KeyboardListener class - widgets library

A widget that calls a callback whenever the user presses or releases a key on a keyboard.

A KeyboardListener is useful for listening to key events and hardware buttons that are represented as keys. Typically used by games and other apps that use keyboards for purposes other than text entry.

For text entry, consider using a EditableText, which integrates with on-screen keyboards and input method editors (IMEs).
