Launching an app with a hardware key
I'm basically at my wits end here, I feel like I've tried everything. I need to open an app on my Nexus 7 with a hardware key press.
-External Keyboard Helper will do it but disables the soft keyboard when in use (and also stops working when using any other input source)
-Tasker will only detect two hardware buttons, long search and camera. I can get both of these buttons by editing the Generic.kl file and binding them to F1 and F2 or something, but tasker still refuses to detect them.
-I can start the search app with the search key, but tasker seems to have no functionality to detect when another app starts, so I can't just piggyback off of that one.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
