@Override
        public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)  {

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_0)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_1)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_2)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_3)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_4)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_5)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_6)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_7)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_8)
            {
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_9)
            {
                Log.d("Keycode", "Got KeyCode 9");
                return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
            }

            return true;
        }

However it does not work when I display the soft input keyboard in the following mode:

Why is this?

Answer 1

It is because there are different keycodes for the number pad. Unfortunately they were only introduced in API Level 11 (android 3.0, honeycomb) so you will have to find another way to address those guys for maximum compatibility.
