Collection of intents that work for Boox devices?

[llinfeng]

Is there a compiled list of intents that work for Boox devices? For example, thanks to lvlrdka22's post here, we have:

• action.enable.all.tp.region as Broadcast intent that enables "Finger Touch", and
• action.disable.tp.exclude.bar.region as Broadcast intent that disables "Finger Touch"

For example, useful intents may include: rotate the orientation by 90/180/270 degrees, show/hide the navigation ball (as it may disappear from time to time), and start/stop screencasting.

/* Dialogs */
am broadcast -a action.show.brightness.dialog
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.show.contrast.dialog
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.show.refreshmode.dialog
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.SHOW_ROTATION_LOCK_DIALOG_ACTION
am broadcast -a onyx.android.show.global.dialog

/* Rotation */
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.ROTATION --ei rotation 0
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.ROTATION --ei rotation 1
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.ROTATION --ei rotation 2
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.ROTATION --ei rotation 3

/* Screenshot */
am broadcast -a onyx.android.intent.screenshot

/* Injection */
am broadcast -a onyx.android.intent.send.key.event --ei key_code <keycode>
am broadcast -a onyx.android.intent.send.touch.event --ef tap_event_x <x> --ef tap_event_y <y>

/* Multi-window - kind of funky */
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.START_MULTI_WINDOW
am broadcast -a com.onyx.action.QUIT_MULTI_WINDOW

Here is a list of keycodes, serving in complement to the list of intents. (One way to make use of these keycodes is to map other keys on a BT-controller to simulate the keycode in the list, using Button Mapper.)

• 25 - Volume Up
• 24 - Volume Down
• 134 - Full screen refresh
• 136 - Toggle backlight on/off
• 135 - Take a screenshot
• 92 - page up
• 93 - page down
• 131 - Toggle Menu
• 138 - Home page
• 132 - Back button
• 21 - Page up
• 22 - Page down
• 20 - decrease font size by 1 (Neoreader specific)
• 19 - increase font size by 1 (Neoreader specific)

Does anybody know how to send a key combination? I need the Key Codes 117 + 71 (which is CMD + [).

Here is what it does: https://shop.boox.com/blogs/news/12-...=pocket_mylist (#7)

Or does anyone know an intent for this?

Yes/no. The "input keyevent" can not "hold" modifier keyers.
The "input text" can manipulate the shift key implicitly.
With my injectd (not released) I can "echo M71 > /dev/inject".

That is the smallest drink that I've ever seen a human holding!

Hey, thanks for your answer.

The intents are working perfectly to start and quit splitscreen. But in fact with the key combinations CMD+[ and CMD+] you can change the ratio of the splitscreen to 25/75%, 50/50% or 75/25% of the screen width. That is why I am looking for a way to simulate the key presses.

I tried

am broadcast -a onyx.android.intent.send.key.event --ei key_code M71
[am broadcast -a onyx.android.intent.send.text --ei text M71

But it's not working. I also tried a lot of things with Tasker, but the CMD key is not working through Tasker on my Note Air 1.

Do you have any further Idea?

Sorry, that "M71" stuff was only applicable to my injector.

I presume that that stuff is in SystemUI.apk but I've only got a Poke3 and a Poke5 and they don't seem to support split screen.

It's probably in /system_ext/priv-app/SystemUi/SystemUi.apk
adb pull a copy and post it somewhere, please.

[Alex34]

I exported the APK with apk-analyzer app and uploaded it here:

Have you already had the chance to download the file? The Download Link is only valid for another 3 days.

Thank you in advance for your Help!

Oh, you got me confused with your "App Analyzer" and that website gives me big silly photos of people.

Well, there is only so far down this rabbit hole that I want to go.
The start intent does stuff, but you need to experiment with the extras.

== Action ==

com.onyx.action.START_MULTI_WINDOW

== Extras ==

int "primary_task_id"

int "args_primary_task_create_mode"

int "args_multi_windowmode"

int "args_spilt_screen_layout_type"

boolean "args_primary_task_to_top"

boolean "args_ignore_window_mode_check"

Bundle "compat_m_args_secondary_task_bundle"

[Alex34]

Thanks alot, but I am unfortunetely not able to make the Extras work. Do you have any Idea about valid values for the integers below?

Or can you tell me where and how you found the intent and the information about the extras? I checked the manifest.xml, but without sucess.

[Renate]

Extras are not registered, so there's nothing in AndroidManifest.xml
They are in SystemUi.apk in com\android\systemui\stackdivider\OnyxSplitScreenI nfo.smali

Oh, yeah, you obviously can't extra a Bundle from a shell.

Unfortunately on my note air3c key_code 134 doesn’t work for refresh if I send the intent with Macrodroid. F4 on keyboard works and other key_codes do (super cool!) but not F4? Any idea, can someone try on their device?

I’m trying to automate a page turn, wait, refresh in macrodroid using Bluetooth. If I just map a Bluetooth key to F4 it’s two presses because I can’t simulate it. I’m not rooted or ADBd.

[HeavyLiquid]

I take it back. It works in some apps but not others. For instance, not in launcher or Reddit, or Neobrowser but in PressReader or Mihon it does. Weird one. Maybe I’ll launch intent from elsewhere and try.
