How to trap barcode characters in android browser.

We are using the TC8000 with an online web app that will run in the android browser.  Our app uses GWT at the client.

I am trying to make scanning work without having text controls on the web page.  The problem with text controls is that as soon as you move focus onto a text control in the android browser, the soft keyboard pops up.  We really don't want this when the text controls are only there to accept the scanned barcode.

I have tried an event listener on the web page for the KeyDownEvent but I'm just getting garbage. 

Could somebody help out with solutions to either of these two problems:

1. What keyboard events should I listen for on the web page.

2. How do I disable the android soft keyboard for just two text edit controls.

Thanks,

Ed.
