error in key event handler

Question

I tried to capture key event for android. Here is the source code i tried:

text.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onKey(View view, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                if(keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A){
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "A Pressed!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
                return false;
            }
        });

But it's doesn't work or show any error. How can i handle the key event for android keyboard?

How can you get the pressed key event on `textview` click listener? — Gunaseelan, Aug 02 '14 at 08:38

Software keyboards don't generate onKey events. Only hardware keyboards do. If you want to see changes from a software keyboard, use a TextWatcher on the view.

So you need to use TextChangedListener, Refer here, based on the text, do your work.
