[android-developers] Re: How to post a new key event?
Hi, I am not trying to listen for the "onKeyDown" event in my keyboard view class or keyboard activity - I want the EditText control that is in the same viewgroup as my keyboard view to listen for and respond to it. Do I have to explicitly set EditText views as focusable? I wouldn't think so because I can type on the Android off-screen keyboard and the text shows up in the EditText view just fine.

[android-developers] Re: How to post a new key event?
Is your keyboard event handle, "onKeyDown(...) method, returning the correct values when they process a specific key ? Do you call the super.onKeyDown(...) and return it's result, when you don't process a key that you don't recognize ? Does commenting the onKeyDown(...) method make the EditText Control, work correctly again ? Maybe you are just forgetting to call the following on your view: setFocusable( true ); // Make sure we get keys NOTE: without Focus you don't receive any keyboard input !
