Hi everyone, this is my first post in these forums. (My English sucks beware )

My problem is; I want to capture key events at the lowest level (by a daemon, there won't be any views). All input will be directed to this service first. (So it will be able to deny input event dispatch to any activities running on the system.) I have been trying to find a way for some time now, but is this even possible? If it is; I want to extend the question to this-> Is it possible to intercept input events even for the main screen (the one that pops up when the emulator starts. Imagine that you click on the menu, and the service intercepts this so nothing happens) Can anyone help me on this one, any ideas appreciated.

import android.view.KeyEvent;

public class key extends Activity
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
//setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

//must be outside main


public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_0){
showAlert("Key Pressed",0, "Key Pressed 0", "OK", false);

}

if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_1){
showAlert("Key Pressed",0, "Key Pressed 1", "OK", false);

}

return false;
}
}
