I have downloaded SDK 1.5 and now when I enter a edittext field, this annoying onscreen keyboard pops up. Is there a way to disable it in the emulator? It's very annoying and slows my development down.

I am developing an Android application. What I find most annoying during testing is, that the emulator always pops up that on-screen telephone keyboard whenever I click into a text input field. Since I input my data with the keyboard anyway I find that most annoying. Can one switch that on-screen keyboard appearance off? Or can one change that so that it at least presents a mini-qwerty keyboard as my actual device does, not that old-fashioned T9 keyboard?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn one of my custom views, I have an EditText. When the onscreen keyboard appears, it takes up too much space for my custom view. I would like to turn off visibility of a few of my components whenever the onscreen keyboard is present. Then turn them back on when it goes away. Anyway I can add a listener of some kind to detect the opening/ closing of the onscreen keyboard?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWell I was wondering if there was an emulator that had onscreen buttons? I can't seem to find one, also if I can only get it by downloading my to my CPU first could you give me some advice on how to get it to my phone? I hook it up and mount it with a USB, and I moved the file to the phone but how do I access it from my phone. excuse my ignorance but I'm new at this

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like to invoke the Android onscreen keyboard to just retrieve a single character. Is there a way to do this?I am working on a hangman application and need to take input one character at a time. The plan is to have a text area for each guessed letter, and display the soft keyboard when the user selects a text area for which to guess.

Unfortunately attribute android:inputType="number|numberSigned| numberDecimal" doesn't hide @, #, $ etc. keys.
How can I customize the soft keyboard view? I actually need to show and react to my custom view. What is is the fast and right way to implement it?
Please advise some example or code snippets helps to move forward.
Is this possible? Lets say I have an ACTV that shows you a list of contacts. If I place a T in the ACTV then it may generate a result of 10 contacts. In landscape mode (physical keyboard not open but phone turned sideways), the dropdown list gets covered by the onscreen keyboard. This will generate completion hints at the top of the keyboard. But these hints do not cover all of the data behind the ACTV. There is no way for the user to scroll through the entire list to see all of the data.
There should be someway to force the ACTV to scroll as I move through the onscreen completion hints. This would be an acceptable replacement of the ACTV list. There does not seem to be any such association.
Also, there does not seem to be any public association between the completion hints and your ACTV adapter. Currently, the only way that I know of matching a view(custom and holds data such as phone #, etc) referenced by my ACTV adapter is to do a match on the text placed in the ACTV when selected from the completion hint. I am posting here as the http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5... thread appears to be dead.

Anyway, the onscreen keyboard doesn't activate when a type/search field has been tapped on the screen.
The OS is Android 4.1.1
He's other tablet which is the same works, but the screen is cracked so he bought another one of these hideous unresponsive pieces of crap.
When I want to enter text in the browser to search, the onscreen keyboard won't come up. All I get is the "listening" icon coming up to allow me to tell it what I want to search for. How can I enable the onscreen keyboard to come back????
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using an MK802 mini PC. I don't have a USB keyboard yet.
When I plug in a wired USB mouse, I can use that to click on the on screen soft keyboard.
But when I plug in the wireless dongle for a USB mouse, the Android soft keyboard doesn't show anymore (I guess this is because the wireless dongle supports both keyboard and mouse, and tells Android a hardware keyboard is available, so Android doesn't show the soft keyboard).
Any way to ignore this and always show the soft keyboard? Or another keyboard I can download which will always show?
If it was possible to use my physical keyboard to type, and have the android emulator simulate it as if it were a touch (specifically- the button highlights, and letter overlay)
View 1 Replies View RelatedAccording to the emulator docs, you should be able to enable/disable networking with the F8 key. I doesn't work for me and I'm trying to determine why.
I'm developing on OSX Leopard. I've also tried in a virtual Windows instance (Windows 2008 server running in Parallels). No luck in either case.
I've tried the obvious stuff like fn + F8, etc.
Should there be any sort of visual cue that networking has gone online or offline when F8 is pressed?
I only get a phone signal about a third of the times i start the emulator. I've read on these groups that you have to have an internet connection before starting the emulator. Since i'm connected to the internet 24/7 :) this is not the problem I've also read somewhere that you should try do disable all other network connections (which i've done) and the problem persists. I'm using Windows 7 and Android 2.1 + API's emulator. You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I'm developing and Android app using the 1.6 sdk. I'm using a TimePicker and I don't want the soft keyboard to come up when you click on the digits in the TimePicker. I only want the TimePicker to be changed using the plus and minus buttons. I've tried using android:focusable="false" and android:focusableInTouchMode="false" hoping those would do it, but they didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a layout with lots of different imagebuttons on it. Application is developed in full-touch, so there should be no response to keyboard or keypad on all activities except one, where user can input his name.
Is there a way to achieve that?
I've checked on debug, keypress and keypad press result in onKeyDown event. I've set it to return 'false' for all keys. But, for some reason, android keeps selecting my imagebuttons when keypad is pressed. And pressing Enter key result in View.onClick event.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wrote an app with lots of layout screens and it worked OK in emulation but when I ran it on my Droid Incredible the soft keyboard popping up changed the layout of a LinearLayout I was using - shoving some elements aside and changing the height of others! I fixed it by adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan to the Activity element of the manifest but I really would have preferred to discover this problem in emulation and not on a real phone. So, is there a popup soft keyboard in the Emulator and if so how do I invoke it?

I have to test some changes that I capture using getResources().getConfiguration().keyboardHidden and this would help a fair lot :)
I'm working on a Push Notifications library for Android (http://deaconproject.org/) that needs to take action if network connectivity is interrupted or changed - namely, it needs to re-initiate a server connection or pause its operation until network connectivity is available. This seems to work fine using and Android BroadcastReceiver for "android.net.ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION".
My problem is in testing the library - I would like to automatically test the library's response to a broken network connection, or a transition from 3G to WiFi, under various configuration conditions. The problem is, I don't want to sit with the emulator and hit F8 all day.
Is there a way to programmatically manipulate network connections on Android from within a jUnit test without resorting to toggling Airplane Mode? I've already tried issuing commands to the emulator via the console, manipulating the GSM mode, etc, but while the phone state changes on the display, the Internet connection remains up.
Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the vibration feedback from the Samsung keyboard? Disabling haptic feedback works, but that effects the entire phone (i.e. long presses and home keys).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've seen with the onscreen keypad, the application does not seem to be notified that the OSK has been brought in front of it.I would like to be able to change the layout of my screen so that relevant information is visible when the keypad is brought to the fore.I have information onscreen that changes as the user types in a number.Also, the implementation of the OSK in landscape mode completely breaks the functionality of our application since the OSK takes over the complete screen. It would be much better for us if a 12-key numeric keyboard were available on one side of the screen and leave the other side available to the application. Can there be layout qualifiers such as we have with layout-land- keyshidden...such as layout-land-osk?
