Peripheral physical keyboard

Hello fellow developers with the launch of Q10 right in front of us, I want to maximize the user experience for the q10. Instead of the weather, the device name is z10 or q10, I want to detect in time the physical or virtual keyboard device.

How can I achieve this?

Just found!

In HardwareInfo:

bool isPhysicalKeyboardDevice[read-only]

Indicates if the device is a physical keyboard device or not.

Since: BlackBerry 10.0.0

  • Passport system: Add support for scrolling through the physical keyboard

    Hi guys,.

    as you know peripheral Pasport is the new support feature: scrolling in the list view/Scroll through the physical keyboard. It seems that this function should work automatically, but it is not working at all in my application. It works only partially to control the display of Web pages and only on the pages of the subsites of my web content.
    Looks as the root cause of this issue is the list view must focus to handle keyboard events. OK, so the workaround can be call requestFocus() on the list view. It's a job but only until I do not touch the other control or scroll this list via the screen point of view! Or for example my app can show popup by clicking on list view and when this popup will be rejected the focus won't return to the display of the list...

    So my question is what good way to add support for this feature? Do I really need to play with requestFocus()? Or maybe there's a simple way to always keep the focus on the display of the list?
    I really need help.

    I've added a few features such as

    requestFocusForScrolling()

    then get the signal of this active tab has changed, you can call this function to get the new focus

    or on NavigationPane if returning to onPopTransitionEnded () calling the requestFocus on page function now on top

    In my Pages, I always have a few features added like connect(), disconnect() cleanUp() init() and now also at the request of focus. In a few pages, these functions are empty, but I can use them in the generic functions where I only got one Page

    It always depends on the field with the development: think of an Image when you change the size of gestures touch on keyboard or take a look at sales-charts where you "scroll" in the months of keyboard

    Same pages may also have ScrollView and/or one or several ListView - it's do you stunts where is the update for keyboard gestures.

  • Suggestions of screen with the physical keyboard?

    Y at - it a setting or a market app that would show suggestions of words when you use the physical keyboard?

    Yes with the physical keyboard. In the settings I see prediction of words and the suggestion for software keyboard but no settings under hardware keyboard. However, always mine it on hardware, is right out of the box without changing setting. My Droid and Droid 2 have both made also. You have these settings controlled on the software keyboard settings? Mine seems to follow these settings for two keyboards.

  • Physical keyboard not witing the normal letters

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Slatebook x 2. When I am using the physical keyboard, it is not written the letter a o (Swedish) but on the contrary in writing the Norwegian/Danish versions (which are blue/green on the keys of the keyboard). My language is defined in Swedish in settings. How can I change the settings of the keyboard to write normal letters?

    Thank you.

    Figured it out myself, the command was Ctrl + space

  • How to activate predictive text on the physical keyboard on x 2 Android Slate10

    Hello

    I just bought a 10 x 2 with 4.3 installed Android slate. I want to know how to disable the predictive entry that appears when I use the physical keyboard (or the called party base).

    When I use the Tablet without the base. The predicitve entry does not appear because I disabled it under "language settings &", but it seems that the same setting does not apply when I connected the tablet at the base.

    Help, please. The pop-up window is really annoying and kill my otherwise wonderful experience with this tablet.

    For example when I want google information on this product, I typed Slate10 but won't allow not predictive entry hit me beyond Slate1, because they do not have Slate10 on the list so I had to hit a space and come back to put in the '0'.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Irene

    Hi, I had just accidentally discovered the solution!
    'Shift + Enter' will toggle the prediction of input when you use the keyboard/base.

  • Spectrum x 360: physical keyboard and Japanese IME

    Hi all

    It is the first time that I post on this forum and I thank in advance those who would come here to help.

    I suspect that my problem is very special, if not unique. In fact, after a few days of digging through the internet, I have not found a single reference to my problem, it is:

    my hardware keyboard is Italian, but I often need to write in Japanese, so I installed the Japanese language and the Japanese IME input mode. But for the life of me I can't have the physical keyboard to type Japanese characters. Japanese IME is active, the romaji entry appears, and that's all. I can't go to the katakana or hiragana input.

    If I try to open the Windows IME options this opens a second and shut (as it had crashed).

    Same behavior when I try to access these options from the control panel. I tried to uninstall and reinstall 2 or 3 times without success.

    In any case, the touch keyboard works perfectly with the Japanese IME. I can get into any kind of Japanese characters.

    What can I do to type in Japanese also on the physical keyboard?

    I solved it by installing ATOK2015 input method. It is a proprietary application that serves as an alternative to Windows Japanese IME. Then by chance, I put the Japanese system and Windows locale IME started working too. Anyway now I use ATOK (much better), so I don't care anymore.

    I thank very you much for your time and your efforts.

    Keep up the good work. I really appreciate the spectrum of x 360. It is the best laptop I've ever seen.

  • HP Pavilion x 2-10-n113dx: spell check with virtual keyboard, but none with physical keyboard

    On a HP Pavilion x 2-10-n113dx with the home edition of Windows 10 (64-bit).

    What software/browser used, when it is attached to the keyboard (in desktop mode), I noticed 1) when you use my virtual keyboard it is a bar of spellchecker (which offers options to spelling/words) at the top of the virtual keyboard, but 2) when you use the physical keyboard, it doesn't seem to be any tool/service spell.

    Is there anyway to get the spell using the physical keyboard? When I tap on the physical keyboard, virtual keyboard and its spellchecker bar is hidden.

    Hey @locacher,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! This is a great place to find solutions and help our community!

    I understand that you have questions about the Auditors of spelling with the physical keyboard. I'd be happy to help you with that.

    A spell checker does not come standard with the physical keyboard. You can still install a third party. You can search google App 'Spell Checker' or something alone those lines, however, we won't not preinstalled on the laptop to the physical keyboard.

    Please hold me.

    See you soon.

  • Physical keyboard of blackBerry Smartphones does not

    Just get a private from t-mobile a few days ago. Today all of a sudden the physical keyboard has stopped working. I can use it to scroll, but not to enter text. It's like the screen keyboard we does not recognize that I want to use the physical and remains open when I return at the top of the physics. I started in safe mode and checked the setting for physical keyboard gestures to ensure its on. Still will not work. I started and shut down several times. Still no joy.

  • Physical keyboard of blackBerry Smartphones does not not on new Torch 9800

    Hi, I got a new BB torch 9800 a few days ago and the physical keyboard does not work (and has never worked) when I slip out.  Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that I have to activate, or is likely to have a defect of the device?  (By the way, I downloaded the last updated and rebooted and took out the battery etc...)  Everything else seems to work very well.  Any help is appreciated!  Thank you

    @odonnec, if you have removed the battery while the phone is turned on and the keyboard still does not work, it would be a hardware defect and you should talk to your business to get a phone that works.

    @mikebrazil, try to remove the battery while your phone is on the replace and then a few seconds later.
