Expose Android Activity OnKey* overrides via ConfigureLifecycleEvents #31205
Description
Description
Request to add more ConfigureLifecycleEvents for Android that expose all of the OnKey* overrides available on an Android Activity. This would allow developers using .NET MAUI to handle key events (such as OnKeyDown, OnKeyUp, OnKeyLongPress, etc.) directly in their MAUI applications via lifecycle events, providing finer control over hardware key interactions.
Public API Changes
Add new lifecycle event delegates to ConfigureLifecycleEvents for Android to surface all OnKey* methods:
- OnKeyDown
- OnKeyUp
- OnKeyLongPress
- OnKeyMultiple
- OnKeyShortcut
- OnKeyPreIme
These would be accessible through the Android-specific lifecycle configuration API, similar to other events exposed currently.
Intended Use-Case
This feature would allow apps to react to hardware key events (volume buttons, keyboard, etc.) in a cross-platform way. For example, games, accessibility tools, or apps requiring custom key handling could implement platform-specific logic without needing to subclass native Android activities or handlers.
