key codes of samsung X497

[Ramender Mall]

Hi all,
I have developed a game for a number of handsets, but it is not working on Samsung X497. The issue is, that the soft keys on this handset does not work, so we cannot select a menu and all....
I have not implemented commandAction, my game just makes use of the keyCodes, by keyPressed() method....
And problem in implementing commandAction NOW is that I will have to change all the sizes of images etc.
If anyone has worked on Samsung X497, and happens to know the keyCodes of the handsets(especially of 2 soft keys, select key and the clear key)...kindly post it...

Thanx...
Gud day..

Hi Ramender,

You can try this simple application to get your device Keycodes via getGameAction() function.

Here is the coding where you can retrieve by yourself using your device:

import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
 
public class KeyCodeExample extends MIDlet{
  private Display display;
  private MyCanvas canvas;
 
  public KeyCodeExample(){
    display=Display.getDisplay(this);
    canvas=new MyCanvas(this);
  }
 
  /**
   * startApp
   */
  protected void startApp() {
    display.setCurrent(canvas);
  }
 
  /**
   * pauseApp
   */
  protected void pauseApp() {
  }
 
  /**
   * destroyApp
   *
   * @param boolean0 boolean
   */
  protected void destroyApp(boolean boolean0) {
  }
 
  public void exitMIDlet(){
    destroyApp(true);
    notifyDestroyed();
  }
}
 

 

class MyCanvas extends Canvas implements CommandListener{
  private Command exit;
  private String direction;
  private KeyCodeExample keyCodeExample;
  private int x,y;
 
  public MyCanvas(KeyCodeExample keyCodeExample){
    direction="";
    x=y=0;
    this.keyCodeExample=keyCodeExample;
    exit=new Command("Quit",Command.EXIT,1);
    addCommand(exit);
    setCommandListener(this);
  }
 
  /**
   * paint
   *
   * @param graphics Graphics
   */
  protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
    graphics.setColor(255,255,255);
    graphics.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
    graphics.setColor(255,0,0);
    graphics.drawString(direction,x,y,Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
  }
 
  /**
   * commandAction
   *
   * @param command Command
   * @param displayable Displayable
   */
  public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) {
    if(command==exit){
      keyCodeExample.exitMIDlet();
    }
  }
 
  protected void keyPressed(int key){    
    int action=getGameAction(key);
    direction=Integer.toString(action);
 
    //direction=getKeyName(key);
    //direction=Integer.toString(key);
    
    repaint();
  }
}

Hope that is what you looking for.

Hi Mirai,

Thanx for the help...

But I got to know from somewhere, that Samsungx497's softkeys does not call keypressed method(just like Samsung E700)...
Its a device issue...

Thanx..
