Description Michal Kolodziejczyk 2013-11-19 10:26:07 UTC 
After pressing "hardware buttons" (the touch area near the home button) on Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.0.4, I got following errors:

Back (right of HOME):
I/SDL/APP ( 5690): The button you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list <sdl@libsdl.org> Android KeyCode 4

Menu (left of HOME)
I/SDL/APP ( 5690): The button you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list <sdl@libsdl.org> Android KeyCode 82

Let me know if this solves the problem, hopefully now those buttons will be processed as keyboard events: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/109299fe73ad

Feel free to reopen if they don't!

There is some progress: when I start my application with on-screen keyboard visible (with SDL_StartTextInput() ), the menu "button" triggers the event correctly, but the "back" button does not. It is not a bug, because the keyboard hijacks it - after pressing it the keyboard is hidden.
However, after this I get no events for neither "button" nor "back" buttons.

So, to summarize: I get event for "menu" only when the on-screen keyboard is visible, and never for "back" button.

After recompiling everything from scratch it works! Sorry for reopening too quickly and thanks for the fix!
