java onkeydown,在服务的onkeydown？ （全球热键）

What I'm basically trying to achieve is custom global hot keys or in other words 'things will happen when I push certain buttons no matter which program is currently on top'.

I assume a service is needed.

I have a quick and dirty test that just tells me what has been pressed that will work if it is the active window.

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

char pop;

pop = (char)event.getUnicodeChar();

Toast.makeText(this, Character.toString(pop) , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

}

But obviously if I change window or go into a text box it doesn't work. If I stick it directly into a service (or an imputmethodservice) and launch said service nothing happens. (Some permissions required maybe?)

Any suggestions where I'm going wrong? Or a better way of capturing which button is pressed?

Thanks!

You cannot do this :)
