What is the keyevent code for the overview key?

What event code needs to be sent for the overview key with adb shell input keyevent <code>?

Solution

  • Assuming you mean the button that shows the list of opened apps, it's KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH:

    KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH

    Added in API level 11 int KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH Key code constant: App switch key. Should bring up the application switcher dialog.

    Constant Value: 187 (0x000000bb)

    For using it with adb shell input, you can simply use the name:

    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH
