Public methods

onKeyDown

Added in API level 1

abstract fun onKeyDown(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent!
): Boolean

Called when a key down event has occurred. If you return true, you can first call KeyEvent.startTracking() to have the framework track the event through its onKeyUp(int,android.view.KeyEvent) and also call your onKeyLongPress(int,android.view.KeyEvent) if it occurs.

Parameters
`keyCode`	Int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
`event`	KeyEvent!: Description of the key event.

Return
`Boolean`	If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onKeyLongPress

Added in API level 5

abstract fun onKeyLongPress(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent!
): Boolean

Called when a long press has occurred. If you return true, the final key up will have KeyEvent.FLAG_CANCELED and KeyEvent.FLAG_CANCELED_LONG_PRESS set. Note that in order to receive this callback, someone in the event change must return true from onKeyDown and call KeyEvent.startTracking() on the event.

Parameters
`keyCode`	Int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
`event`	KeyEvent!: Description of the key event.

Return
`Boolean`	If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onKeyMultiple

Added in API level 1

abstract fun onKeyMultiple(
    keyCode: Int, 
    count: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent!
): Boolean

Called when a user's interaction with an analog control, such as flinging a trackball, generates simulated down/up events for the same key multiple times in quick succession.

Parameters
`keyCode`	Int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
`count`	Int: Number of pairs as returned by event.getRepeatCount().
`event`	KeyEvent!: Description of the key event.

Return
`Boolean`	If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onKeyUp

Added in API level 1

abstract fun onKeyUp(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent!
): Boolean

Called when a key up event has occurred.

Parameters
`keyCode`	Int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
`event`	KeyEvent!: Description of the key event.

Return
`Boolean`	If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.
