Does not work when the focus is inside webview.

The listener (KeyEvent.onKeyDownListener()) does not work when the focus is inside webview. (on Android TV)

Would also love support for this

I faced a similar problem, maybe a year ago. I've fork react-native-webview and add method ref.requesFocus(), its's already in master. You need to focus on WebView to trigger key events on the component. Previously I've done this with a focus on inputs inside WebView, but this sometimes leads to unexpected behavior. I hope I understand properly and it will help you.

@marcupan I'm trying to capture keyevents in the parent of the WebView, but the issue is that when i make the WebView (a video) go fullscreen, i'm having trouble getting the fullscreen to release focus to my component so i can register the keypresses

Any update on this?
