Anyone know where I can find this? I had it on my phone awhile ago but had to wipe and could not find it again in the market. IMO it was a tad bit better then Swype. Both great keyboards, I just liked that one better. If anyone could provide any info that would be great. Thank you.

Android : Need To Make A Custom Button Shape Keep Systems Colors

Nov 4, 2010

I am creating custom shapes for certain buttons but I want them to maintain the systems current color scheme. I thought that by not applying a gradient or color it would automagically take care of this for me but I am mistaken. By doing that I end up with a black button and black text. Any pointers?

Obligatory code...

Android :: 3rd Party Keyboard Have Always Cursor Keys

Jun 22, 2010

One nice thing with the Evo is the always there cursor keys. I like some of the alternative keyboards but they all require toggling the ABC/123 key to get to cursor keys and then you have to go back to the keyboard to continue typing. It's quite annoying, and no matter how convenient they are (better key spacing, swype and what not), I just keep going back to stock for that convenience.

With the Evo being the first 4.3" screen, there is plenty of real estate to throw cursor keys in there with the keyboard as shown. I'd gladly pay for swype, better keyboard or keyboard pro (think that's the main ones), if they were able to do this.

Android :: Intended Usage Of The Next And Done Keys On Soft Keyboard

Sep 23, 2009

The "Next" key seems to move to the next item that could interact with the keyboard.

The "Done" key is less clear to me. It sends in a KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER event. Is it possible to distinguish this event from the down-and- left-arrow key that also sends in a KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER? It appears that you get either but not both "Done" or down-and-left-arrow buttons on the soft keyboard.

Am I missing some documentation about this?

Is it "good UI" to have the "Done" key execute the action that would normally be done on an "OK" button? E.g. for a username and password dialog that has two text fields and an OK button the user touches the username field, gets the soft keyboard, types, presses "Next", types, presses "Done" and the dialog submits the username and password and goes away.

Or is it "good UI" to force the user to explicitly touch the OK button? Possibly having to also manually dismiss the soft keyboard if it covers up the OK button.

Android :: Add Another Virtual Keyboard Do Simulate Control Keys?

Jan 13, 2010

I am working with an hardware that have just five buttons. But I have just one button available to the following functions: home, back, search, soft-back(menu). The hardware is for automotive use, so that is because he doesn't have the common buttons of a cell phone. So I am thinking about create a second virtual keyboard that is called by this available button, to show these buttons that are missing on hardware. I want to know if it is possible to do. If it is, what type of code should I follow to create this extra virtual keyboard? I think a good start is to look at the code of the current virtual keyboard.

HTC Incredible :: Way To Remove Certain Keys From Keyboard?

May 2, 2010

I have a couple quick questions about the Sense keyboard on my Incredible.
1. I'm coming from an iPod Touch keyboard and have been continuously hitting the period that is next to the space bar. Does anyone know if there is any way to remove certain keys from the keyboard? I really don't need a period and comma right next to the space bar on the alpha side. I know it's nit picky, but I like having a bigger space bar. 2. I've noticed when logging into websites that require a Username and Password that I am having to remove the keyboard when I go from the Username field to the Password field. On my iPod there was a "Next" feature that would automatically advance the cursor. Am I missing something on the Incredible? Didn't see anything available for switching data fields.

HTC Incredible :: No Input From Some Keys On Keyboard

May 1, 2010

I am at a little over a day with my first smartphone, the Incredible.I'm mostly impressed, but this keyboard issue is really bugging me. Basically, here's what happens: I go to compose a message, I turn the device to landscape mode, and when I press the W key, it does not input regardless of where I push relative to the key. On rare occasions, it will work, but I can't think of anything that I might have done to fix the problem.I tried to sleep/resume, power off/on, remove/replace battery, and calibrate the text input, but there seems to not be any resolution.Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone figure it out? I'd hate to exchange the phone for this one thing, but you don't realize how often you need the W until it won't function!

Android :: Editing Or Creating A Custom - Web Page Not Available

Nov 4, 2010

I have created a WebView layout, which is used to access a specific website, however it would be useful to edit or create a custom "Web page not available" resource when a handset doesn't have a network connection or the page times out. I know it's possible because if you open the app "Wikidroid" while a handset is in Airplane mode you receive "Article not available" error page instead of the standard Android "Web page not available" error page.

Click here for screenshots of the default and custom error pages. I have search high and low on the internet and haven't come up with any online resources which address this request.

HTC Hero :: Virtual Keyboard - Keys Became Smaller

Jan 7, 2010

I was smsing this morning on my HTC Hero using the normal virtual keyboard that came with the phone. But all of a sudden, the keyboard changed into something different.

The keys became smaller, the number keys are with the alphabet keys(on top), and there is an extra key to toggle to tamil(?) characters. And when I type, there is no more 'feedback' from the screen. The auto correct feature is gone too. how to get my old virtual keyboard back?

Motorola Droid X :: Keyboard With Fatter Keys

Jul 23, 2010

Is it just me or are the keys a little too much on the skinny side? I am coming from an iPhone 3G and I found it much easier to type on that. I predominately type in portrait mode and I find myself having trouble with this keyboard, especially when it comes to the spacebar. This is a huge surprise actually. I was expecting it to be significantly easier because of the screen size, but it just isn't.

Maybe I just need to get more used to it. However, if this problem continues I think I'll have to return the phone because messaging and email are two of the biggest things for me. Can I download any other keyboard that have fatter keys? I tried Swiftkey which didn't really help. Does anyone have better keyboard on their Droid X?

General :: How To Remap Bluetooth Keyboard Keys

Jun 12, 2012

I reecntly bought a Rapoo BT keyb (E6300), it is optimized for the Apple products therefore some keys do not behave as i wish with my Nexus S.

I'd like to find out how (as per title) remap the keys or at least find out Vendor and Product ID...

so, using this command from the terminal: cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I discovered that my KB has Vendor=099a Product=0500.

Now I'm gonna build a custom Keyboard layout, should i create a keyCharacterMap as well?

well, after some more digging, i think i won't need to make a KCM. Still i can't find a way to let my Keyb to use my keyboardlayout. According to catalog it still uses the generic.kl even if in the right directory a file with the keyboard name exists...

Android :: Creating Custom Widgets / Defining Properties In XML For Them

Jul 29, 2009

I would like to create a widget that can reads its attributes from an XML file onCreate. I've created a Custom Button that extends Button widget. I would like to define its layout and styling in an XML, such that the widget can be reused across different views, with the same styling attributes. The notepad sample code does carry some pointers to this problem, however, it defines a XML layout with the component as View, inside LinearLayout, which is not really what I'm trying to achieve here.

Android :: Creating A Custom Image Based Layout?

Sep 26, 2010

Is it possible to create a layout based on (background) images? For example, there is well know app called Appie that uses this picture as a homescreen:

I might be able to recreate the layout with a TableLayout, but this will be difficult to get it perfectly aligned with the buttons in the image. The default layout options make it very difficult, or maybe impossible, to allow for selection of the buttons on the image (especially when the buttons are in an arc-path). Can anyone tell me how this is done?
