How to detect hardware keyboard presence?

Is there a way to detect if the device I'm currently running on has a hardware keyboard installed?

How do I query device capabilities anyway?

    The flags provided by getResources().getConfiguration().keyboard are a good way of checking which keyboard (if any) is available.
