Java Remote?

My Roku Remote app for Android supports keyboard input, and I believe some of the others do as well.

The app lets you enter text two ways - you can enter a string at a time with your normal on screen or physical keyboard, or if you swipe the main screen to the left, you will see a keyboard that you can use to send one character at a time.

You could also try Remoku (new version's about 99% ready for public beta, new domain: remoku.tv ). It's been tested to work with Safari under iOS 4 and 5, Chrome, Firefox 4+, and Internet Explorer 8+. I expect it to work with most other modern mobile/desktop browsers(I've tried it with a Kindle Touch, not a great experience for a remote, but it functions 🙂 ). You could have a look at its source, but fair warning, it's badly in need of cleanup. 🙂

Found it, and it almost works... 🙂 However one small critical thing for me doesn't work. The forward slash "/". I haven't tried all the symbols & accents, but without the forward slash, it doesn't help me at all... 😞 I've got a bare-bones / very basic web browser... and it's very slow. So I was hoping to be able to type in a starting web address from my computer. I see I can even paste text into that field... which is great! Now if only it would take the slash... 🙂

Btw, here's the string from my browser...
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/531.2+ Debian/squeeze (2.30.6-1) Epiphany/2.30.6

Ok, I dug around the internet, and found a way to upgrade my iceweasel/firefox... my new string is...
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 Iceweasel/9.0.1

Although my app is writen in Java, a majority of the code is for the Android UI and wouldnt be transferable. Better to start from scratch.

Ah, I had an idea that might be the case... I have thought about getting into android programming, since I have one, but I haven't read up on it yet.
