OnKeyDown(Keycode, KeyEvent)

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Called when a key was pressed down and not handled by any of the views inside of the activity. So, for example, key presses while the cursor is inside a TextView will not trigger the event (unless it is a navigation to another object) because TextView handles its own key presses.

If the focused view didn't want this event, this method is called.

The default implementation takes care of KeyEvent#KEYCODE_BACK by calling #onBackPressed(), though the behavior varies based on the application compatibility mode: for android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#ECLAIR or later applications, it will set up the dispatch to call #onKeyUp where the action will be performed; for earlier applications, it will perform the action immediately in on-down, as those versions of the platform behaved.

Other additional default key handling may be performed if configured with #setDefaultKeyMode.
