[android-developers] How to capture keyPress of the Next button in a WebView

Hi,

I have an Html input type="number" and when rendered in WebView it
seems to convert this into a WebTextView.

That overrides the onEditorAction to

public void onEditorAction(int actionCode) {
switch (actionCode) {
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT:
if (mWebView.nativeMoveCursorToNextTextInput()) {
// Preemptively rebuild the WebTextView, so that the
action will
// be set properly.
mWebView.rebuildWebTextView();
setDefaultSelection();
mWebView.invalidate();
}
break;
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE:
super.onEditorAction(actionCode);
break;
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO:
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH:
// Send an enter and hide the soft keyboard
InputMethodManager.getInstance(mContext)
.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), 0);
sendDomEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER));
sendDomEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER));

default:
break;
}
}

That doesn't seem to send any KeyEvent into the DOM so if I wanted to
bind to a keypress event, it doesn't get called.

Any ideas on how to bind a keypress event in the javascript side when
using WebView for a TextView that shows the "Next" button. Basically I
want to bind to this button so I can submit a form when it is the last
field in the form.
