Let me tell you what i really want, actually i have to show an alert box saying "max. limit reached" when the characters limit reaches 100, so for that i need to sense the key events occured and show the alert box. As of now i am able to detect computer's keys, emulator's home,power,call,call_end,volume_up/down etc. keys. But im not able to detect the alphabet keys of softkeyboard.I need a way to capture those clicks.Anyways, thanx for ur prompt response.
