Android Question Capture Keyboard "Special" Click Event

[Marcos Alves]

Hi all,

some Android keyboards have "special keys" to pick gifs and images those are incorporated to them... clicking in these keys, some applications have the capacity to capture/identify the command and pick a image file, doing the correct treatment (for example, put into an imagebox). How can I capture the keyboard event and do the same in B4A?

I haven't seen any documentation about this feature. If you find a Java implementation for this I can help you port it.

Hello @Erel . I'll proceed some tests here in order to find how this occurs... could help If you give me some example about how to capture generic "keypresses" and consume the event... I think that somehow a code with directory/filename is given to activity when pressing these special keys, and the app redirects the event to populate an imageview. As always, having a result I'll post here to help the community.
