Capturing Enter key on Android's onKeyDown <p>I'm making a remote app that requires a keyboard. I'm not using an EditText, I am forcing it to invoke pragmatically.</p> <p>In the activity, I have a semi intelligent <code>onKeyDown</code> code that translates the android keycode into the ascii code processable by my server and sends it:</p> <pre><code>@Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { int asciiKey = -1; if (keyCode &gt;= KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A &amp;&amp; keyCode &lt;= KeyEvent.KEYCODE_Z) { asciiKey = keyCode - KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A + 'A'; } else if (keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DEL) { asciiKey = 8; } else if (keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) { asciiKey = 13; } else { asciiKey = event.getUnicodeChar(event.getMetaState()); } out.println("k "+asciiKey); return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); } </code></pre> <p>But when I press the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key, it's not sending (I've tried the Jelly Bean Default and Hacker's Keyboard). Not even a "-1". The method isn't even being called. It works for most other keys (Numbers, Letters, Backspace, Some Symbols) so it's not the app itself.</p> <p>The code that invokes the keyboard and hides it later:</p> <pre><code>InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); </code></pre> <p>Is there something I'm missing? Also, is there a better way to translate Android keycodes into Ascii keys (specifically replicatable by <code>java.awt.Robot</code>).</p> <p>Thanks for any help in advance.</p>
