I've been having problems with remapping remotes on android until I found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...edefiner&hl=en "Multilanguage keymap redefiner" Basically what it does is replaces the stock android keyboard (which is good for a remote with a built in keyboard anyway) and allows you to remap ANY button on your remote to anything you want. I have thE MX3 - a notoriously badly mapped remote - and play, pause, skip, rewind, fast-forward as well as the context menu button, home button, zoom buttons and picture buttons all work perfectly now!
So if you are on android and want to map external keyboards this is the app for you!
XBMC default mapping:
play/pause = p
context menu = c
fastforward = f
rewind = r
skip 10 mins = right arrrow
reverse 10 minutes = left arrow
(obviously it would be better to change XBMC's mapping so the remote can be used in other apps, but if you are only using XBMC then there's no point)
This app used in conjunction with keymap editor http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Keymap_Editor plugin for xbmc/kodi has enabled me to map the picture buttons so for example the movie button goes to my movie library, the 4 square button goes to my android apps etc.
Hope this helped!
