Question

As the question states, I wish to translate android keycodes to java awt keycodes that java.awt.Robot can use in its keyPress() and keyRelease() methods.

The mapping is different in the two, is there a library that provides a translator? Or do I have to research the mapping charts and hardcode them in myself >

Answer 1

Me too, I have been wondering why Android does not follow ASCII.

I made a hardcode too, but it’s a bit concise, hope that helps:

public static int toAscii(int key) {
  if (key >= KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A && key <= KeyEvent.KEYCODE_Z)
    return key - KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A + 'A';
  else ...
}
