OnKeyListener not working

Question

I am trying to implement an animation on key event. Same code is working fine on OnClickListener but OnKeyListener, nothing is happening. Even no error message on Logcat.

Please help me to solve this problem. Below is my code. Please tell me where I'm wrong.

package com.example.SliderImage;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnKeyListener;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.TranslateAnimation;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ViewFlipper;

public class SliderImage extends Activity {
    ViewFlipper flipper;
    String value;
    int i;

     int menuArray[] = {R.id.gtmain, R.id.gtmini, R.id.gtmore};

     protected void showPrevious() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
        protected void setInAnimation(Animation inFromRightAnimation) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
        protected void setOutAnimation(Animation outToLeftAnimation) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
        protected void showNext() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
        private Animation inFromRightAnimation() {

            Animation inFromRight = new TranslateAnimation(
            Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  +1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  0.0f,
            Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,   0.0f
            );
            inFromRight.setDuration(500);
            inFromRight.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
            return inFromRight;
            }
        private Animation outToLeftAnimation() {

            Animation outtoLeft = new TranslateAnimation(

KeyCodes depends on the keyboard you use. Meaning you may get a different KeyCode from different keyboards for the same key. And remember, from the documentation,

View.OnKeyListener is only useful for hardware keyboards; a software input method has no obligation to trigger this listener.
