I had a play with the phone ui stuff a few months back. Had to make a few
changes to get it to work properly, I wasn't really sure how it should
work exactly but I did eventualy get it sort of working.
Entering text with the phone ui stuff isn't a lot different than entering
text with the MythRemoteLineEdit widget but requires a popup dialog
to work. Wasn't a lot quicker. Only difference is you can see on screen
which number correspond to which letter.
In the end I came to the conclusion that trying to enter any text using
a remote is a real pain in the a*** and bought a remote keyboard instead!
If you are interested I can see if I still have the code and send it of to
you. It isn't quite complete but works. I really don't want to spend any
time
on it right now. Busy trying to get my Smart Playlist patch working for
MythMusic!.
