title: How to get an event for soft keyboard KEYCODE_DEL?
body: <p>I asked this previously on the Android dev mailing list but got no reply.</p>
  
  <p>In my application, I bring the soft keyboard on from time to time, and
  it looks like events for the DEL key are not delivered. The method in
  question is at</p>

  <p>and the whole Java class is at</p>

  <p>Any alphanumeric key or Enter (Return) tapped on the soft keyboard is
  passed to the application except for KEYCODE_DEL. I tried to replace
  KEYCODE_DEL in the case clause with anything else (e. g. with code for
  for hardware button PAGE_UP), and the clause takes control when that
  button is pressed.</p>
  
  <p>I did not subclass the Android Keyboard class, just used the default
  input manager.</p>
  
  <p>What can be done in order to receive events for KEYCODE_DEL? Is
  deriving a keyboard subclass the only way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
