input输入子系统：Android-Keylayout英文说明文档

Key layout files (

.kl

 files) are responsible for mapping Linux key codes and axis codes to Android key codes and axis codes and specifying associated policy flags.

Device-specific key layout files are required for all internal (built-in) input devices that have keys, including special keys such as volume, power and headset media keys.

Device-specific key layout files are optional for other input devices but they are recommended for special-purpose keyboards and joysticks.

If no device-specific key layout file is available, then the system will choose a default instead.

Location

Key layout files are located by USB vendor, product (and optionally version) id or by input device name.

The following paths are consulted in order.

/system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_XXXX_Product_XXXX_Version_XXXX.kl

/system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_XXXX_Product_XXXX.kl

/system/usr/keylayout/DEVICE_NAME.kl

/data/system/devices/keylayout/Vendor_XXXX_Product_XXXX_Version_XXXX.kl

/data/system/devices/keylayout/Vendor_XXXX_Product_XXXX.kl

/data/system/devices/keylayout/DEVICE_NAME.kl

/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

/data/system/devices/keylayout/Generic.kl

When constructing a file path that contains the device name, all characters in the device name other than '0'-'9', 'a'-'z', 'A'-'Z', '-' or '' are replaced by ''.

Generic Key Layout File

The system provides a special built-in generic key layout file called 

Generic.kl

. This key layout is intended to support a variety of standard external keyboards and joysticks.

Do not modify the generic key layout!

Syntax

A key layout file is a plain text file consisting of key or axis declarations and flags.

Key Declarations

Key declarations each consist of the keyword 

key

 followed by a Linux key code number and an Android key code name, or the keyword `usage` followed by a HID usage and an Android key code
name. The HID usage is represented as a 32-bit integer, where the high 16-bits represent the HID usage page and the low 16-bits represent the HID usage ID. Either of these declarations can then be followed by an optional set of whitespace delimited policy
flags.

key 1     ESCAPE
key 114   VOLUME_DOWN       WAKE
key 16    Q                 VIRTUAL     WAKE
key usage 0x0c006F          BRIGHTNESS_UP

The following policy flags are recognized:

WAKE

: The key should wake the device when it is asleep. For historical reasons, this flag behaves in the same manner as 

WAKE_DROPPED

 below.

WAKE_DROPPED

: The key should wake the device when it is asleep but the key itself should be dropped when the wake-up occurs. In a sense, the key's action
was to wake the device, but the key itself is not processed.

SHIFT

: The key should be interpreted as if the SHIFT key were also pressed.

CAPS_LOCK

: The key should be interpreted as if the CAPS LOCK key were also pressed.

ALT

: The key should be interpreted as if the ALT key were also pressed.

ALT_GR

: The key should be interpreted as if the RIGHT ALT key were also pressed.

FUNCTION

: The key should be interpreted as if the FUNCTION key were also pressed.

VIRTUAL

: The key is a virtual soft key (capacitive button) that is adjacent to the main touch screen. This causes special debouncing logic to be enabled,
see below.

MENU

: Deprecated. Do not use.

LAUNCHER

: Deprecated. Do not use.

Axis Declarations

Axis declarations each consist of the keyword 

axis

 followed by a Linux axis code number, and qualifiers that control the behavior of the axis including at least one Android axis code
name.

Basic Axes

A basic axis simply maps a Linux axis code to an Android axis code name.

The following declaration maps 

ABS_X

 (indicated by 

0x00

) to 

AXIS_X

 (indicated
by 

X

).

axis 0x00 X

In the above example, if the value of 

ABS_X

 is 

5

 then 

AXIS_X

 will
be set to 

5

.

Split Axes

A split axis maps a Linux axis code to two Android axis code names, such that values less than or greater than a threshold are split across two different axes when mapped. This mapping is useful when a single physical axis reported by the device encodes two
different mutually exclusive logical axes.

The following declaration maps values of the 

ABS_Y

 axis (indicated by 

0x01

) to 

AXIS_GAS

 when
less than 

0x7f

or to 

AXIS_BRAKE

 when greater than 

0x7f

.

axis 0x01 split 0x7f GAS BRAKE

In the above example, if the value of 

ABS_Y

 is 

0x7d

 then 

AXIS_GAS

 is
set to 

2

 (

0x7f - 0x7d

) and 

AXIS_BRAKE

is
set to 

0

. Conversely, if the value of 

ABS_Y

 is 

0x83

 then 

AXIS_GAS

 is
set to 

0

 and 

AXIS_BRAKE

 is set to 

4

 (

0x83
- 0x7f

). Finally, if the value of 

ABS_Y

 equals the split value of 

0x7f

 then both 

AXIS_GAS

 and 

AXIS_BRAKE

 are
set to 

0

.

