Show soft keyboard with no input
<p>I'm implemented an Activity where the control is the soft keyboard (I'd like to perfom some actions when some keys are pressed)</p>

<p>so I'd like to show the keyboard (having no an EditText or similar) and read the touches with </p>

<pre><code>@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

}
</code></pre>

<p>The keyboard should be always visible within the app. Is that possible? How can I do it? Thanks</p>
