Please try this

 public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_NUMPAD_DOT) {
        Log.d("dot pressed" "dot presed");

    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Does not really help because '.' does not fire onKey**** at all. – TheLibrarian Dec 12 '17 at 15:09
