I new to use PIC16F877a, now I'm tried the interface between the LCD 16x2 and keypad 4x4. lcd at portD and keyad at PORTB, but my keypad is not working, i work with disable LVP conditions and my program write in mikroC. my question what was wrong in my project?

Hello!

1. You may consider being polite, you could for instance, say hello, please, etc...
2. You don't say what is not working in your project. Did you try to trace the problem with a debugger?

Now I'm not going to compile it, but there is something strange:

In your loop:
Code C - [expand]
1
2
3
4
5
6

while(1) {
        // stuff deleted
        kp = Keypad_Key_Click();             // Store key code in kp variable
        while (!kp);
        // other stuff deleted
    }


Let's say that at first, kp as returned by your click function is still 0. How do you expect it
to pass the while (!kp);?
It will hang there forever.
Solution: remove any potentially blocking loop and it will stop blocking.

Now you may consider changing your program and use interrupts. One personal rule:
never put anything in the while(1) loop and do everything with interrupts.

Dora.
 
Are you working on proteus or live hardware??
 

Why is TRISB configured as 0x01 ? You are using mikroC PRO PIC Keypad library and it will configure the trisx of port used for keypad. Remove the line

Code: 
TRISB = 1;

and see if that works.
 

For PIC16F877A to turn off ADC on all pins you have to use

Code: 
ADCON1 = 0x87;

or 

ADCON1 = 0x07;

or 

ADCON = 0x86;

or 

ADCON = 0x06;

RA4 is used for LCD and so you have to remove

Code: 
TRISA4_bit = 1;

but in your code it is not needed as TRISA is again set to all 0 later.

Edit:

Remove these two lines

Code: 
sbit LCD_RW at RA4_bit;
sbit LCD_RW_Direction at TRISA4_bit;

because mikroC PRO library doesn't use RW pin of LCD and also it requires you to ground the RW pin of LCD. So, ground the RW pin and try.
