soft keyboard doesn't work #21

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
As I am using a HTC Hero I only have a soft keyboard, which is not recognized 
at all. I love 
nethack and really long for the chance to play it on my phone :(

It's supposed to be possible to bring up the soft keyboard with some button 
(you may
have to map "Search Button" to "Virtual Keyboard" through the "Preferences" 
screen).
But, even if that works, it is quite limiting in that it appears that the 
virtual
keyboard has no way of accessing the Ctrl commands (like ^D to kick), and the 
format
of the screen also would make it hard to play. The next version which I'm 
working on
now will have a much better soft keyboard and have the message/status bars 
separate
from the map, so hopefully that will work for you once it's out.

I uploaded a preview build of the next version, with much improved virtual 
keyboard.
It's here: http://nethack-android.googlecode.com/files/NetHack-1.2.1-alpha.apk. 
It
should be playable (for touchscreen users, much more so than the previous 
version),
but still has some bugs and issues I want to sort out before officially 
releasing it.
If you try it out, please let me know if you have any simple suggestions on how 
to
make the virtual keyboard more useful.

It 'closes unexpectedly' (I would call it a crash :)

OK, odd. If you have the SDK installed and can run it with "abd logcat", it 
would be
good to see if there is any useful information in the output spew. After having 
fixed
the previous issue that could cause crashes on startup (on Droid, for example), 
I
don't really have a clue for what could be causing it this time. Thanks for 
having
tried it out though.

Yes, what happens is that it opens up an empty screen with a cursor in the top 
left 
corner, and a soft keyboard at the bottom. Then I get the "Sorry! The 
application 
NetHack (process com.nethackff) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. 
[Force 
close]" window over it.

And no, I don't have an SDK installed. If you tell me its easy to install and 
use for 
what you suggest I shall try it however.

Tried it onmy HTC hero too, the game simply crashes and do nothing upstart. 
I'll try
installing the SDK to give you an hand on this one.

The new version 1.2.1 is out. It has much better virtual keyboard support, as 
mentioned earlier. Sure hope it doesn't crash on startup (though it might on 
some Samsungs, and perhaps some versions of Cyanogenmod), but if it does, it's 
better to keep track of that as a separate bug.
