Is there a way to get the user input without GUI Listeners or Scanner class? Something like this:
if (Input.isKeyDown(KeyCode.VK_A)) {
// Do something
}
In Unity3D you can get the Users input using this way.
Best regards Morph

Simply you cannot. To capture the events you need GUI controls.Suresh Atta– Suresh Atta2013-10-14 13:36:41 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2013 at 13:36

Unity3D will be implimenting listeners or similar behind the scenesRichard Tingle– Richard Tingle2013-10-14 13:38:25 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2013 at 13:38

Take a look at this page: http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/nightlies/docs/api/com/badlogic/gdx/Input.Keys.html
You will find what you want.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: The link points to a page that contains an interface created for Input in some backends (desktop, GWT, etc.).
It may be useful for what you want.

If you could explain why or how to use that link (or even what that link points to) this would be a much better answer
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
public class KeyPressListener implements KeyListener {
// when a key is pressed
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
// the key you pressed
char k = e.getKeyChar();
// prints out what key you pressed
System.out.println(k);
}
// when a key is typed
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){
}
// when a key is released
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){
}
}
this will get you keyboard input

You can only capture inputs in the context of your application. Else how could you know the user was not inputing on an other application?
In Java you can either use GUI (Swing or JavaFX) or console (System.in.read()) standard inputs.
