Event for power key won't be delivered to other child window, as it is intercepted in PhoneWindowManager.java

You can add your option in GlobalActions.java

private ArrayList<Action> mItems;

That is not possible except via firmware modifications, AFAIK.

I want to know what is the reason. Its also a key. So why we cannot capture key event or context menu? Please give me relative detail. – Ahmed Abdullah Saeed Dec 07 '10 at 19:56
