Python and ASUS Eee Pad Transformer: keyboard problem #619

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run r5 python console on ASUS  Eee Pad Transformer. Try to enter '(' or ')' 
character via dock stantion keyboard. You will get strange escape sequences 
instead of normal characters. Same with other keys (tab, for example).

OS: Android 3.2

I have the same problem, but on a Xoom using 3.2.1, with a Logitech "Tablet 
Keyboard for Android 3.0+"

Oddly, all the software keyboards I have installed do the same thing (stock 
Android one, the Hacker Kbd, and Swype)

Same problem. I fixed it at one time but now I cant remember what I did to fix 
it. 

Transformer prime...

I went back into my settings and disabled "Enable trace input" under the input 
settings for the Asus keyboard. This fixed the problem. I can now type (){}[] 
symbols into the terminal. 

Im not sure what the defaults are but here are other settings that might be 
non-default. 

Word reselection: Checked
Next Word Prediction: Not Chekced
AutoCorrection: Off
Enable trace Input: Unchecked
Auto-Accept: Not checked
Vibrate on Keypress: Not checked
Sound on Kepress: Not checked
Auto-Capitolization: Not checked
Auto punctuation: checked

I also disabled all keyboards under Keyboard and Input methods except "Android 
Keyboard" and "Asus Keyboard". I'm also using the version of SL4A that is 
titled "Scripting Layer for Android 45x Tablet Remix".

Hope this helps someone else.

turns out I made a mistake, the way that I enabled the keyboard was under the 
terminal window, I disabled "physical keyboard", then reenabled it and that 
allows me to type symbols. If the soft keyboard is in the way, you can just 
minimize it.

Yes... I found that disabling and re-enabling the physical keyboard solved this 
problem.

I tried all the above with the following results - 

1)Downloaded & installed release 5 SL4A( latest ) still didn't fix keyboard 
problem.

2)Did the disabled "Enable trace input" setting in the input settings screen 
and that did not fix keyboard problem.

3)Did the enable / disable keyboard and proper keystrokes worked, however, view 
changed to portrait view and then icon for enable/disable keyboard no longer 
operational.

Would be nice to know exact process necessary to get this to work right.....any 
volunteers who have this successfully working willing to submit it ?
