Capturing closing of keyboard

[ondesic]

When a user presses the backkey while the keyboard is up, the keyboard closes. However, this keystroke doesn't seem to be caught by the Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) event. Is there a way to capture this?

You cannot capture it, as it is consumed by the keyboard manager.

Rats. I am moving a edittext up when the keyboard is open and am trying to move it back when the keyboard closes. Any suggestions?

Is this edittext by any chance inside a scroll view?
...just wondering because usually when the keyboard opens the whole panel/activity should move up automatically.

Use a custom keyboard and you can get the keyboard and edittext to do anything you want.

Good option, however, I want the user to be able to use word completion. Guess you can't win them all

Word completion is easy, and there's lots of lists of words on the Internet.

A lot of people use custom keyboards like swype, 8pen etc because they in some way offer better features. We can't just use custom keyboards (unless we really need to) to make focusing, positioning better.

I assumed that it would go without saying that one shouldn't go to all the trouble of using a custom keyboard "unless we really need to". I guess that's what I get for assuming...
