Description
According to official documentation https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/building-for-apple-tv
it's possible to intercept D-Pad events like:
(evt && evt.eventType === 'left')
but it seems to not work. The only events I can intercept are: focus, blur, select and playPause.

Code
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableHighlight, Button, Image } from 'react-native';
var TVEventHandler = require('TVEventHandler');
export default class MainScreenContainer extends Component {
enableTVEventHandler() {
this.tvEventHandler = new TVEventHandler();
this.tvEventHandler.enable(this, function(cmp, evt) {
if (evt) {
console.log(evt);
}
});
}
componentDidMount() {
this.enableTVEventHandler();
}
consoleHello = () => {
console.log('Hello');
};
render() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<Button hasTVPreferredFocus onPress={this.consoleHello} title="Hello1" />
<TouchableHighlight touchableHandleActivePressIn onPressIn={this.consoleHello} onPress={this.consoleHello}>
<Text> Touch Here </Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
<Button onPress={this.consoleHello} title="Hello3" />
</View>
);
}
}
Three simple focusable elements to navigate between. I tried to get Up, Down events while navigating between buttons/touchable component. No results. Only blur, select, focus, playPause.
Anyone can help me ?
Update:
Today I receive new bluetooth remote for testing that contains more buttons.
Situation is the same (arrow actions still don't recognized) but there are 2 more events that get recognized by TVEventHandler (rewind and fastForward).
