Q: 

Android: soft keyboard efficient key press effect?

on softkeyboard, which one is better to give user a visual feedback during keypress:

1.redraw portion of button that was pressed to background canvas of main View to give pressed effect 2.each button has its own "pressed" View, and that View is set to visible (flashing) during keypress event (so no redraw needed but need more memory)

I know its trade-off between speed and memory usage, but I just want to know what you will do under this situation.

A: 

You wont be able to see the key because your finger will be covering it! The character being added to the focused text field might be enough.

I think i still need it to give a flash of feedback which button was pressed, it doesn't need to be on the button precisely, it could be like a key preview on top of the button.

Wow, if you do ANY mobile development, you should definitely play with an iPhone/iPod touch. They do a lot of thing right. Whether you like or hate them, Apple has a polish that most developers strive for.
