My question is how can I apply onTouchEvent to softkeyboard on Android?

Answer 1

It is not possible to get a touch event for a soft keyboard.

If you want to capture keys as they are entered into an EditText, check out the EditText.addTextChangedListener() function.

Alternatively, try implementing the View.OnKeyListener interface in your Activity, or overriding public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e), or overriding public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event). In all of those cases, you can check what the keyCode or KeyEvent is and handle it as you wish.
