About KeyEvent Display APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Once, I was playing with a number of Chinese tablets and trying different ROMs on them as they are technically the same hardware (HSG X5A variants).I've had some problems getting the hard buttons to work though, so I wrote this application to detect key events and print them out. It will print out the following:
KeyEvents: The KeyEvents as Android understands them (KeyUp, KeyDown, KeyLongPress, KeyMultiple)
LogCat: Any relevant messages in logcat. Its filtered based on keywords declared in arrays.xml
Kernel: Any relevant messages in the kernel log. Its filtered based on keywords declared in arrays.xml. Kernel log parsing needs root.
The three checkboxes at the top control what information will be displayed.
This is a personal debug tool, but I hope it will be of some use to someone else.
No Ads.
Notes
--------------
While the application is running, the only "hard" keys which should work is "Home" and power. All others will produce their keycodes.
The SU request is to read the kernel log, so I can check if any keyevents are thrown by the kernel.
The location of keylayout files in Android is /system/usr/keylayout.
Kernel log parsing needs root
Both logcat and kernel log monitoring will only display lines containing words from two arrays in arrays.xml (i.e. you need to recompile the app to change them at the moment)
Currently the filters are:
Logcat:
|-HwGPIOE->GPDA
|-keycode
|-keycharacter
Kernel:
|-HwGPIOE->GPDA
|-keycode
|-keycharacter
Permissions
--------------
READ_LOGS: Used to access the Logcat log.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Used to write the exported data to the SD card.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
