Keypress Override

Panasonic has terribly bad KeyboardEvent handling and required quite custom logic to be implemented to align with other platforms.

The logic is also depending on the year-models that XDK is running on.

Since 2018, KeyboardEvent handling on Panasonic HTML5 v3 SDK is the same as Android WebView, where Keypress is consistently not fired and minimal handling is required.

On 2017 devices that use HTML5 v3 SDK and all devices that use HTML5 v2 SDK, i.e. devices released on or earlier than 2016 will have custom logic implemented.

On 2017 devices, the browser will generate Keypress event regardlessly. That means keypress of a printable character, e.g. "Q", and keypress of a function key, e.g. Key Up, will both generate Keypress event. The browser also generates Keypress event for keypress on pressing on USB keyboard attach, but pressing of the number keys on the remote does not cause the browser firing the corresponding Keypress event.

On 2016 or earlier devices, no keypress events are fired, even for pressing of printable characters.

To fix the abnormality mentioned, the TVKey class will check the system properties of the device it is running on and apply one of the following rules.

2018 Device or above

Criteria (2018)

• No Smart TV Alliance API Object
• OIPF LocalSystem object's family name property contains years greater than 2017

Logic (2018)

non-printable char	No	No
Enter	Yes	No
