You make a great job

Thank you so much Peacemaker2000 for sharing your code and ideas.

It works like a charm getting the keys from a remote control and using the data for your own app. I would really like to know what kind of parameters you have to send to get a full keylist of a TV.

Right now I'm just saving the key data from my remote control and don't have any clues how to generally get all possible keys my TV understands. Would be great if you or anybody else who knows this, could share it with us. :)

If anybody would like to have a functional piece of code from my current prototype, just let me know, right now I have no problems of controlling my Sony Bravia KDL-32W4000.
Hey einschnaehkeee,

ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ich auch deine vielversprechende App testen dürfte.

Danke und Gruß

Relax guys, I'm working on it and you'll get 0.2 soon enough. :)

I was a bit unsatisfied with the overall code structure of the project, so I made some refactoring and now I'm beginning to implement newer stuff. Perhaps I'll give out a 0.1.2 beforehand to see if stuff is working for you people, that I recently improved/fixed.

I want to make sure that 0.2 won't break the domain model and that everything is backwards compatible, so I'll need some time testing.


Also I'm a bit more occupied with my job right now, so it's going along slowly (but also steadily ;)).

Hey Xallias,

if you're more comfortable in posting in another language then do so. I don't know what your mother tongue is, but if it's either German, Russian, Bulgarian, French or Spanish, I'm perfectly fine with unterstanding those. ;)


To your problems:

Removing things is not possible yet, but it will come in the next release. For now you have to cope with keeping all data, except the one within a makro (see next).

For defining makros - a remote key that sends multiple keys at once -, you first need to define a device (or multiple devices) with keys.
Then you define a remote and switch to "Edit" mode (press "E" in action bar).
You'll see all your defined devices in the right sidebar. Click and hold on one key inside a device and drag and drop it inside your remote. Now you have a remote key, that you can drag around and change its size by pinching. If you drag and drop another key from a device inside the newly created remote key, you can create a makro. ;)


Beginning with the next release I'll start to do some video tutorials, so that it will become pretty clear what to do with the app. :)

another tiny feature that i would love to see in the next release :)

the possibility to create buttons that dont trigger IR events, but just switch the remote. Next level would be a way to set images as remote and define areas as button (like html image maps). Now remove all the menu-stuff and tädä fully customizable ultra-power remotes :)

Hi einschnaehkeee,

I'd also love to take part at the beta / demo phase and will be pleased to give a detailed feedback. Please send me a link.

Thank's for your effort so far you put in the app.
