Type text with REST API #1

Open boiler opened 4 years ago

boiler commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to add support for typing text via REST API ?

ilker-aktuna commented 4 years ago

It is possible but what kind of use do you need it for ? I need to understand the requirement to implement

ilker-aktuna commented 4 years ago

please check new version (1.5) which will be available on Google Play store in a few hours.

Is typing supported in version 1.5?

I think the idea of typing support would be great, because all typing apps for the TV are so bad, because for writing one letter you have to press like 10 buttons. And its a pita to retype passwords for accounts from a password manager.

The support for text would make it possible to create an keyboard app for smartphone that can be used to type on the TV.

Ah, my bad. Overlooked that in the readme.

ilker-aktuna commented 5 months ago

so , are you happy with the solution ?

JohannesFleischer commented 5 months ago

There seems to be a problem with special characters when they are encoded in the usual way.

I guess that this is true for all encoded values like for example german Umlaute (ä,ö,ü) etc., but i havent tested that yet. So a more general solution would be the best i think.

so what do you suggest ?
