Is your keyboard event handle, "onKeyDown(...) method, returning the correct values when they process a specific key ? Do you call the super.onKeyDown(...) and return it's result, when you don't process a key that you don't recognize ?
Does commenting the onKeyDown(...) method make the EditText Control, work correctly again ? Maybe you are just forgetting to call the following on your view: setFocusable( true ); // Make sure we get keys NOTE: without Focus you don't receive any keyboard input !
