EventTime	Retrieve the time this event occurred, in the android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis time base.
Flags	Returns the flags for this key event.
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)

IsScrollLockOn	Returns the locked state of the SCROLL LOCK meta key.
IsShiftPressed	Returns the pressed state of the SHIFT meta key.
IsSymPressed	Returns the pressed state of the SYM meta key.
IsSystem	Is this a system key? System keys can not be used for menu shortcuts.
IsTracking	For #ACTION_UP events, indicates that the event is still being tracked from its initial down event as per #FLAG_TRACKING.
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
KeyCharacterMap	Gets the KeyCharacterMap associated with the keyboard device.
KeyCode	Retrieve the key code of the key event.
MaxKeyCode	Returns the maximum keycode.
MetaState	Returns the state of the meta keys.
ModifierMetaStateMask	Gets a mask that includes all valid modifier key meta state bits.
Modifiers	Returns the state of the modifier keys.
Number	Gets the number or symbol associated with the key.
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
RepeatCount	Retrieve the repeat count of the event.
ScanCode	Retrieve the hardware key id of this key event.
Source	To be added
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
ThresholdType	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
UnicodeChar	Gets the Unicode character generated by the specified key and meta key state combination.
