GetChar() without showing virtual keyboard

Does anyone know how to use GetChar() without showing the virtual keyboard? I'm interested in this for Android (didn't get a response on the Android forum) and can't see any other way to get input from an Android device that has physical USB keyboard attached.

Maybe you can use USB Host Api's functions.

Monkey only compiles to Android 1.6 and I'm not really a Java developer. Ideally it would be great to use EnableKeyboard without showing the virtual keyboard.
