All:

Let's say I have an Activity with a TextView.

I want to have the Activity capture keystrokes, possibly act upon them and then possibly echo them to the TextView.

The Activity cannot have an EditView - it'll steal the focus.

The only way I can see to do this is to use a brute force method of interpreting KeyEvents, etc in the onKeyDown/onKeyUp method pair.

Is there a more elegant/cleaner way to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help!
