Android :: Disable Keypad Or Whole Keyboard Support On Activity?
Nov 2, 2010
I 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.
How to totally disable all keyboard input for activity? I use Motorola Milestone for tests - a slider with a keyboard.

i find the phone key pad better than QWERTY/compact QWERTY bec i do most of my texting one hand.. I'm using HTC_IME right now but its still slow to me.. it highlights the words while typing.. i tried betterkeyboard, touchpal, swiftkey, and a lot of keyboard apps but very few has the phone keypad keyboard on it.. and those who have it (betterkeyboard) responses very slow..

I just upgraded to Android 2.1, and I HATE the keyboard defaulting to XT9 style. Is there a replacement keyboard program that will let XT9 be disabled, AND that will let me use the cell phone keypad style for input? I do most of my texting with 1 hand and find the cell phone keypad style easier to use.

Is it possible to make the keypad on the phone not vibrate? I have haptic feedback disabled and the only two things that vibrate are the unlock (which I dont mind) and the keypad on the phone. I would really love to turn that off. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I just got the LG Eve from Rogers a month ago. I was typing a message with the keyboard, and suddenly all the keys weren't working. But the touch screen looks fine. I suspect that I accidentally press something that cause me to lock the keys. Is there anyway to unlock it?

I just bought an HTC desire. I love the different keyboards, but would love to set them as defaults for different tasks. The QWERTY keyboard is too difficult to use while on the move, so I like to use the keypad (mobile set up) when sending text messages. The rest of the time I find the keyboard easier to use but it is a pain to switch between the 2. Is there anyway of setting different defaults, or an easier way of switching between the 2?

I want to specify in code to move to specific activity after pressing back button on android keypad how I can accomplish this. Now I ot the solution to my prob onBackPressed() works after 1.6 version for previous versions we need use:
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) method
My code for this solved prob is
@Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.CUR_DEVELOPMENT && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {
// Take care of calling this method on earlier versions of
// the platform where it doesn't exist. onBackPressed(); }
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
} //@Override public void onBackPressed() {
// This will be called either automatically for you on 2.0
// or later, or by the code above on earlier versions of the
// platform.
Intent i=new Intent(AgesWebViewIndex.this,TabCls.class);
i.putExtra("age", "agepage");
startActivity(i);
return;
}

I use the following code to pop up the soft input keyboard in my Activity
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.getInputMethodList(); imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); This displays the alphabetic keyboard. But I want to display the numeric keyboard. Please note I know that using setInputType() works when used with an Edittext or a TextView but I want to be able to display the keyboard without an input area such as an Edit Text and simply listen to the key presses on the keyboard. Can anyone confirm whether this is possible and if so how can it be achieved?

I'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?

I 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:
CODE:.............
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.

Are keyboard-less devices supported? I am developing apps for an Android device that does not have any hardware keys except for a power button and I have been running into hurdles left and right. Not having a keyboard is not a big problem but my lack of hardware Home, Menu, and Back keys is killing me. By sending a "Go to home screen" intent I can simulate the Home key but I have yet to find a way to have software Back and Menu buttons. Worse yet, even if I did get my keys working I don't see how to make them always available to the user. There doesn't seem to be a way to keep them accessable from the status bar and I haven't found a way of creating a floating menu that always stays on top of all other activities. I might be able to bring up my menu using the power button but I'm not sure it will work. Does anyone have any insight into this?

We have a 2.1 sdk(eclair) version Samsung device, which has virtual keyboard with a microphone indicator to support speech to text (STT). Our application is mostly a text entry application and uses Inputconnection class and committext method to recognize the inputs and put all the entered text on display. In swype input mode, if we press the microphone, the voice recognition automatically runs(shows recording interface, records, synthesizes and sends text to commit text, and hence it is working. However, for "Android keyboard" input , the recording interface automatically shows up, however, we do not receive committext callback, so nothing is updated on our text box after the recording. So, seems we have 2 options:
1. Disable only the mike/microphone keys visibility on the Android keypad. How can this be done?
2. Have the STT to work on the Android keyboard. Seems that the keypad is automatically starting a recording interface - hence we do not know how to even integrate the voice recognition program given in the sdk 2.1 examples VoiceRecognition.java file. How can we detect the microphone/mike key was pressed? Or how can we do this?

I just got my HTC Desire with Android 2.1, and the first problem I'm running into a lot is when using the visual keyboard. Being multilingual and having friends who only speak one particular language, there's no single 'correct' input language setting for the word prediction feature, so I started looking into how much work it might be to extend the keyboard with two rather basic, though essential, features:
1) Showing the current language selection, so that I don't have to type stuff, getting it mis-corrected, then discover the language setting must be wrong, go into the settings, select to change language, select language, etc. until I get back, erase the old text and start over. That gets old real quick.
2) Being able to simple change whatever language is used for the word prediction by just having a button on the keyboard doing that directly, i.e. a button that just cycles through the 'relevant' languages with the key label showing which is currently active. Improving it even further, one might imagine:
3) Having a per contact setting, noting the word-prediction language that should be used when communicating with that user. But searching through the docs, I'm slowly coming to the realization that the input text language setting may not even be available to be changed outside the system settings dialog, making this impossible to implement - is that correct?

In case there is anybody out there who would like to create a support- application to an activity that is already used by everybody on the Internet, the moment has come! I'm particularly interested in developers with deep knowledge of Linux services and/or the Android GUI. Note: this is not yet another password vault or similar, this is about *eventually getting rid* of passwords!

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?

If you are like me, you have been impatiently waiting for bluetooth support for keyboards / joysticks specifically the wii controller.Is it just me who wants this or what?I'm on the developer forums all the time and hardly see anyone mention this.All I know is that the nexus supported this feature, but the Evo doesn't. Seems that Sense UI screwed up this capability.HOWEVER, after installing android 2.2, with bluetooth fully functioning it seems that it still doesn't work which leads me to believe that the bluetooth HID profile is missing.
