Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any tutorials on how to write HID files for the K700i, or would care to explain how to write HID files.

Thanks,

Robert

I thought HID was Human Interface Device? A bluetooth profile to use the phone as a remote control on another bluetooth equipped device. Didn't know you could right HID files ??

Ok, i can see that the file is split into the image and the actual controls, but does anyone know what the keyboard UsageID's are?

I.e, say i want to write a HID file which the + key is used, what usageid would i assign?

But, as also mentioned you need to be registered and logged in to download. It's free to register anyway.

Hi there,

great help from you people! Just what I was looking for. I successfully wrote a HID File for iTunes on Windows (my definitely favorite Media Player!). You may download it at
http://bostroem.qipc.org/stuff/iTunes.hid .
After Downloading, install it through Bluetooth Object Push. The Phone System will put it automatically into the correct location. It's magic!
Have Fun,

Kim Bone

I have got the HID examples working on my phone.
Now I want to do my own!

But, I am experiencing problems when I try to create the TAR archive.
I create a TAR archive with the .HID extension on my PC.
It gets automatically installed at correct place when transferred.
But it's not possible to run the HID.
Just to be sure that i didnot create something wrong in my XML
i tried to make my own HID from the desktop.hid
With the same poor outcome.
So I guess the problem is creating the archive...

Anyone who knows a workaround to this?
Maybe someone who did this succesfully can recommend
an archive?

regards

Hi,

I was having similar problems with writing HID files, the problem was that most archiving programs (winrar and other comercial progs) could not create the archive properly. The solution that I have found is to use the program called, simply, "tar" which can be used to create archives. If you type tar into google, it will mostlikely be the first result!

Goodluck!!!

p.s. here is a direct link to the page: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html

goodluck with making ur HID files, if u need anything else to help, just let me know!
