Xamarin Android WebView KeyUp and KeyDown events

Question

I have a problem that WebView consumes the key events and i don't get them in the Activity where i catch the KeyUp and Down, I need them because i use hardware with extra hardware buttons and i need to know when they are pressed.

is there some way to catch the events on the View or is there any way to detect globally KeyUp and KeyDown?

I tried override the WebViewRenderer but with no luck

Answer 1

dispatchKeyEvent is thrown allways first and then the Key events are thrown
