[Android] onKeyPress event not fired for numeric keyboard

[JasperVercammen]

Environment

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
Node: 8.9.4
Yarn: 1.6.0
npm: 6.0.1
Watchman: 4.7.0
Xcode: Xcode 9.3.1 Build version 9E501
Android Studio: 3.0 AI-171.4443003

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.2.0 => 16.2.0
react-native: 0.55.0 => 0.55.0

Description

When using the non-default keyboard on Android, the onKeyPress event is not (or partly) fired.
For example, when using the numeric keyboard, pressing a number does not fire the event, but pressing the backspace does fire the event.
It works fine for the default keyboard, or on iOS

Steps to Reproduce

Issue can be seen with this snack: https://snack.expo.io/B1amtl3ym
Steps to reproduce:

• Add a TextInput
• Attach the onKeyPress event
• Put the keyboardType on numeric
• Log when you come into the onKeyPress callback

Expected Behavior

Call the onKeyPress callback when a key is pressed on the not default keyboard on android

Actual Behavior

onKeyPress callback is NOT called for a numeric keyboard. (for the digits)

It looks like your issue may be missing some necessary information. Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

Let me take a look.

Any updates? This issue is still present with react-native: sdk-28.0.1.tar.gz.
Maybe you need any additional info?

The problem is still there using:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.56.0

Going top left to bottom right on all keys gives me the following output:

{key: "-"}
{key: " "} 
{key: "Backspace"}
{key: ","}
{key: "."}

Note: The enter key also doesn't work ( I was actually hoping to do something onSubmit, suggestions welcome ;) )

For the latest React Native, in a TextInput, typing numbers does not fire oKeyPress for Android 6.0 and below. All letters and symbols do work. Does not affect onChangeText

Android 7.0 has been working fine for me.
