Listen to virtual keyboard presses without edit text

Question

Is there a way to get key events when forcing keyboard this way in Fragment onCreateView method:

    getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);

Also would need the keyboard to be in numeric mode.

Thanks.

You can listen keyboard presses if you override onKeyDown method in your activity

    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        switch (keyCode) {
        case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
            ...
            return true;
            ...
        default:
            return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
        }
    }
