Class KeyEvent

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Parcelable

    public class KeyEvent
extends InputEvent
implements Parcelable
    Object used to report key and button events.

    Each key press is described by a sequence of key events. A key press starts with a key event with ACTION_DOWN. If the key is held sufficiently long that it repeats, then the initial down is followed additional key events with ACTION_DOWN and a non-zero value for getRepeatCount(). The last key event is a ACTION_UP for the key up. If the key press is canceled, the key up event will have the FLAG_CANCELED flag set.

    Key events are generally accompanied by a key code (getKeyCode()), scan code (getScanCode()) and meta state (getMetaState()). Key code constants are defined in this class. Scan code constants are raw device-specific codes obtained from the OS and so are not generally meaningful to applications unless interpreted using the KeyCharacterMap. Meta states describe the pressed state of key modifiers such as META_SHIFT_ON or META_ALT_ON.

    Key codes typically correspond one-to-one with individual keys on an input device. Many keys and key combinations serve quite different functions on different input devices so care must be taken when interpreting them. Always use the KeyCharacterMap associated with the input device when mapping keys to characters. Be aware that there may be multiple key input devices active at the same time and each will have its own key character map.

    As soft input methods can use multiple and inventive ways of inputting text, there is no guarantee that any key press on a soft keyboard will generate a key event: this is left to the IME's discretion, and in fact sending such events is discouraged. You should never rely on receiving KeyEvents for any key on a soft input method. In particular, the default software keyboard will never send any key event to any application targetting Jelly Bean or later, and will only send events for some presses of the delete and return keys to applications targetting Ice Cream Sandwich or earlier. Be aware that other software input methods may never send key events regardless of the version. Consider using editor actions like EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE if you need specific interaction with the software keyboard, as it gives more visibility to the user as to how your application will react to key presses.

    When interacting with an IME, the framework may deliver key events with the special action ACTION_MULTIPLE that either specifies that single repeated key code or a sequence of characters to insert.

    In general, the framework cannot guarantee that the key events it delivers to a view always constitute complete key sequences since some events may be dropped or modified by containing views before they are delivered. The view implementation should be prepared to handle FLAG_CANCELED and should tolerate anomalous situations such as receiving a new ACTION_DOWN without first having received an ACTION_UP for the prior key press.

    Refer to InputDevice for more information about how different kinds of input devices and sources represent keys and buttons.

      • normalizeMetaState

        public static int normalizeMetaState(int metaState)
        Normalizes the specified meta state.

        The meta state is normalized such that if either the left or right modifier meta state bits are set then the result will also include the universal bit for that modifier.

        If the specified meta state contains META_ALT_LEFT_ON then the result will also contain META_ALT_ON in addition to META_ALT_LEFT_ON and the other bits that were specified in the input. The same is process is performed for shift, control and meta.

        If the specified meta state contains synthetic meta states defined by MetaKeyKeyListener, then those states are translated here and the original synthetic meta states are removed from the result. MetaKeyKeyListener.META_CAP_LOCKED is translated to META_CAPS_LOCK_ON. MetaKeyKeyListener.META_ALT_LOCKED is translated to META_ALT_ON. MetaKeyKeyListener.META_SYM_LOCKED is translated to META_SYM_ON.

        Undefined meta state bits are removed.

        Parameters:
        metaState - The meta state.
        Returns:
        The normalized meta state.

      • metaStateHasModifiers

                            int modifiers)
        Returns true if only the specified modifier keys are pressed according to the specified meta state. Returns false if a different combination of modifier keys are pressed.

        For the purposes of this function, KEYCODE_CAPS_LOCK, KEYCODE_SCROLL_LOCK, and KEYCODE_NUM_LOCK are not considered modifier keys. Consequently, this function ignores META_CAPS_LOCK_ON, META_SCROLL_LOCK_ON and META_NUM_LOCK_ON.

        If the specified modifier mask includes directional modifiers, such as META_SHIFT_LEFT_ON, then this method ensures that the modifier is pressed on that side. If the specified modifier mask includes non-directional modifiers, such as META_SHIFT_ON, then this method ensures that the modifier is pressed on either side. If the specified modifier mask includes both directional and non-directional modifiers for the same type of key, such as META_SHIFT_ON and META_SHIFT_LEFT_ON, then this method throws an illegal argument exception.

        Parameters:
        metaState - The meta state to consider.
        modifiers - The meta state of the modifier keys to check. May be a combination of modifier meta states as defined by getModifierMetaStateMask(). May be 0 to ensure that no modifier keys are pressed.
        Returns:
        True if only the specified modifier keys are pressed.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the modifiers parameter contains invalid modifiers
        See Also:
        hasModifiers(int)

      • hasModifiers

        public final boolean hasModifiers(int modifiers)
        Returns true if only the specified modifiers keys are pressed. Returns false if a different combination of modifier keys are pressed.

        For the purposes of this function, KEYCODE_CAPS_LOCK, KEYCODE_SCROLL_LOCK, and KEYCODE_NUM_LOCK are not considered modifier keys. Consequently, this function ignores META_CAPS_LOCK_ON, META_SCROLL_LOCK_ON and META_NUM_LOCK_ON.

        If the specified modifier mask includes directional modifiers, such as META_SHIFT_LEFT_ON, then this method ensures that the modifier is pressed on that side. If the specified modifier mask includes non-directional modifiers, such as META_SHIFT_ON, then this method ensures that the modifier is pressed on either side. If the specified modifier mask includes both directional and non-directional modifiers for the same type of key, such as META_SHIFT_ON and META_SHIFT_LEFT_ON, then this method throws an illegal argument exception.

