[Android Apps and Games] HaggleLad:
Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback. Please note that there there is no trickery used in this app. I merely declare in the AndroidManifest.xml that this app is a candidate to be launched with the buttons in question and the Android OS does the rest. I am not a fan of employing dirty hacks to hook buttons as this produces unexpected results and can interfer with other apps. The Opera browser app is an example of exactly one such app, it hacks a number of keys including the search soft key & call button and this is why my app, or indeed any other app that you have legitimately wired to the search soft key or call button, will NOT work within Opera. There is nothing I can do about this myself. I have emailed the development team to let them know of the issues they are causing and its entirely up to them to fix it, or not.

Please note I am hoping to have a long press of the camera button wired up soon using a BroadcastReciever. I am ensuring that I implement this correctly however because I don't want it to interfer with its standard short press operation!

Additional answers below. Really appreciate the feedback, please keep it coming!

Also please consider donating by buying "In-App Toggle Donate" or at least leave 5 stars and comment on the free app's if you can, its much appreciated!

Thanks

I assume you aware you can replace the voice input with my app using defaults or alternatively not select a default so you are presented with a Voice Command/Wifi Toggle option?

The back button is a system button and there is no way to hook it that I know of . If there were it would be a dirty hack and this is not something I'm prepared to investigate at present.

I'm in envy of your Incredible, not an option here in the UK :-( Does it have a camera button?

Please can I emphasise that my app merely toggles wifi ON and OFF. It takes no responsibility for connecting to a network, obtaining an IP address etc. You have stated that my app enables Wifi on your phone, so my app has in-fact worked exactly as expected :-) If your phone is failing to connect to your network then I can only assume that there is some other problem occurring, or as you have mentioned, some other app is causing the issue.

Please see my comments with regards the back button above. Again the trackball is a system button and performs different actions depending on the phones current context. A long press will frequently be the equivalent of long press on the screen, to bring up a context menu. Using hacks as well as handling scenario's like this would be impossible and produce unexpected results. Apologies but I can't implement this.

As above, perhaps don't select a default for the search soft key long press? Sorry the trackball isn't possible.

Hi, I apologise because in my app description I have put "Search Button" when what I really should have put was "Search Soft Key". Unfortunately these aren't the same thing and I am aware that the search button on the G1 keyboard doesn't activate my app. I will update the description shortly.

Please see my comments above regarding Opera and its dirty hacks. If it hijacks buttons when it has focus there's nothing other apps can do about it unforuntately.

A long press of the menu key is actually mapped to bring up the soft keyboard.
