How to send key event to an edit text

Question

For example, send a backspace key to the edit text control to remove a character or send a char code like 112 to append a character in the edittext control programmatically.

Answer 1

Check for key events in your activity. for example, this code listens for back keypress:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK))
    {
    finish();
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
