onKeyListener not working on virtual keyboard

Question

I don\'t understand why this piece of code is not working. Only backspace and return key are detected. Listener doesn\'t fire for any other key. My device is Nexus One.

View.OnKeyListener

Class Overview Interface definition for a callback to be invoked when a hardware key event is dispatched to this view. The callback will be invoked before the key event is given to the view. This is only useful for hardware keyboards; a software input method has no obligation to trigger this listener.

It seems OnKeyListener was designed for HARDWARE keys only!
