Intercept and stop keys

Reventlov · 12-15-2012, 01:14 PM

Hello. I'm searching for a way to stop events triggered by buttons on my kindle 4NT.
I want a way to execute a script until any button is pressed, and to go on the homepage then.
Currently, I use waitforkey, but the buttons trigger the menu, the virtual keyboard and other things, I want to avoid that.

Code:

waitforkey;
# Resume the interface
killall -CONT cvm;
# Go Home
echo "send 101" > /proc/keypad

killall -cont cvm

I don't understand what do you means by «*Don't have a 4 mate*».

He does not have a K4 model to test the suggestion on.

Well, I use first "killall -stop cvm" to avoid the kindle to come back at the homepage when I launch my programm which show an image using eips, then when I*want to go back to homepage I launch "killall -cont cvm" to resume cvm.
Note: cvm == C virtual machine which is a java virtual machine used by the kindle
