How to capture user key strokes on Android?

How do I intercept every key stroke on Android platform when the user is typing keys on soft keyboard?

I have this code, but it doesn't work:

        TextField {
            id: pick_city
            Layout.fillWidth: true
            placeholderText: "London"
            Keys.onPressed: {
                console.log("pressed event")
                console.log(event)
            }
            Keys.onReleased: {
                console.log("pressed event:")
                console.log(event)
                if (pick_city.length>2) {
                    var cc=countries.get_country_code_by_index(combo_countries.currentIndex)
                    cities.net_get_city_list(cc,pick_city.text)
                }
            }
        }

Keys.onReleased (or onPressed) doesn't seem to work at all, the console.log() messages aren't printed. They are only printed if I hit BACKSPACE key. So, how do you listen for keys that the user is typing on soft keyboard in Android?
I need to implement a City Picker, a very interactive search, sort of like the one Google uses when you type query in the input box and it shows you all the top-searched keywords.

Can you try using

Keys.forwardTo:[obj1] where obj1 receives the keys.

Nope. This is the code I tried:

        TextField {
            id: forward_item
            Layout.fillWidth: true
        }
        ComboBox {
            id: pick_cities
            Layout.fillWidth: true
            editable: true
            Keys.onPressed: {
                console.log("pressed")
            }
            Keys.onReleased: {
                console.log("released")
            }
            Keys.forwardTo: forward_item

        }

works perfectly on Desktop, the keys are copied to forward_item. But on Android it doesn't forward anything. And the Key.onReleased or Keys.onPressed events are only received (all at once) when I press Done on the soft keyboard. Unfortunately, receiving these events all at once isnt useful in my case, since I have to make a search in the database (on every key stroke) to show only the Cities that match user's text.
