4 months ago HI @ FrantisekPregis – I’ll put this in my backlog, I need to make some tests and get hold of a keyed device. In the meantime, see if the code I posted here https://github.com/NDZL/DURESS-BUTTON-SAMPLE inspires a solution. Br Nicola

Hello, is there a proper way how to capture a physical key pressed event on the Zebra MC3300 in MAUI?

Hello,
is there a proper way how to capture a physical key pressed event on the Zebra MC3300 in MAUI? I have two use cases:
a) detect a physical key pressed event without having focus on an Entry (e.g. in case a blue function key is pressed, wherever in the app)
b) detect a physical key pressed event with focus in an Entry. I need this to detect the physical ENTER key pressed, because unlike in case of the virtual keyboard ENTER my bound command does not get triggered, only the UI focus moves to the next element.
I experimented with the following: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71976350/hooking-keyboard-events-in-net-maui-specifically-androidhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__stackoverflow.com_questions_71976350_hooking-2Dkeyboard-2Devents-2Din-2Dnet-2Dmaui-2Dspecifically-2Dandroid&d=DwMFaQ&c=Qwsh1H-X9ypOoLLEcAIltRyC0Dw0FG3Mmyd56ahml5w&r=U1B3Lk8Honsy_xtgC17ZQ7saNKD_TQhFfmjOeDxJ__A&m=-FTQxG38LrhDunXkxF72ATS_6Puc1cQqE1CjdsblwzhzWIRwJXJnY4bCD5NMXSJz&s=w0U3Z9E1CFsGjY6yxwk1Ky6ozEdSV6W6Byemjiyfoos&e=
... but this doesn´t work when there is focus in an Entry, in that case the OnKeyDown method in MainActivity doesn´t fire. So I can´t make a workaround.
my Page XAML:
my ViewModel: [ObservableProperty] private string input;
[RelayCommand]
public async Task ProcessInput()
{DOES NOT EXECUTE IN CASE OF PHYSICAL ENTER PRESSED (BUT DOES IN CASE OF VIRTUAL KEYBOARD ENTER CLICKED) }
I am using the MVVM Community toolkit, but I think that it is not the problem.
Maybe other users of the demo app will find this useful as well. We know how to deal with the scanner, but what about the physical keyboard?
