How do u switch an app that works on touch screen to dpad

Bachurhock

Anybody?

Bachurhock What's your question. You want to know how to make an app compatible with the dpad (like smartlist)? For that you would need to reprogram the app, something you need to know coding for.

12345 you need to learn smali, and probably Java even before that. And learn how elements and components are loaded in smali. Then read documentation about from google (developer.android.com) about how to make your apps for android tv, and have dpad compatibility (which will be the same with flip phones). Decompile your app, reprogram the elements to be loaded in a dpad friendly way, add the necessary java code for controlling button presses, but make sure to write those functions in smali. Then recompile the app and sign it. Done!

No! I haven't done this ever!

In regards to Biden2020prez replying to Biden2020prez, so unless somebody who fits all those criteria and knows puts in a ton of time steps up to the task of reprogramming apps for flip phones, we'll be left here hanging.

FliphoneBochur Let me answer that question for you. Nobody will do it. Even if some people can, it would take hours upon hours for every single app and would not be worth the headache. Smali code is very difficult to read, especially for the task of fully transforming / reprogramming an app.
