Automagic Forum

I just wanted to thank Desmanto again for helping me work this out. With the addition of coding so the home() function is called instead of the non-working sendKey("HOME") under the SHIELD, I've now got a responsive and reliable remote control through UnifiedRemote, thanks to Automagic. One addition...

That's the problem with fragmentation and with so many company want to be stand out of crowd and create their own standard. It seems like everyone wants to be like Apple now; even Google. You can try to remap existing key to another function. Or use control UI click() to manage that not working par...

Did it only happen in Kodi? If you try the Ctrl+A in other app, such as text editor, can it select all text? I just try sendKey("A", "CTRL_ON") in MiXplorer Text Editor and it is working fine, selecting all text. I did a test in a text editor, and it worked. So, the <Ctrl> part of sendKey("A", "CTR...

Mostly good, apart from a silly little problem. It looks like Kodi and/or NVIDIA SHIELD ignores the "metakey" parameter of sendKey(); sendKey("A", "CTRL_ON") should toggle the audio track, but it merely behaves the same as sendKey("A") that adjusts the audio sync. There seems no way to send an "A" w...

Yay, that's it! Now the HTTP driven keysends are happening very fast, completely responsive for media player and d-pad usage. Thank you so much! I stripped out all the settings of the default keyboard input, which made the whole process simpler. I didn't even think the events would be fired asynchro...

I've included the log of several DPAD_DOWN commands, then a few DPAD_UP commands until complete failure. It's a large log, so I put it elsewhere on the web instead of inline here. https://embernet.com/misc/AutoMagicShieldLog.txt The log shows that each execution gives a "Automagic input method is no...

Thanks! I wondered if a rooted device could get a terminal session going, and I keep forgetting the SHIELD is just an Android device. Anyway... I've gotten it working, having an HTTP page pull send a keycode. It definitely is faster than the root shell command method. However... Two problems, and ma...

I didn't know there is newer version. I thought that nvidia shield must be from some 2013 device, so must be running some older android version. Good to see it has updated to oreo. This is the second and still current SHIELD, released in 2017. They release updates to the OS all the time. In oreo, t...

I read that the following ADB command can be used to enable "Draw over other apps": appops set <package name> SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow I'll have to test this later, as I don't have my SHIELD permanently hooked to my computer. Google, why do you make everything so hard? You're turning into Apple.

What is the current android version of the device? NVIDIA SHIELD 2017 models are currently running Oreo. If I am not wrong, the accessibility service in the nvidia shield is customized already. Try to see if there is another accessibility services already on and try to disable those. Maybe talkback...
