I would like to use some advanced and user friendly qwerty keyboard application in my newly bought HTC desire. I have already seen some good reviews on "Swype", "Better keyboard", "Ultra keyboard" etc. I would like to have your feedback in this regard. Please share with me, whether you are using default keyboard or some custom keyboard application.

I am quite confused on this is InTouch mode or not for a View. Some of the apps I have seen can accept touch and keyboard requests that the same time but I cannot figure out how they are doing it. This is what happens in my app. Please shed some light on why this happens. If I touch the screen the keyboard is no longer responsive until I ackmoved the TrBall which takes me out of touchmode. I have used apps that seamlessly go from touch and keyboard without the need of moving the trackball.

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.
I really like it but i dont know if there is one for cm6 on our heros.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDont get me wrong, the QWERTY keyboard is sick, and I love it. But after typing on the keyboard for while, I wanted to switch it up, so I tried the on screen key pad. And to my surprise, the on screen keyboard appears to be much quicker than using the QWERTY!

View 7 Replies View RelatedFrom what information I can gather from the web, android browser shortcuts are comprised of MENU + X combinations. Is there an equivalent for the Eris? I do not see how this works given the lack of a real keyboard. To open the keyboard take a separate action and when holding MENU to then click the appropriate letter, all you get is the menu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

I would like to play around with some ideas and develop a soft keyboard for Android to replace the default one.
Is there any general information about soft keyboard development for Android out there?
Any best practices or guidelines?
Can I do with my keyboard application pretty much anything I could do with a normal Android application?
Can I do HTTP connections to synchronize keyboard data with a cloud DB and other phones I have?
Can I open other windows/screens from a key press, e.g. to display a custom input interface different to a normal QWERTY one. If that doesn't work, can I use a pop-up dialog instead?
How to detect if the phone has a physical keyboard, and not an on screen software keyboard? The reason I need to do this is because my app needs multiple keys pressed simultaneously, and this isn't possible with an on screen keyboard.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a tabbed view with one Activity per tab, and when I switch from the first tab, which has a TextView, to the second tab, which only shows a clickable list, the soft keyboard is still there. I want it to go away.
I tried this:

But this does not work, because there is no relevant view to provide, as there is no View on the screen that takes keyboard input.
I am new in Android and i am working to make an on-screen keyboard which can be visitable via arrow(direction) keys of my external keyboard. I mean i wanna move left, right, up and down in the on-screen keyboard's UI (keys) with pressing arrow keys from my external(hardware) keyboard. The key that cursor is on should be focused, when i press an arrow key from my external keyboard the focused key should change and when i press "enter" from my external keyboard it should be operated.(written to the screen etc.) How can i make this? Is there any idea? How can i make virtual keyboard's keys visitable? It doesn't look like moving around a matrix of buttons.

I think it would be nice to start thread with your five (5) favorite Android Application & Games.
I'll be the first to start.
1. Waze - Real-time maps and traffic information based on the wisdom of the crowd
2. WiFinder - Nice look WiFi scanner allows you to connect all wifi networks: Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2.
3. Angry Birds - Great way to burn time, i really recommend for everyone even if you don't play much.
4. imo - Stay connected to your friends through all the protocols imo supports: AIM, Facebook, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, MySpace, Skype, and Yahoo.
5. Call Sift - convenient application that only allows urgent calls when you�re busy
I want to be share my favorite apps with friends. Is there an application that makes this easy to do? I want to be able to select an application on my android and click a 'share this app' or 'send link to this app'. I would also like to mark my apps as favorite and have a list of favorite apps be 'shareable'
Any advice? is this possible today?
What I'm doing is getting a list of all the current running processes on the phone. Which I have done by,
private List<RunningAppProcessInfo> process;
private ActivityManager activityMan;
...
activityMan = (ActivityManager)getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
process = activityMan.getRunningAppProcesses();
this works fine. When I call the processName field like
process.get(i).processName;
I get a name like com.android.mail for example.
what I'm trying to do is use this to get access to that application so I can display its icon to the user, but I cant find anything that lets me do this.
I'm testing this app on my hero so the api level is 3 (android 1.5).
Please list down your top android applications you.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid X, and I got a nasty surprise after using it for a couple of weeks: I had gone through over 10 GB (not a typo) of bandwidth already, and earned a friendly call from Verizon telling me to shape up or they'd terminate my contract. Since then I've been running with background data turned off (settings -> data manager -> data delivery -> unchecked background data.) This works nicely and keeps my bandwidth down to usually a megabyte or so per day, preserves the battery, etc, but it seems like overkill. What I really want to find out is what was using so much bandwidth to begin with, and find a way to let my well-behaved apps run and update themselves, etc while preventing these bad ones from running. Anyone know of a way to track bandwidth usage on an app by app basis? Is that even possible? Or, has anyone else run into a similar problem and found a way to solve it?
