fix: make next and previous action work for Immich Kiosk (WebView)

[robinsmith-source]

This PR fixes the next and previous actions from the remote control api to also work for Immich Kiosk.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get pause to work on Immich Kiosk as well. Would appreciate some help or further advise here!

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The DPAD navigation key event dispatching in MainActivity.kt was modified to send separate ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP events sequentially instead of dispatching a single KeyEvent object, altering the key event sequence timing for WebView navigation simulation.

🐰 A pair of taps, down then up,
DPAD keys dance in rhythmic cup,
Navigation flows with new intent,
Sequential events heaven-sent!
Left and right, the journey's long. 🎮

685-700: Apply the same fix to pauseAction() to make pause work for Immich Kiosk.

You mentioned pause doesn't work for Immich Kiosk. The issue is that pauseAction() only dispatches ACTION_DOWN while your fix for previousAction() and nextAction() dispatches both ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP. Apply the same pattern here.

🛠️ Proposed fix

 private fun pauseAction() {
     if (useWebView) {
         // Simulate a key press
         webView.requestFocus()
-        val event = KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE)
-        dispatchKeyEvent(event)
+        dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE))
+        dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE))
     } else {
         zoomAnimator?.cancel()
         if (isImageTimerRunning) {

656-683: Consider applying the same fix to ScreenSaverService.kt.

The previousAction() and nextAction() methods in ScreenSaverService.kt still use the old pattern (only ACTION_DOWN via webView.dispatchKeyEvent()). If the screensaver service also supports Immich Kiosk WebView mode, you may want to apply the same fix there for consistency.

looks fine to me. Regarding Pause, probably need top add it there as well (in pauseAction)?

dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE))
dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE))

dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE))
dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE))

Yes code-style wise it should probably also applied there. But like I've described in the PR I haven't got it to work with that.

not sure, works as expected with our app.
