KeyListener is not working in Java

Hi I want to be able to receive input from the keyboard by the user but I've added everything I thought would allow my program to do this and still it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

class KeyInput implements KeyListener {
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
        System.out.println("keyPressed");
    }
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
        System.out.println("keyReleased");
        //System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
    }
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
        System.out.println("keyTyped");
        //System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
    }       
}

public GameView() {
    this.addKeyListener(new KeyInput());
}

The constructor works fine and KeyInput is an inner class of the GameView object. When running the game, if I press a key nothing gets printed to the system output. Am I missing something? Thanks!
