Implementing a TextWatcher on an Editable like EditText is quite simple. However, I want to listen for key input without a specific Editable in focus so that the user can launch the activity, without clicking on an EditText or anything. So you can just start typing (hard keyboard) or hold the menu soft key until the soft keyboard comes up and then I want to register these key events.

I have tried having my Activity implement TextWatcher, however the callbacks like onTextChanged() never get called. Has anyone ever done this before?

    I think at that point you want to switch to Activity.onKeyDown() and related.