Inverted Axes

An inverted axis inverts the sign of the axis value.

The following declaration maps 

ABS_RZ

 (indicated by 

0x05

) to 

AXIS_BRAKE

 (indicated
by 

BRAKE

), and inverts the output by negating it.

axis 0x05 invert BRAKE

In the above example, if the value of 

ABS_RZ

 is 

2

 then 

AXIS_BRAKE

 is
set to 

-2

.

Center Flat Position Option

The Linux input protocol provides a way for input device drivers to specify the center flat position of joystick axes but not all of them do and some of them provide incorrect values.

The center flat position is the neutral position of the axis, such as when a directional pad is in the very middle of its range and the user is not touching it.

To resolve this issue, an axis declaration may be followed by a 

flat

 option that specifies the value of the center flat position for the axis.

axis 0x03 Z flat 4096

In the above example, the center flat position is set to 

4096

.

Comments

Comment lines begin with '#' and continue to the end of the line. Like this:

# A comment!

Blank lines are ignored.

Joystick

# This is an example of a key layout file for a joystick.

# These are the buttons that the joystick supports, represented as keys.

Wake Keys

Wake keys are special keys that wake the device from sleep, such as the power key.

By default, for internal keyboard devices, no key is a wake key. For external keyboard device, all keys are wake keys.

To make a key be a wake key, set the 

WAKE_DROPPED

 flag in the key layout file for the keyboard device.

Note that the 

WindowManagerPolicy

 component is responsible for implementing wake key behavior. Moreover, the key guard may prevent certain keys from functioning as wake keys. A good place
to start understanding wake key behavior is 

PhoneWindowManager.interceptKeyBeforeQueueing

.

Virtual Soft Keys

The input system provides special features for implementing virtual soft keys.

There are three cases:

If the virtual soft keys are displayed graphically on the screen, as on the Galaxy Nexus, then they are implemented by the Navigation Bar component in the System UI package.
Because graphical virtual soft keys are implemented at a high layer in the system, key layout files are not involved and the following information does not apply.

If the virtual soft keys are implemented as an extended touchable region that is part of the main touch screen, as on the Nexus One, then the input system uses a virtual key map file to translate X / Y touch coordinates
into Linux key codes, then uses the key layout file to translate Linux key codes into Android key codes.
Refer to the section on Touch Devices for more details
about virtual key map files.
The key layout file for the touch screen input device must specify the appropriate key mapping and include the 

VIRTUAL

 flag for each key.

If the virtual soft keys are implemented as capacitive buttons that are separate from the main touch screen, as on the Nexus S, then the kernel device driver or firmware is responsible for translating touches into
Linux key codes which the input system then translates into Android key codes using the key layout file.
The key layout file for the capacitive button input device must specify the appropriate key mapping and include the 

VIRTUAL

 flag for each
key.

When virtual soft key are located within or in close physical proximity of the touch screen, it is easy for the user to accidentally press one of the buttons when touching near the bottom of the screen or when sliding a finger from top to bottom or from bottom
to top on the screen.

To prevent this from happening, the input system applies a little debouncing such that virtual soft key presses are ignored for a brief period of time after the most recent touch on the touch screen. The delay is called the virtual key quiet time.

To enable virtual soft key debouncing, we must do two things.

First, we provide a key layout file for the touch screen or capacitive button input device with the 

VIRTUAL

 flag set for each key.

key 139    MENU           VIRTUAL
key 102    HOME           VIRTUAL
key 158    BACK           VIRTUAL
key 217    SEARCH         VIRTUAL

Then, we set the value of the virtual key quiet time in a resource overlay for the framework 

config.xml

resource.

<!-- Specifies the amount of time to disable virtual keys after the screen is touched
     in order to filter out accidental virtual key presses due to swiping gestures
     or taps near the edge of the display.  May be 0 to disable the feature.
     It is recommended that this value be no more than 250 ms.
     This feature should be disabled for most devices. -->
<integer name="config_virtualKeyQuietTimeMillis">250</integer>

Validation

Make sure to validate your key layout files using the Validate Keymaps tool.From: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/input/key-layout-files.html
