B4J Question Java for Send keys

Hi there...

For reading keys in java inline code using this:

B4X: 
Sub KeyPressed_Filter (e As Event)

        Dim jo As JavaObject = e
        Dim EventType As String = jo.RunMethodJO("getEventType", Null).RunMethod("getName", Null)
        Log(EventType)

        Select Case EventType
            Case "KEY_PRESSED"
                Dim keycode As String = jo.RunMethod("getCode", Null)
                Log(keycode)
        end select

end sub

When sending... how is possible the same "capture/record" of keys to send... ?

This for example takes Control key as "CONTROL" is it possible to send as "CONTROL" and press control (not as int keycode) ?
which is the magic word... getCode --> SendCode... with robot...?
B4X: 
Dim keycode As String = jo.RunMethod("getCode", Null)

Thanks in advance...
I do not want to use jnativehook for that.. only... is better to java inline if it is possible ofcourse...

Found a list with "int" and text (correspondence of getCode)

Java Keyboard Keycodes list

Can anybody provide me with the Key Code integer list for individual keys used on the Keyboard for the KeyEvent class in java? I want to create a dropdown list of all the keyboard keys for the use...
stackoverflow.com
(is it the right list?)

So I will create a map... and search it every time i want to perform/produce a stroke..

But for the history isn't it a way to send it like you capture it ?

You want to send keyinput to your own app?
Click to expand...
no generally, at any app in foreground.

actually I want different routine for press... different for release... but if it is possible what i am capturing (for ex. CTRL)... to no need conversion... the same to send...

jAWTRobot - invoke keyboard and mouse events, etc...

This library started out as a simple wrapper for Oracle's java.awt.Robot package but it evolved out of hand into a library of general utilities. Some of these functions appear to duplicate functionality already present in B4J however this library is designed to be used in both UI apps and non-UI...

I do not know a way without using this. I guess it is using jnativehook internally which you don´t want.

...hmm... let me "explain-and-reverse" the "stuff" I need...

First... well... I am getting the Text Explanation of key... with code of #1 post.

I have found a java code that Pressing and Releasing keys but with "int" code of keys ... :-( - I want to maximize compatibility between them ---> but one is text-explain and the other direct "int" code of key... :-(

For example: the java code of pressing key... to the foreground app (but with int)

inline java code that works...
B4X: 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
public class mykbclasses{
       public void KKeyPress(int ccode) {
            
               try {
               Robot robot = new Robot();
               
               robot.keyPress(ccode);
          
                 } catch (AWTException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         } 
}

scenario-1
I need to get the text-explain (i have this) and press with text-explain (i havent this)

scenario-2
I need to get "int" code of keys (not having that) and press with "int" code (i have that)

One of both scenarios will work for me...
