onKeyListener not working with soft keyboard (Android)

by

I don’t believe an OnKeyListener gets called at all with the software keyboard. It has something to do with the software keyboard being an IME device and IME devices possibly being things other than keyboards. It seems to make onKeyListener pretty much useless though, since it only works on phones with hardware keyboards. I worked around this issue recently by using TextWatcher on the EditText field in my Activity instead of using OnKeyListener.
