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 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.

getAction() value: the key has been pressed down.
getAction() value: multiple duplicate key events have
occurred in a row, or a complex string is being delivered. If the
key code is not {#link KEYCODE_UNKNOWN then the
{#link getRepeatCount() method returns the number of times
the given key code should be executed.
Otherwise, if the key code is KEYCODE_UNKNOWN, then
this is a sequence of characters as returned by getCharacters().
getAction() value: the key has been released.
When associated with up key events, this indicates that the key press has been canceled. Typically this is used with virtual touch screen keys, where the user can slide from the virtual key area on to the display: in that case, the application will receive a canceled up event and should not perform the action normally associated with the key. Note that for this to work, the application can not perform an action for a key until it receives an up or the long press timeout has expired.
Set when a key event has FLAG_CANCELED set because a long
press action was executed while it was down.
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". This allows TextView to dispatch these as normal enter keys for old applications, but still do the appropriate action when receiving them.
Set when a key event has been synthesized to implement default behavior for an event that the application did not handle. Fallback key events are generated by unhandled trackball motions (to emulate a directional keypad) and by certain unhandled key presses that are declared in the key map (such as special function numeric keypad keys when numlock is off).
This mask is set if an event was known to come from a trusted part of the system. That is, the event is known to come from the user, and could not have been spoofed by a third party component.
This mask is set if we don't want the key event to cause us to leave touch mode.
This flag is set for the first key repeat that occurs after the long press timeout.
This mask is set if the key event was generated by a software keyboard.
Set for ACTION_UP when this event's key code is still being
tracked from its initial down. That is, somebody requested that tracking
started on the key down and a long press has not caused
the tracking to be canceled.
This key event was generated by a virtual (on-screen) hard key area. Typically this is an area of the touchscreen, outside of the regular display, dedicated to "hardware" buttons.
This mask is set if the device woke because of this key event.

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.
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.
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 KEYCODE_Q it returns '1'
so that the user can type numbers without pressing ALT when it makes sense.
Retrieve the repeat count of the event. For both key up and 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 multiple key events, this is the number of down/up pairs that have occurred.
Retrieve the hardware key id of this key event. These values are not reliable and vary from device to device.
Mostly this is here for debugging purposes.
Gets the source of the event.
SOURCE_UNKNOWN if unknown.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 COMBINING_ACCENT set, the
key is a "dead key" that should be combined with another to
actually produce a character -- see getDeadChar(int, int) --
after masking with COMBINING_ACCENT_MASK.
Gets the Unicode character generated by the specified key and meta key state combination.
Returns the Unicode character that the specified key would produce

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.
| modifiers | 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. |

|---|
Returns true if no 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.
The meta state is normalized prior to comparison using normalizeMetaState(int).
Returns the pressed state of the ALT meta key.
For ACTION_UP events, indicates that the event has been
canceled as per FLAG_CANCELED.
Returns the locked state of the CAPS LOCK meta key.
Returns the pressed state of the CTRL meta key.
Returns the pressed state of the FUNCTION meta key.
Returns true if the specified keycode is a gamepad button.
KEYCODE_BUTTON_A.
For ACTION_DOWN events, indicates that the event has been
canceled as per FLAG_LONG_PRESS.
Returns the pressed state of the META meta key.
Returns true if this key code is a modifier key.
For the purposes of this function, KEYCODE_CAPS_LOCK,
KEYCODE_SCROLL_LOCK, and KEYCODE_NUM_LOCK are
not considered modifier keys. Consequently, this function return false
for those keys.
KEYCODE_SHIFT_LEFT KEYCODE_SHIFT_RIGHT,
KEYCODE_ALT_LEFT, KEYCODE_ALT_RIGHT,

Returns the locked state of the NUM LOCK meta key.
Returns true if this key produces a glyph.
Returns the locked state of the SCROLL LOCK meta key.
Returns the pressed state of the SHIFT meta key.
Returns the pressed state of the SYM meta key.
Is this a system key? System keys can not be used for menu shortcuts. TODO: this information should come from a table somewhere. TODO: should the dpad keys be here? arguably, because they also shouldn't be menu shortcuts
For ACTION_UP events, indicates that the event is still being
tracked from its initial down event as per
FLAG_TRACKING.
Gets a keycode by its symbolic name such as "KEYCODE_A" or an equivalent numeric constant such as "1001".
| symbolicName | The symbolic name of the keycode. |

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.
META_CAP_LOCKED is translated to META_CAPS_LOCK_ON.
META_ALT_LOCKED is translated to META_ALT_ON.
META_SYM_LOCKED is translated to META_SYM_ON.
Undefined meta state bits are removed.

Call this during onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent) 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.
Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
