That did the trick! Thanks! It's a bit complicated... My app is a todo list, and i kind of have a symmetric concept (touch vs. keyboard) there's basically nothing you can't do in either of them. Theoretically there could be an infinity of views, and it would be a little too much overhead to set them all as non-focusable just for this + the way i see it (in my context) using the trackball would be a long way around any existing function.
But thanks for the tip; anyway, will pass this through user feedback too, so no one gets hurt :) On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 6:45 PM, Marco Nelissen <[email protected]> wrote: > > You could try grabbing it in dispatchKeyEvent(), however if another > view (visibly) has focus, then your application's users are going to > be confused when pressing the trackball does not invoke the selected > item, but does something else instead.