        Parameters:
        modifiers - The meta state of the modifier keys to check. May be a combination of modifier meta states as defined by getModifierMetaStateMask(). May be 0 to ensure that no modifier keys are pressed.
        Returns:
        True if only the specified modifier keys are pressed.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the modifiers parameter contains invalid modifiers

        Gets the primary character for this key. In other words, the label that is physically printed on it.
        Returns:
        The display label character, or 0 if none (eg. for non-printing keys).

      • getUnicodeChar

        public int getUnicodeChar()
        Gets the Unicode character generated by the specified key and meta key state combination.

        Returns the Unicode character that the specified key would produce when the specified meta bits (see MetaKeyKeyListener) were active.

        Returns 0 if the key is not one that is used to type Unicode characters.

        If the return value has bit KeyCharacterMap.COMBINING_ACCENT set, the key is a "dead key" that should be combined with another to actually produce a character -- see KeyCharacterMap.getDeadChar(int, int) -- after masking with KeyCharacterMap.COMBINING_ACCENT_MASK.

        Returns:
        The associated character or combining accent, or 0 if none.

      • getUnicodeChar

        public int getUnicodeChar(int metaState)
        Gets the Unicode character generated by the specified key and meta key state combination.

        Returns the Unicode character that the specified key would produce when the specified meta bits (see MetaKeyKeyListener) were active.

        Returns 0 if the key is not one that is used to type Unicode characters.

        If the return value has bit KeyCharacterMap.COMBINING_ACCENT set, the key is a "dead key" that should be combined with another to actually produce a character -- see KeyCharacterMap.getDeadChar(int, int) -- after masking with KeyCharacterMap.COMBINING_ACCENT_MASK.

        Parameters:
        metaState - The meta key modifier state.
        Returns:
        The associated character or combining accent, or 0 if none.

      • getMatch

        public char getMatch(char[] chars)
        Gets the first character in the character array that can be generated by the specified key code.

        This is a convenience function that returns the same value as getMatch(chars, 0).

        Parameters:
        chars - The array of matching characters to consider.
        Returns:
        The matching associated character, or 0 if none.

      • getMatch

        public char getMatch(char[] chars,
            int metaState)
        Gets the first character in the character array that can be generated by the specified key code. If there are multiple choices, prefers the one that would be generated with the specified meta key modifier state.
        Parameters:
        chars - The array of matching characters to consider.
        metaState - The preferred meta key modifier state.
        Returns:
        The matching associated character, or 0 if none.

      • getNumber

        public char getNumber()
        Gets the number or symbol associated with the key.

        The character value is returned, not the numeric value. If the key is not a number, but is a symbol, the symbol is retuned.

        This method is intended to to support dial pads and other numeric or symbolic entry on keyboards where certain keys serve dual function as alphabetic and symbolic keys. This method returns the number or symbol associated with the key independent of whether the user has pressed the required modifier.

        For example, on one particular keyboard the keys on the top QWERTY row generate numbers when ALT is pressed such that ALT-Q maps to '1'. So for that keyboard when getNumber() is called with KEYCODE_Q it returns '1' so that the user can type numbers without pressing ALT when it makes sense.

        Returns:
        The associated numeric or symbolic character, or 0 if none.

      • isPrintingKey

        public boolean isPrintingKey()
        Returns true if this key produces a glyph.
        Returns:
        True if the key is a printing key.

      • dispatch

        public final boolean dispatch(KeyEvent.Callback receiver,
               KeyEvent.DispatcherState state,
               Object target)
        Deliver this key event to a KeyEvent.Callback interface. If this is an ACTION_MULTIPLE event and it is not handled, then an attempt will be made to deliver a single normal event.
        Parameters:
        receiver - The Callback that will be given the event.
        state - State information retained across events.
        target - The target of the dispatch, for use in tracking.
        Returns:
        The return value from the Callback method that was called.

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Description copied from class: Object
        Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 
           getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

        See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a printable representation of this object.

      • actionToString

        public static String actionToString(int action)
        Returns a string that represents the symbolic name of the specified action such as "ACTION_DOWN", or an equivalent numeric constant such as "35" if unknown.
        Parameters:
        action - The action.
        Returns:
        The symbolic name of the specified action.

      • keyCodeToString

        public static String keyCodeToString(int keyCode)
        Returns a string that represents the symbolic name of the specified keycode such as "KEYCODE_A", "KEYCODE_DPAD_UP", or an equivalent numeric constant such as "1001" if unknown.
        Parameters:
        keyCode - The key code.
        Returns:
        The symbolic name of the specified keycode.
        See Also:
        KeyCharacterMap.getDisplayLabel(int)

      • keyCodeFromString

        public static int keyCodeFromString(String symbolicName)
        Gets a keycode by its symbolic name such as "KEYCODE_A" or an equivalent numeric constant such as "1001".
        Parameters:
        symbolicName - The symbolic name of the keycode.
        Returns:
        The keycode or KEYCODE_UNKNOWN if not found.
        See Also:
        #keycodeToString

      • metaStateToString

        public static String metaStateToString(int metaState)
        Returns a string that represents the symbolic name of the specified combined meta key modifier state flags such as "0", "META_SHIFT_ON", "META_ALT_ON|META_SHIFT_ON" or an equivalent numeric constant such as "0x10000000" if unknown.
        Parameters:
        metaState - The meta state.
        Returns:
