Cannot capture keydown event in a modal

Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

• CLI: 14
• Cross-platform modules:
• Android Runtime: 8.2
• iOS Runtime:
• Plugin(s):
• NativeScript-Angular: 13
• Angular: 13.2

Describe the bug
I am unable to capture the keydown event in a modal dialog.

The key press is coming from a hardware keyboard, not the onscreen one.

I can accomplish this in any other component using:

application.on('KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN', (() => {
	console.log('Keyboard Down Arrow Pressed');
}));

And it works fine.

This is after extending activity.android.ts, and adding:

public dispatchKeyEvent(event) {
    let keyCode = event.getKeyCode();

    switch (keyCode) {
        case android.view.KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT:
        case android.view.KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_UP:
            application.notify({
                eventName: 'KEYCODE_DPAD_UP',
            })
            return true;
        case android.view.KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT:
        case android.view.KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN:
            application.notify({
                eventName: 'KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN',
            })
            return true;
        default:
            return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
    }
}

I have tried every manner of capturing the keypress in a modal that I could, none work.

To Reproduce
Extend android activity to capture a keypress, try to capture a keypress in a non-fullscreen modal.

Expected behavior
Should be able to capture the keypress and console log it, similar to how it is in a component.

Sample project

Additional context
In my modal, I have a dropdown. If I open the dropdown and then press the up/down arrow keys, it navigates through the selections, so the buttons work in the modal, I just don't know how to capture and console log them.

Please let me know if additional info is required.

Commencez par l’implémentation étendue de dispatchKeyEvent dans activity.android.ts et reproduisez le problème avec un modal qui n’est pas en plein écran et qui contient le dropdown. Comparez la gestion des touches dans le modal avec le cas du composant fonctionnel et vérifiez que les événements des touches fléchées peuvent être capturés et consignés sans perturber la navigation du dropdown.
