Description Sylvain 2013-08-14 10:06:47 UTC 
Hi,

Well ... this comes from Samsung app certification process :
The "galaxy camera HD" is both an android device and camera.

There is no volume buttons on it, but Zoom buttons.

Samsung requires for the app certification that the camera "zoom" button acts like a volume button!

My app use the current trunk version and works correctly with the hardware volume buttons on usual phones. but it appears it failed specifically on this device with Zoom button.

Dont know how to fix it..
I found this (see the video) this is the upper left button : http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/184350-Samsung-store-will-reject-Unity-apps-because-of-device-volume-and-device-back-buttons

thanks,

Sylvain

Look for KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP in SDLActivity.java, you'll see they are bypassed so Android can apply the default behaviour. You probably need to add whatever code corresponds to those zoom buttons. If you figure what those are let us know!

Well I found this : 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15115012/android-api-to-detect-samsung-galaxy-camera-zoom-buttons

That could be:

KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ZOOM_IN 
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ZOOM_OUT


But I couldn't try it as I dont have the device.
Comment 3 Sylvain 2013-08-16 03:14:31 UTC 
I submitted a modified version of my application with a patch and see if it passes the certification.
I will let you know.
Comment 4 Gabriel Jacobo 2013-08-19 12:33:23 UTC 
KEYCODE_ZOOM_IN and KEYCODE_ZOOM_OUT, are API Level 11, so they would have to be added as their corresponding values, otherwise there'll be a compilation error

Comment 6 Sylvain 2013-08-22 13:30:11 UTC 
May I ask you why we don't upgrade the Build Properties to compile with API_18 since this is it the latest ? 

Together with keeping min-target=10 in the ManifestXml.
Comment 7 Sylvain 2013-08-22 13:47:22 UTC 
BTW, the modified app with ZOOM_IN/OUT + CAMERA passed the certification.

Thanks
