Arrow keys not registering from SSH in Android

[shafer0228]

I've imported curses into a code to control an RPi car using arrow keys. This works perfectly from a desktop keyboard (with and without SSH) but does not function across various SSH clients on my smartphone.

Any idea as to why? Or how to fix this? Thanks

Complain to the phone software developer. I doubt it's something we can fix from the Raspberry.

I have no problems with JuiceSSH on my Android phone.

You don't believe that possibly the key buttons on the smartphone's keyboard is registering as a different character than the one I've assigned the arrow keys on my pc's keyboard?

Ex. KEY_UP in curses is associated with the up arrow key on my laptop keyboard. However, the up arrow key on my smartphone keyboard may be registered as a different character or function.

Doesn't that make it an Android problem?

Have you tried JuiceSSH? Have you tried any other Android SSH application?
The bug appears to be 100% outboard of the Raspberry by the way you've described it.

Go and ask the developer. They may be interested in fixing it for you and all of their other users.
