Remapping keys in Clientstore

[something_fishy]

I am just getting to grips with key remaps in the clientstore.xml files. 
I think that I am getting the hang of it however a successful remap generates an Android notification bubble.

I am using a Harmony hub based remote to control an NVidia Shield. The clientstore file shows that nine of the remote keys are not recognised: KeyCode-F1 to KeyCode-F9. I can remap these in the clientstore as expected. For example:

Code:

<KeyCode-F7>112</KeyCode-F7>

So that:  Remote button "Guide" -> Keycode-F7 -> F1 (.net code 112) -> Display TV guide

This works, Uidroid displays the TV guide. However the ShieldTV is displaying a notification bubble with

KEYCODE_F7 65 137

Displayed for around 2 seconds (image below). 

Because I am using an app to switch refresh rates on the fly I am running the Shield with Developer options (for USB debugging and Network debugging) turned on, but temporarily turning them off didn't make a difference. Nor did switching off permissions to display over other apps make a difference. 

Is this a setting in either Uidroid, NextPVR or something I've missed in the AndroidTV system that I can turn off to prevent this.

Thanks

Does it display every time? I did display that info when an unknown key is not in the clientstore to help the installation but maybe I need to remove it.

Hi Martin

It displays whenever a remapped key is activated.
It does not display when an unrecognised key is written to the clientstore.

Sorry about that I will have to give it a look. I actually stopped using uidroid because of so many crashes in UI clients but thankfully the upcoming 7.0.5 seems to be much more stable and it is refreshed my thinking on UI clients in general.

Maybe try this apk and see if I fixed that https://www.mediafire.com/file/mx8czath3...e.apk/file
