equivalent of getch() for Android

Question

Is there an equivalent for C's getch() in Android or Java? I want the execution to stop until the user does some action, like tap on the screen or maybe press one of the hardware buttons like volume control or whatever is available. Another option would be to show a modal message box window, which does not let the program continue until the user presses on OK. Is it possible to do this in a simple way in Android? What is the simplest way to get something equivalent to getch() function in android?

I need to be able to use this in a Thread as well

There's no getch() equivalent function/method in java.

You must event handlers to do that.

Like having click handler for button,Which let you to some stuff on onClick() method,Once you click the button.
