Wifi login with D-pad in gui
-
Hey I have being using retropi for a few years now and I love how it's evolved, an addition I would love to see would be the ability to log into wifi networks with the d-pad on a onscreen keyboard much like searching in Kodi, so I can log into friends/public wifi on my pi 3 gameboy. Would be cool to be able to skin it like those enter your name panels on Zelda or Pokemon. Keep up the good work guys thanks for everything so far.

@thomthumb just use your keyboard?
-
Use pixel desktop and then sign into the wifi that way.
You can install antimicro to bind the controller to the mouse/keyboard and you can use the on screen keyboard -
Another solution is to buy a physical keyboard, like the Logitech K400, which is a nice tool to control your media center.

This can be done easily via dialog command. You will save lots of character to be assigned if you use hash value of password... So only 0-F needed!
You can also extend the command to ASCII-7bit but ... well it's solveable by ease. Who gots the timeWe need a dilaog command with 4 Button layout
1 Button OKAY
2 Button CANCEL
3 Button UPPER/LOWERCASE
4 Button Numbers/Sentence signsthen we build array [A-Z] and each character gots one counter... So 1 = A, 2 = B ....
We read back counter out of array and got the character. Each selected character is assigne to new array .... KEYBOARD input. Really easy! Any guy got time to code?There is also the possibilty to import other WIFI via this method and use multiple SSIDs
