I’m just trying to run the KeyEvents sample app through Corona Project Manager and the Corona Simulator … but no key-events actually show up when I click the “Back” button on the simulator.
The screen does show “Build for Android Device” … but I guess I’m missing something. CPM shows a target device of “Droid” and CS shows 'Window"–>“View As”–>“Droid”
Can the simulator not process key-events? or do I really need to go through a whole build cycle to get it to simulate properly?

Key events are only supported on Android devices.
It is not supported by the Corona Simulator, as documented here…
Thanks for the quick reply … I hadn’t noticed that note in the docs!
No worries. The reason we haven’t added simulator support is because we need a “back” and “menu” key event, which Mac and Windows do not have. We would likely have to add support for clicking the Android skin’s “back” and “menu” buttons onscreen to do the equivalent… or make them menu or toolbar options. I dunno yet. There’s no shortage of things to do in the Android world.
