Re: [Bug 1451724] Re: Selfie stick not supported
We can try to handle the media keycodes, I will update the patch in that
sense. Thanks for the research Michael.
However the volume keys are going to be more complicated: the app receieves
them just fine, but they are the same keys that are generated by the
hardware volume buttons on the phone (Qt.Key_VolumeDown, Qt.Key_VolumeUp).
The system intercepts them regardless of what the app does with them (I
tried to mark them as handled in Qt), and raises/lowers the volume.
I think it will be very confusing to shoot a picture AND raise/lower the
volume.
I guess we will have to live with the fact that some selfie sticks +
hardware combinations which generate volume keypresses won't be supported,
though that's going to be rather confusing for the user too.

I had a chance to play with a selfie stick: http://bit.ly/1KIYkBc
Working fine on iOS it didn't do anything on Ubuntu. I had enough
time to check out what what keycode it sends when pressing the shutter
button: Qt.Key_MediaTogglePlayPause
So I guess all it takes is to add a Keys.onPressed handler to the
camera app and trigger the photo shutter or start/stop recording when
in video mode.
