You can override EditText to return your own InputConnection.

But...  if you want KeyEvents, you won't get KeyEvents.  Period.  There are
no KeyEvent objects involved in this ANYWHERE.  At all.  The user is
touching on the screen (that is a touch event).  The IME turns that into an
edit operation on the TextView (that is a call to InputConnection).  No
KeyEvent.

What you are claiming to want to do simply doesn't make sense.  Let's back
up here and see what you are actually trying to accomplish?  Not timing
between two key events.  What is the goal you are trying to achieve?
