AOSP is taking Generic.kl file instead of customized keylayout file for remote key mapping

For IR remote integration I have added my own myKey.idc and myKey.kl file in device folder. I have added keylayout file in myKey.idc as below:

keyboard.layout = myKey

But still android is taking Generic.kl file as keylayout map file.

Can anyone tell me why it is not taking my keylayout map file? Is there any other configuration file I need to change?

Note: I integrated androlirc with aosp oreo for remote keys. Got the codebase from this.

I had this problem and the issue was my keylayout file was invalid. Android simply silently dropped it instead of reporting any error. My issue was I was using a flag that was no longer supported on a more recent Android version.

I found you can validate your layout file with the validatekeymaps tool.

> make validatekeymaps
> validatekeymaps DEVICE_NAME.kl

After validating the file, the keymap was found and used intead of Generic.kl
