Android: How to add listener to hardware menu button?

Question

I\'m currently trying to add a click listener to the menu hardware button. Currently I\'m just putting my onclick logic into the onCreatePanelMenu-method and return false. B

If you need some code samples you can try this:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    switch (item.getItemId())
    {
        case R.id.preferences:
            showPreferencesActivity();
            return true;
        case R.id.logOff:
            logOff();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

The above should be pretty self explanotory - it sets a menu with the options to show preferences or log off.
