KeyEvent

open class KeyEvent : InputEvent, Parcelable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.view.InputEvent
   ↳ android.view.KeyEvent

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 android.view.inputmethod.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.

Constants
static Int

getAction value: the key has been pressed down.

static Int

static Int

getAction value: the key has been released.

static Int

When associated with up key events, this indicates that the key press has been canceled.

static Int

Set when a key event has FLAG_CANCELED set because a long press action was executed while it was down.

static Int

This mask is used for compatibility, to identify enter keys that are coming from an IME whose enter key has been auto-labelled "next" or "done".

static Int

Set when a key event has been synthesized to implement default behavior for an event that the application did not handle.

static Int

This mask is set if an event was known to come from a trusted part of the system.

static Int

This mask is set if we don't want the key event to cause us to leave touch mode.

static Int

This flag is set for the first key repeat that occurs after the long press timeout.

static Int

This mask is set if the key event was generated by a software keyboard.

static Int

Set for ACTION_UP when this event's key code is still being tracked from its initial down.

static Int

This key event was generated by a virtual (on-screen) hard key area.

static Int

This mask is set if the device woke because of this key event.

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

Parameters
chars CharArray!: The array of matching characters to consider.
Return
Char The matching associated character, or 0 if none.

getMatch

Added in API level 1
open fun getMatch(
    chars: CharArray!,

metaState Int: The preferred meta key modifier state.
Return
Char The matching associated character, or 0 if none.

getMaxKeyCode

Added in API level 3
open static fun getMaxKeyCode(): Int

Returns the maximum keycode.

getModifierMetaStateMask

Added in API level 11
open static fun getModifierMetaStateMask(): Int

Gets a mask that includes all valid modifier key meta state bits.

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

Return
Int The modifier meta state mask which is a combination of META_SHIFT_ON, META_SHIFT_LEFT_ON, META_SHIFT_RIGHT_ON, META_ALT_ON, META_ALT_LEFT_ON, META_ALT_RIGHT_ON, META_CTRL_ON, META_CTRL_LEFT_ON, META_CTRL_RIGHT_ON, META_META_ON, META_META_LEFT_ON, META_META_RIGHT_ON, META_SYM_ON, META_FUNCTION_ON.

getModifiers

Added in API level 13
fun getModifiers(): Int

Returns the state of the modifier keys.

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

The value returned consists of the meta state (from getMetaState) normalized using normalizeMetaState(int) and then masked with getModifierMetaStateMask so that only valid modifier bits are retained.

Return
Int An integer in which each bit set to 1 represents a pressed modifier key.

See Also

getNumber

Added in API level 1
open fun getNumber(): Char

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 KeyEvent#KEYCODE_Q it returns '1' so that the user can type numbers without pressing ALT when it makes sense.

Return
Char The associated numeric or symbolic character, or 0 if none.

getRepeatCount

Added in API level 1
fun getRepeatCount(): Int

Retrieve the repeat count of the event. For key down events, this is the number of times the key has repeated with the first down starting at 0 and counting up from there. For key up events, this is always equal to zero. For multiple key events, this is the number of down/up pairs that have occurred.

Return
Int The number of times the key has repeated.

getScanCode

Added in API level 1
fun getScanCode(): Int

Retrieve the hardware key id of this key event. These values are not reliable and vary from device to device. {@more} Mostly this is here for debugging purposes.

getSource

Added in API level 9
fun getSource(): Int

Gets the source of the event.

Return
Int The event source or InputDevice#SOURCE_UNKNOWN if unknown.

getUnicodeChar

Added in API level 1
open fun getUnicodeChar(): Int

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 -- after masking with KeyCharacterMap#COMBINING_ACCENT_MASK.

Return
Int The associated character or combining accent, or 0 if none.

getUnicodeChar

Added in API level 1
open fun getUnicodeChar(metaState: Int): Int

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 -- after masking with KeyCharacterMap#COMBINING_ACCENT_MASK.

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

hasModifiers

Added in API level 11
fun hasModifiers(modifiers: Int): Boolean

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 Int: 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.
Return
Boolean True if only the specified modifier keys are pressed.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the modifiers parameter contains invalid modifiers

hasNoModifiers

Added in API level 11
fun hasNoModifiers(): Boolean

Returns true if no modifier keys are pressed.

keyCodeFromString

Added in API level 12
open static fun keyCodeFromString(symbolicName: String): Int

Gets a keycode by its symbolic name such as "KEYCODE_A" or an equivalent numeric constant such as "29". For symbolic names, starting in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#Q the prefix "KEYCODE_" is optional.

Parameters
symbolicName String: The symbolic name of the keycode. This value cannot be null.
Return
Int The keycode or KEYCODE_UNKNOWN if not found.

keyCodeToString

Added in API level 12
open static fun keyCodeToString(keyCode: Int): String!

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. This function is intended to be used mostly for debugging, logging, and testing. It is not locale-specific and is not intended to be used in a user-facing manner.

Parameters
keyCode Int: The key code.
Return
String! The symbolic name of the specified keycode.

metaStateHasModifiers

Added in API level 11
open static fun metaStateHasModifiers(
    metaState: Int,
    modifiers: Int
): Boolean

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 Int: The meta state to consider.
modifiers Int: 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.
Return
Boolean True if only the specified modifier keys are pressed.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the modifiers parameter contains invalid modifiers

metaStateHasNoModifiers

Added in API level 11
open static fun metaStateHasNoModifiers(metaState: Int): Boolean

Returns true if no modifiers keys are pressed according to the specified meta state.

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.

The meta state is normalized prior to comparison using normalizeMetaState(int).

Parameters
metaState Int: The meta state to consider.
Return
Boolean True if no modifier keys are pressed.

normalizeMetaState

Added in API level 11
open static fun normalizeMetaState(metaState: Int): Int

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 Int: The meta state.
Return
Int The normalized meta state.

setSource

Added in API level 12
fun setSource(source: Int): Unit

startTracking

Added in API level 5
fun startTracking(): Unit

Call this during Callback#onKeyDown to have the system track the key through its final up (possibly including a long press). Note that only one key can be tracked at a time -- if another key down event is received while a previous one is being tracked, tracking is stopped on the previous event.
