Indeed, returning new BaseInputConnection from onCreateInputConnection did the trick. Both digits and backspace now work as needed.

Re: [android-developers] Transparent InputConnection?
Dianne,
Since the Squeak VM which I am porting to Android takes care of
editing text itself (by means of Morphic widgets), I just need to pass
events from every touch of soft keyboard to the View in focus. No
special handling for backspace/numbers/nothing.
The input connection I currently have (inherited from the parent
project, I haven't touched it yet) is at its current revision, here:
http://tinyurl.com/4628qth
With this implementation I have working input for letters, and some
special characters, but no input for digits and backspace.
There also is a code in the View implementation (also inherited):
public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor() {
return true;
}
@Override
public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) {
if(!onCheckIsTextEditor()) return null;
return new SqueakInputConnection(this, false);
}
Should I just return null from onCreateInputConnection (or return
false from onCheckIsTextEditor)?
Thank you.

Re: [android-developers] Transparent InputConnection?
I don't understand what you are asking. If you want to not let any editing to happen, just implement an InputConnection that doesn't do anything. If there is something different than that which you are looking for... well you'll just need to implement the operations on InputConnection to whatever it is you want. You say all you need is to pass a key event... but the point of InputConnection is to *not* operate in key events. If you just want raw key events, don't implement an InputConnection. (There is compatibility code that turns operations into raw key events for apps that don't support input connections.)
