Definition

Namespace:

Android.Webkit

Assembly:

Mono.Android.dll

Give the host application a chance to handle the key event synchronously.

[Android.Runtime.Register("shouldOverrideKeyEvent", "(Landroid/webkit/WebView;Landroid/view/KeyEvent;)Z", "GetShouldOverrideKeyEvent_Landroid_webkit_WebView_Landroid_view_KeyEvent_Handler")]
public virtual bool ShouldOverrideKeyEvent (Android.Webkit.WebView? view, Android.Views.KeyEvent? e);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("shouldOverrideKeyEvent", "(Landroid/webkit/WebView;Landroid/view/KeyEvent;)Z", "GetShouldOverrideKeyEvent_Landroid_webkit_WebView_Landroid_view_KeyEvent_Handler")>]
abstract member ShouldOverrideKeyEvent : Android.Webkit.WebView * Android.Views.KeyEvent -> bool
override this.ShouldOverrideKeyEvent : Android.Webkit.WebView * Android.Views.KeyEvent -> bool

Parameters

view

WebView

The WebView that is initiating the callback.

e

KeyEvent

The key event.

Returns

Boolean

true if the host application wants to handle the key event itself, otherwise return false

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Give the host application a chance to handle the key event synchronously. e.g. menu shortcut key events need to be filtered this way. If return true, WebView will not handle the key event. If return false, WebView will always handle the key event, so none of the super in the view chain will see the key event. The default behavior returns false.
