Google TV emulator and GenericMotionEvent

Question

I would like to process the pointer hover event in my google tv application but without any success.

As I understand from the documentation I must set OnGenericMotionListener listener for my widget, but it seems the onGenericMotion() method does not called.

The constructor of my widget looks like this:

public MyWidget(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){

    super(context, attrs);
    setOnGenericMotionListener(new OnGenericMotionListener() {

       @Override
       public boolean onGenericMotion(View v, MotionEvent event) {
         Log.d("","Motion");
         return false;
       });     
    }
}

Unfortunately I have not real device and must to develop in Google tv emulator. Is it restriction of the emulator or am I making something wrong?

Shouldn't your MyWidget extend the View class? – Megha Joshi - GoogleTV DevRel Jul 06 '12 at 22:12 — Megha Joshi - GoogleTV DevRel, Jul 06 '12 at 22:12
I inherit it from RelativeLayout – Art Spasky Jul 07 '12 at 08:07 — Art Spasky, Jul 07 '12 at 08:07

I tried executing your code on a Google TV device and it works as expected. So this seems like a bug or limitation with the emulator. Please file it in the Google TV Issue tracker.
