As it is this question is incredibly vague. Any more specifics you could add about what you are trying to accomplish would likely lead to a better answer.

I would think you can override onKeyDown or dispatchKeyEvent in your Activity and you'll get callbacks when a key on the keyboard is pressed. It will send you the action and keycode in a KeyEvent object.

textView1.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() { 


            @Override 
            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { 
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub 

                { 
                    if(keyCode == ?) //check it
                    { 
                        //do some stuff
                    } 
                } 
                return false; 
            } 
        }); 

This method just fires when you're using the hardware keyboard, with the soft keyboard it didn't fire. Some suggestion are to use a TextWatcher.
