Description Philipp Wiesemann 2012-07-28 10:03:47 UTC 
Hello,

the current version of SDL 2.0 (HG) does not provide scancodes for all keys available on Android.

Missing are all new keys added since Android API level 11.

Also it would be possible to map SDL_SCANCODE_WWW, SDL_SCANCODE_MAIL and SDL_SCANCODE_SLASH.

Android's KEYCODE_DEL is mapped to SDL_SCANCODE_DELETE but according to Android's documentation [1] it should be like SDL_SCANCODE_BACKSPACE.

I attached a patch with these corrections.

I attached a new version of the patch because the old was not in hg diff format.
