In need a keylistener when my application is running in background. Knowing that KeyEvents can only be handled by Activities, what would be the best way around?
Thanks !
Fortunately, this is not possible in general, for obvious privacy and security reasons. You have no rights to find out what the user types in unless you are the foreground activity.
A few buttons will send out broadcasts if their events are not consumed by the foreground activity, such as the CAMERA button.
