buttons and won't remap anything to the mouse buttons anyway. The Viking Pro includes a touchpad mouse without buttons, which is fine for most Android users, but I intend to work extensively with Linux ports such as AndrOpen Office and GIMP Inkscape, and they require precision when dragging and dropping small objects.
Also, the two finger touchpad touch that's meant to simulate a right mouse button click works as a back button instead. I already have one of those on my screen and one on my keyboard, I certainly don't need a third. What I do need is a right mouse button. It should simulate a long press and/or the right button.
Unfortunately GIMP Inkscape and Pelya's linux translation layer don't run on Android 6, so I need to either run Linux Deploy, which requires ROOT, or go all out and just install Linux(perhaps Ubuntu Phone), which requires unlocking my boot manager. Perhaps I should have just bought a Linux Netbook instead, but the tablet was cheap and something about Android attracted me to it. I thought I would be able to find more g featured Linux ports, but Google did to good of a job when they monetized the package manager and locked out root access. I would think running x-11 over the framebuffer would be easy, and that people would port current versions of LibreOffice, Scribus, Inkscape, Blender, ext. I guess linux users are sore about google stealing Linux's thunder when they released Android just as Linux on phones, tablets, and netbooks was gaining traction.
As an old DOS gamer and amateur Linux programmer, I'm not averse to manually editing cfg files (or to setting jumpers to configure my hardware). Unfortunately, I'm new to Android and have limited internet access. Any help someone could offer to a 90s geek with out-of-date computer skills due to some legal problems would be greatly appreciated (the empty wallet hardly helps things).
Sincerely
