Hello,

For a project of mine which uses Android tablets for outdoor motorbike activities, I uses physical buttons on those devices (Crosscall Core-T4 and Cleyver XTremtab8). Each has 2 physical buttons, with keycodes that are not supported by Qt (5 and 6).

Keycodes are usable if I use Android Studio, and I can use them if I build my own Qt for Android from source, after patching androidjniinput.c and qnamespace.h to map them.

My question is : should I submit a patch/feature request or should I keep building from source with my own branch, as that only concern only 2 devices ?

I have four android keycodes : 0x121, 0x122 (for Cleyver) , 0x1a0 and 0x1a1 (for Crosscall).

I locally patch as following :

• qnamespace.h

  enum Key {
  [...]
  KEY_CLEYVER_F1 = 0x01002122, // unused Qt keycode map for Cleyver XTremTab8 F1 Key
  KEY_CLEYVER_F2 = 0x01002121, // unused Qt keycode map for Cleyver XTremTab8 F2 Key
  [...]
  } 

• androidjniinput.c as

  static QKeyCombination mapAndroidKey(int key)
      {
  [...]
            switch (key) {
            case 0x00000122: // XTREMTAB f1
                       return Qt::KEY_CLEYVER_F1 ;
  [...]
  }
