I am trying to get the infrared transmitter to work on the HTC ONE m8 after lollipop update. I am trying to use the HTC Sense IR SDK (addon-htc_ir_api-htc-19) found here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/opensense-sdk/htc-ir-api I import the sample project (HTCConsumerIR) and run the app on my HTC device and the app simply does not transmit a signal. I get no errors, but the infrared transmitter does not even turn on. This is the same project with no modifications at all. Why is it not working? Any help from someone who has infrared working on HTC would be much appropriated. It can get infrared working on every device except HTC's.
Here is the code for the main class, if that helps at all:
public class OneCIRActivity extends Activity {
private final static String TAG = "OneCIR";
private boolean running;
ConsumerIrManagerCompat mCIR;
Button btnLearn, btnSend, btnSendByIRManager, btnStart, btnStop;
TextView textView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_onecir);
btnStart = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonstart);
// btnStart.setOnClickListener(btnStartListener); //HTC optional (see onResume())
// btnStart.setText("CIRControl.start");
btnStart.setVisibility(View.GONE);
btnLearn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonlearn);
btnLearn.setOnClickListener(btnLearnListener);
btnLearn.setText("Learn IR"); //HTC
btnSend = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonsend);
btnSend.setOnClickListener(btnSendIRListener);
btnSend.setText("Send IR"); //BOTH
btnStop = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonstop);
// btnStop.setOnClickListener(btnStopListener); //HTC optional
// btnStop.setText("CIRControl.stop");
btnStop.setVisibility(View.GONE);
textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1);
mCIR = ConsumerIrManagerCompat.createInstance(getApplicationContext());
mCIR.start(); //for HTC - noop otherwise (also see onResume()/onPause() )
mCIR.setTextView(textView); // to pass errors to UI
updateUI();
}
public void updateUI() {
if (mCIR != null) {
if (mCIR.hasIrEmitter()) {
if((mCIR.supportedAPIs|ConsumerIrManagerCompat.HTCSUPPORT)!=0) {

} else {

}

} else {

}
}
}

//Use this HTC API to learn any IR function from remote controller
mCIR.learnIRCmd(10); // set 10sec timeout

}
};

mCIR.start(); //needed for HTC API (noop otherwise) before calling other APIs
}

The HtcConsumerIr app doesn't work on Lollipop because it only uses the HTC library if you have KitKat. If you open ConsumerIrManagerCompat.java and change this line:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT
&& hasPackage("com.htc.cirmodule", context)) {
return new ConsumerIrManagerHtc(context);
} else {
return new ConsumerIrManagerBase(context);
}
to this:
if (hasPackage("com.htc.cirmodule", context)) {
return new ConsumerIrManagerHtc(context);
} else {
return new ConsumerIrManagerBase(context);
}
it will work.
I'm currently trying to get my app working again after upgrading to Lollipop. It was all working fine in KitKat without needing to use the HTC library. I've not got it completely working yet, but I have got it transmitting. Seems we're back to using pulse counts instead of durations too.
