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

setFocusableInTouchMode(true); //Enable soft keyboard on touch for target view

setFocusable(true); //Enable hard keyboard to target view

example:

public class CanvasView extends View{
    public CanvasView(Context c){
        super(c);

        //enable keyboard
        setOnKeyListener(new KeyBoard());
        setFocusable(true);
        setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    }
}
