Hi, I now hooked my key processing into onKeyDown of class SoftKeyboard instead of class InputMethodService. SoftKeyboard filtered KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER events before ;-) The only problem now is that I always absorb DPAD_LEFT, DPAD_RIGHT, DPAD_UP, DPAD_DOWN, DPAD_CENTER and KEYCODE_ENTER after the soft keyboard was visible once. A quick fix to this issue is to declare mShowInputRequested as protected and also check this variable in class SoftKeyboard before doing the processing. Here a public method is needed to decide if these key events should be processed by SoftKeyboard. Method isInputViewShown() of class InputMethodService didn't do the job. Or even better, SoftKeyboard's onKeyDown and onKeyUp methods are only called when the SoftKeyboard is visible.
