User interface compatibility with android tv /remote

[Japetusgr]

Running the emulator on an android tv box makes the use of a mouse a necessity.
Would be nice to be able to use just the remote control to access options/menus/loading games.

The remote works just fine for me, what kind of tv box do you have?
The ui should be fully controllable using a remote and/or a gamepad. Of course to play games you'll need to use a gamepad.

Hi, as I just tested it, it is the 'menu' button that doesn't work. If I press 'options' with mouse, afterwards I can navigate the menu with the remote. I am using a 'Kii pro' box.

Also, once inside a menu, you cannot select an option or toggle selection and close the menu just by pressing the OK button.

Hmm it seems the remote control doesn't map correctly the android keys.
I'll need your help to run a key logger to know the key codes of your remote, please use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.keyeventdisplay (or anything similar) and press the following keys on your remote:

• menu
• back (or exit)
• up
• down
• left
• right

then add here the results.

Menu: code=82 scancode=125
Back 4 1
U 19 103
D 20 108
L 21 105
R 22 106

Thanks, I added the menu key, please download this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzzpb2GB8vXiY1E4RDdnQWpMa00/view?usp=sharing test apk and check if it works.

Thanks for the fix, it works now.
There is however still limited functionality in navigating menus and trying to make selections. There is not for instance a way to select or deselect a tick under eg. Options>general. Pressing OK does nothing. Also in order to close a menu you have to press back on the remote, there is no way you can press the back button on screen.
Anyways, thanks again very much for your prompt responds!

Thanks, it will take a while until I'll find a workaround.
