TextView

public boolean onKeyPreIme (int keyCode, KeyEvent event)

 Added in API level 3

Handle a key event before it is processed by any input method associated with the view hierarchy. This can be used to intercept key events in special situations before the IME consumes them; a typical example would be handling the BACK key to update the application's UI instead of allowing the IME to see it and close itself.
ParameterskeyCode     The value in event.getKeyCode().
event     Description of the key event.

Returns

If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

public boolean onTextContextMenuItem (int id)
 Added in API level 3

Called when a context menu option for the text view is selected. Currently this will be one of selectAll, cut, copy or paste.
Returns
true if the context menu item action was performed.
