With the following java code :
    sendKeyEventGTV(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_TV);

    public void sendKeyEventGTV(final int keyEvent) {
    // create new Thread to avoid network operations on UI Thread
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            if(anymotetv != null)
                anymotetv.sendKeyPress(keyEvent);
        }
    }).start();
    }

I get the following error in logcat :

and my app is finishing.

Other keys (KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE, ...) doesn't do that and are OK with my 
remote Google TV (Sony NSZGS7B box).

Tested on Motorola Xoom with Android 4.1.2, build JZO54K

libs :
anymote.jar
bcprov-jdk15-143.jar
polo.jar
protobuf-java-2.2.0-lite.jar

On the vizio co-star if you press the Search button on the remote, you get the 
apps Search Dialog if it has the ability to search within the app.  If you long 
press the search, you get the Global Search dialog.

However, with the anymote-protocol you always get the Global Search dialog and 
never get the option for the in app search dialog.


What is needed is a way to send the in app search or trigger an in app search 
dialog.

Expected behavior, similar to vizio costar.

Tested this with both chromemote, able remote, and google tv remote.

make on the cpp after configure and supplying all requirements:
 *** No rule to make target `/src/gtest-all.cc', needed by `gtest-all.lo'.  Stop.

I have a Sony NSZ-GS7/GX70 and have found a couple of features missing.
One such feature is to allow me define my own custom IR codes and then to allow 
me to invoke them in some way. 
Ideally then I would like to be able to invoke these IR codes from a remote 
control app. 
In may case I need to be able to switch inputs on the AV amp. For TV I have a 
separate channel than for sound coming from the Google TV.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
