Hi,
I'm trying to get input from the user when he hit those keys but cannot
succeed in smartphone.
The input that i get is 'w' for '*' and 'x' for '#'.
it only happens in Smartphone devices and i even tried the function key.
Can you please help ?

Thanks.

*It's a native app - navigation and those keys are used as short keys.

the message that you get probably depends on the smartphone.

e.g. on smartphones that have an alphabetical keyboard, those keys may be
mapped on the same keys as letters.

those keys are usualy on the same category as numbers so the same as i expect
to see '6' when i hit on it, i expect to see those characters.
