Is there a mechanism in place to basically force key events to a specific Activity?
I think the problem is this Activity (it's actually at the platform level, but the question is relevant here) is modal, but not necessarily in focus. This is by design. If the Application launched the Activity, who/what is receiving the key presses in this scenario?
