How to make key 'H' to print some text

Question

For now i only need a basic message to be printed as i'll program what i'll actually need later but my problem is:

@Override
    public void init(Canvas canvas) {
    canvas.addKeyListener(this);
}

@Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
    if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
        getStateMachine().setState((byte) 1);
    } else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_H) {
        // Do some other stuff here...
    }
}

@Override
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

This is what code i have for buttons presses. Enter does a task, but H does not.

package instructionpackagev1;

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class Instructions {

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_H) {
        System.out.println("For now, it's a test");
    }


     }

}

So in other words the basis is, how do i get the letter 'H' to print a line when pressed?

Have you tried public char getKeyChar()? If not, this may be a solution for you.
