First Dashboard

So,

I’m jumping into the water here with my first dashboard.

Using the Android TV remote tutorial I’m creating a dashboard for an old Nexus 7 tablet to serve as a remote for my new Sony Bravia TV.

It’s taken a bit of too-ing and fro-ing, but I’m getting closer to what I want it to be.

One caveat, button names.

Is there a summary of all the button names available anywhere?

Most specifically, I’m looking for the name of the button circled in red below:

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Well,

Tried all three.

Back doesn’t really do anything and undo/return get flagged as not proper commands.

Thanks.

This says it “input select”

No it says it is the back button

Input select is second from the top on the left in your picture.

Well, I FUBAR’d: Wanted the Input Select button…

So trying a variety of names, I’m typically getting the error:

Failed to call service remote/send_command. Enum RemoteKeyCode as no value defined for “KEYCODE_XXXX”.

Where can I find the Enum RemoteKeyCode?

Thanks,

Chris

Well,

Digging through the reference tutorial, there was a list of commands.

I tried every one of them to no avail.

I’ve tried most of the commands to no avail.

Next step is to use the remote learn feature. I’m obviously doing something wrong as it keeps spitting at me…
