* Improve support for external keyboards.Jeff Brown2010-12-021-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use Vendor ID, Product ID and optionally the Version to locate keymaps and configuration files for external devices. Moved virtual key definition parsing to native code so that EventHub can identify touch screens with virtual keys and load the appropriate key layout file. Cleaned up a lot of old code in EventHub. Fixed a regression in ViewRoot's fallback event handling. Fixed a minor bug in FileMap that caused it to try to munmap or close invalid handled when released if the attempt to map the file failed. Added a couple of new String8 conveniences for formatting strings. Modified Tokenizer to fall back to open+read when mmap fails since we can't mmap sysfs files as needed to open the virtual key definition files in /sys/board_properties/.

* Port Emulator keymaps.Jeff Brown2010-11-231-10/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also added a validation tool for keymaps (not currently integrated into the build system but getting there). This change brings back Android.mk with the intent that it will be used to validate keymaps in a later change. Added some missing keys that are present on phones.

* Added support for full PC-style keyboards.Jeff Brown2010-11-181-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BREAKING CHANGE: Redesigned the key character map format to accomodate full keyboards with more comprehensive suite of modifiers. Old key character maps will not work anymore and must be updated. The new format is plain text only and it not compiled to a binary file (so the "kcm" tool will be removed in a subsequent check-in). Added FULL keyboard type to support full PC-style keyboards. Added SPECIAL_FUNCTION keyboard type to support special function keypads that do not have any printable keys suitable for typing and only have keys like HOME and POWER Added a special VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD device id convention that maps to a virtual keyboard with a fixed known layout. This is designed to work around issues injecting input events on devices whose built-in keyboard does not have a useful key character map (ie. when the built-in keyboard is a special function keyboard only.) Modified several places where events were being synthesized to use the virtual keyboard. Removed support for the "qwerty" default layout. The new default layout is "Generic". For the most part "qwerty" was being used as a backstop in case the built-in keyboard did not have a key character map (probably because it was a special function keypad) and the framework needed to be able to inject key events anyways. The latter issue is resolved by using the special VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD device instead of BUILT_IN_KEYBOARD. Added the concept of a key modifier behavior so that MetaKeyKeyListener can distinguish between keyboards that use chorded vs. toggled modifiers. Wrote more robust key layout and key character map parsers to enable support for new keyboard features and user installable key maps. Fixed a bug in InputReader generating key ups when keys are released out of sequence. Updated tons of documentation. Currently QwertyKeyListener is being used for full keyboards with autotext and capitalization disabled. This mostly works but causes some problems with character pickers, etc. These issues will be resolved in subsequent changes. Change-Id: Ica48f6097a551141c215bc0d2c6f7b3fb634d354
* Add keycodes and meta-key modifiers to support external keyboards.Jeff Brown2010-10-151-0/+22
Added new key maps for external keyboards. These maps are intended to be shared across devices by inheriting the "keyboards.mk" product makefile as part of the device's product definition. One of the trickier changes here was to unwind some code in MetaKeyKeyListener that assumed that only the low 8 bits of the meta key state were actually used. The new code abandons bitshifts in favor of simple conditionals that are probably easier to read anyways. The special meta key state constants used by MetaKeyKeyListener are now (@hide) defined in KeyEvent now so as to make it clearer that they share the same code space even if those codes are not valid for KeyEvents. The EventHub now takes care of detecting the appropriate key layout map and key character map when the device is added and sets system properties accordingly. This avoids having duplicate code in KeyCharacterMap to probe for the appropriate key character map although the current probing mechanism has been preserved for legacy reasons just in case. Added support for tracking caps lock, num lock and scroll lock and turning their corresponding LEDs on and off as needed. The key character map format will need to be updated to correctly support PC style external keyboard semantics related to modifier keys. That will come in a later change so caps lock doesn't actually do anything right now except turn the shiny LEDs on and off... Added a list of symbolic key names to KeyEvent and improved the toString() output for debug diagnosis. Having this list in a central place in the framework also allows us to remove it from Monkey so there is one less thing to maintain when we add new keycodes.
