Hi,

I am trying to build a phone book sort of application. The thing is I am trying to capture the characters in a text box and highlight the best match contact accordingly.

The problem I am facing is that I am not sure how can I capture a key press event. I have tried keyChar, keyUp, keyDown etc. methods but none seems to solve the purpose.

Does anyone know how can I capture the key press event for any alphabet or character on the device.

I would try putting a FieldChangeListener on the text input field - it wil get called for each change of the text in the field.

I did tried that, but didn't worked for me. See if you can get the thing done, so we don't have any direct functionality to achieve this?

protected boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time)

but before using this disable field change listener

Hey,

Thanks for the reply, I guess I got plenty to learn about. Any chance if I can get those few lines of code to get this thing done, I have tried everything from my side and I guess I am not able to get it right.

Thanks!
