You said .kcm editing should have effect. To make things clear - I only need to edit the droidmote.kcm is /data/system/devices/keychars or should I create a custom.kcm file?
Editing the droidmote.kcm file makes no effect for me.

I'm a 100% sure I'm properly preparing the files.

How soon can you add a Polish character map to the client? :)

Thanks
Perhaps I have not explained well

before i will made an update to the Client, the Server will never receive this characters Ą ą Ć ć Ę ę Ł ł Ń ń Ś ś Ź ź Ż ż

For Now you can test only a generic customization of the default kcm with the characters supported by the Client.

Example:

In the Client you press A and in the Server device you will see Ą becasue you have added in the droidmote.kcm the unicode code U0104 instead of the old character A

Code: Select all

shift, capslock:                    'A'
changed in

Code: Select all

shift, capslock:                    '\u0104'

I think I understand it just fine.

Even if I edit the droidmote.kcm like this:

From this:

Code: Select all

key A {
    label:                              'A'
    base:                               'a'
    shift, capslock:                    'A'
}
To this:

Code: Select all

key A {
    label:                              'T'
    base:                               't'
    shift, capslock:                    'T'
}
It has no effect. If I press a, it still displays "a". I don't get it sorry. Shouldn't it display "t" just like I edited? Editing .kl file works just fine, but .kcm doesn't work at all.

Can we discuss this using a quicker form of communication? Please PM me about this if you are interested or message me on https://messenger.com/t/szynkapta

try this:


From this:

Code: Select all

key A {
    label:                              'A'
    base:                               'a'
    shift, capslock:                    'A'
}
To this:

Code: Select all

key A {
    label:                              'A'
    base:                               't'
    shift, capslock:                    'A'
}
You can't change the label otherwise you not receive the event when you press a
tested now on my Shield TV and when i press a i have t

if for you not work, maybe there is an error in the kcm file that you modified and Android by default switch on the generic.kcm
restore my original kcm and change only the character a in t
reinstall droidmote server to restore my original files.

Just tried. No effect. Also edited generic.kcm and it won't do anything as well.
Tomorrow I'll have more time for more proper tests.

So is it possible for you to test if \u104 character works? Can you test?

Hi,
I successfully done what you suggested,but it's not what I want.

Can I help you somehow with updating the client to support the Polish diacritics?

For now it seems like the only thing I can do is give you the unicode symbols:

Code: Select all

ą:	'\u0105'
Ą:	'\u0104'
	
ę: '\u0119'
Ę: '\u0118'

ć: '\u0107'
Ć: '\u0106'

ł: '\u0142'
Ł: '\u0141'

ń: '\u0144'
Ń: '\u0143'

ś:	'\u015b'
Ś:	'\u015a'

ź: '\u017a'
Ź: '\u0179'

ż: '\u017c'
Ż: '\u017b'
I've also noticed that backslash "\" is unsupported by the client as well. Can you add it too?

Let me know if I can help somehow. I'd like to get this done as soon as possible.
Thanks.
