How to get keypresses from a webview

[NeoTechni]

In my program, I draw all the UI elements myself, except for a webview control
When the webview is visible, it absorbs all the keypress events. I don't want it to. Is there any way I can get keypress events from it? I'd like to be able to let is absorb arrow keys sometimes but not all.

i have no idea if its possible in b4a

but u may use some tricks

in html there is onkeypress Event you can use it and every onkeypress make the page title = the pressed key (it all from the html)

now read the page title from b4a to determine the pressed key

i hope it help

Got it.

MyWebViewExtras.addJavascriptInterface(webview1, "B4A")
     MyWebViewExtras.addWebChromeClient(webview1, "")

where MyWebViewExtras is a WebViewExtras object, and webview1 is your webview.
Then all you need to do is add this to the HTML

<SCRIPT>document.onkeypress = function (e) { B4A.CallSub('Activity_KeyPress', false, e.keyCode); };</SCRIPT>
