BLE HID Keyboard Android

Hello, I am trying to control the smart phone function while making my device as HID keyboard, but It seems that the soft keyboard (smart phone on screen keyboard) clashing with the HID keyboard.

Connection between device and smart phone is ok. Once after connected, I am unable to use soft keyboard. Please help to solve this issue on Android 4.4.2/3 version.

Thanks,

/Ash

  • @Ash: I just tested here and couldn't find the option to choose to turn off hardware keyboard as in the turorial. Maybe it's only applied for Nexus device not on my Samsung S4. However, if you only plan to use the media key, and if you configured the Report Map characteristic correctly, Andoird will detect that and will still show the on-screen keyboard. You can have a look at this example to know how to send media key.
