Keypress detection without listener

[Ivanov]

Is it possible to find out which keys are currently pressed without implementing the KeyListener?

What I want ot do is to check in MakeMenu if a specific key is pressed to add the additional MenuItem which will be normally not displayed.

In your MainScreen (or other Screen subclass) you could try overriding:

boolean keyDown(char key, int status, int time)

or

boolean keyControl(char key, int status, int time)

Then save the state of the key you're interested in. Just make sure you call super in your function.
