Dear Sir/Madam,

  How can I detect pressing Volume Up/Down Key?

  I have tried to capture it by KeyDown event of MainScreen. It does not work. (i.e. not dialog pop up. for other key like escape, camera, make call, end call, they are working)

 //Inside MainScreen

    public boolean keyDown(int keycode, int time) {
        Dialog.alert("Key Down ="+ keycode);
        return super.keyDown(keycode, time);
    }

Thanks.

You want keyControl for those.

Thanks, richard_puckett. It is working!

BTW, I can only use KeyChar to detect Characters.ESCAPE but cannot use KeyControl.

However, for Characters.CONTROL_VOLUME_UP, I cannot use KeyControl.

Do you know what the reason it?

Many Thanks.

Hi rickysiu,

Could you post up the code that makes keyControl work? I am playing with getting some functionality off these buttons, but I have no idea how to make it work

Thanks

protected boolean keyControl(char c, int status, int time){       
        boolean retvalue = false;
        if (c == Characters.CONTROL_VOLUME_UP){       
            // do something
            return true;
        } else if (c == Characters.CONTROL_VOLUME_DOWN){           
            // do something
            return true;
        } else {           
            retvalue = super.keyControl(c, status, time);
        }       
        return retvalue;
    }

Thank you...

 public class Example1 extends FlowFieldManager

My issue is with the actual body of code I should be extending FlowFieldManager? or Manager? (Sorry I am very new, I can research on how to do this - I didn't mean to highjack your thread with my own questions)
