App Features
-
Real-Time Key Event Tracking
See every single key action your device detects, including things like KeyUp, KeyDown, long presses, and more. If you’ve ever wanted to know why a button isn’t behaving, this’ll spell it out for you quickly. -
Detailed Logcat Monitoring
Get a filtered look at what’s showing up in the Android logcat, zeroing in on just the stuff that matters. You can watch specific messages as triggers happen, without sifting through pages of unrelated logs. -
Kernel Log Insights (Root Needed)
If you’ve got root access, dive even deeper. The app can peek into the kernel log for key event info, filtered for just the keywords you care about. Perfect for advanced troubleshooting or hardware devs. -
Customizable Output Controls
Just want the key events? Only interested in kernel details? The three checkboxes up top let you choose exactly what info you want to see, so you’re not stuck with a cluttered screen. -
Simple, Distraction-Free Design
You won’t see any ads or nagging prompts here. It’s all about getting you the info you need, right when you need it. -
Permissions and Data Export
The app requests access to logcat (READ_LOGS) and can also write out results to external storage (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), making it easy to export your findings if you need to keep a record. -
Works on Multiple Setups
It’s especially useful if you’re running Android on different hardware or working in unique environments, like with BlueStacks, to test how key input is handled across devices.
If you need to track down key code quirks or you’re just trying to figure out what your device is doing with button presses, KeyEvent Display has you covered.
Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
