onKeyListener not working with soft keyboard (Android)

Question

I am using onKeyListener to get the onKey events. It works fine with the normal keyboard. But it does not work with soft keyboard. I am only able to get onKey events for num

Answer 1

onKeyListener worked perfectly on Android 1.5 via the soft keyboard

From Android 1.6 onwards the character and number keys are not going via the onKey event, yet the DEL key does

Frustrating
