Android shift key listener

Question

I need to know when the user hits the Shift key (Soft Keyboard) in my EditText. currently, I'm using an addTextChangedListener, but it isn't called when the Shift key is pressed (though it is when any other key is pressed)

What can I do to know when the user hits the Shift key?

Thanks,

Mat

You have to use View.OnKeyListener

edit1.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
 @Override
 public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if(event.isShiftPressed())
      {

       }
    return false;
  }
});
