I have a server based realtime keylogger, the issue is when I type in passwords it sends null value to the server ! What can I do to fix this ?
The code is written on android and keystrokes are monitored by Accessibility Event handler.

In which cases do "onInterrupt" get called? Isn't it the same as "onDestroy" ? I thought that the OS will try to keep it alive as long as possible, no?

For me this doesn't give any events for Compose views but for xml views this works. Is there anything extra that we need to do to make it work with compose views?
