You can use CTRL key of the keyboard to simulate ALT key using keyboard

i do not understand You. i've got alt key on my device. i even have a key code of it. the problem is how to simulate alt+escape. so that i can get a shortcut as on real device. i do not need CTRL. my problem is how to simulate that the alt is pressed(and not released), then escape is pressed and after that alt is released.

you want to simulate these keyevents on simulator or you need to trace these keyevents?  if you want to trace keyevents then you can use STATUS_ALT as status in keyPadListener and Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE for escape key

i need to trace them. i triedd to use what You've mentioned but what i got it was as i only pressed 'escape', not 'alt+escape'. Here is my code:

EventInjector.invokeEvent( new KeyCodeEvent(KeyCodeEvent.KEY_DOWN,(char)Keypad.KEY_ALT, 0, 250));EventInjector.invokeEvent( new KeyCodeEvent(KeyCodeEvent.KEY_DOWN,

(char)Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE,KeypadListener.

STATUS_ALT, 150));EventInjector.invokeEvent( new KeyCodeEvent(KeyCodeEvent.KEY_UP,

(char)Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE,KeypadListener.

STATUS_ALT, 150));EventInjector.invokeEvent( new KeyCodeEvent(KeyCodeEvent.KEY_UP,

(char)Keypad.KEY_ALT, 0, 250));

[Deepesh]

Oh... You need to inject the events. Use this piece of code

EventInjector.KeyCodeEvent ev = new EventInjector.KeyCodeEvent(EventInjector.KeyCodeE vent.KEY_DOWN, ((char)Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE), KeypadListener.STATUS_ALT, 500);

i tried Your example and add post method :

EventInjector.KeyCodeEvent ev = new EventInjector.KeyCodeEvent(EventInjector.KeyCodeEvent.KEY_DOWN, ((char)Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE), KeypadListener.STATUS_ALT, 500);
		
ev.post();

but still it works as i pressed only escape, not 'alt+escape'..

now i've noticed very strange thing-when i'm in my application or in applications this code behaves as 'escape'. but when i get into main screen of mobile it works as 'alt+escape' so as i wanted. why it is like that?
