I am new to android. I am trying to figure out how exactly does a soft-keyboard on an android device work ? Especially what exactly is the 'behind the scenes' process that takes place ?

My actual concern is to find out how exactly key-loggers on android devices tap key-strokes so that I could figure out how can such an attack be mitigated. Hence I am looking for details in that respect and to that depth.

Any inforamtion on resources on the same will be highly appreciated.

I am new to Android. I am trying to figure out how exactly a soft keyboard on an Android device works. What exactly is the 'behind the scenes' process that takes place so that the application is allowed to receive user input and present it to other applications as keyboard input? Can any application do this, or does it involve special privileges?
