What should I do to get different input keyboards for text input in my Android. For example when I want to input text in Korean, I want a Korean KB. And if I want to do the same in Chinese, I want to get a Chinese keyboard. How do I do it programmatically?

Anyone know where the keys will be larger than the desire? I have fat fingers and struggle with the desire at times.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am new to touch screen keyboards, and the one on this eris works me every time. I was wondering if there is any way to set default input method as t9 for texting but still have qwerty as default for all else? If not maybe someone could direct me to a better keyboard? I tried sharpnote or whatever for a couple days and actually preferred the stock keys believe it or not!

The version I have seen handles English and Chinese characters transparently without needing to switch input methods. Does anyone know if this is downloadable as an app, or what this is?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an AutoCompleteTextView defined as the following inside a RelativeLayout,
<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/edit_tag"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/tag"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionNext" />
When I touch on a choice from the drop down list, instead of setting the text of this view to the one I chose, it clears the view as if no text has been inputted. I tried to debug this and walked through the execution of the program step by step. It seems to have been cleared at around line 123 in Looper.java, which I cannot see the source.
I see there is a TextAppearanceSpan available but no examples on usage. I just want to make the text bold and leave everything else unchanged - is there perhaps a simpler way to do this programmatically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an app I am working on that does some math on a few variables and outputs the answer. Well that's the plan anyway. Being a total n00b at Android & Java I am not sure of a couple of things.1) I have created text fields in the layout file for user to enter values. Instead of text fields should I use numerical value fields, if such a thing exists? 2) How can you convert from a text field to a numerical value and back again?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn some of the AVDs I've created, input text gets displayed as logograms, even in the emulated Browser application (see the screen shot at http://eduneer.com/screenshot_avd_text.png). Has anyone else experienced this or have a tip on fixing it?
OS: Vista Eclipse version: 3.5.2 JDK version: 1.6.0.14
I want to show edittext which will default show faint color text written as "Password". As soon as user focus on it then I want to convert it from text to password type. I did that but its not working.
On focus of the password box. I wrote as follows: Code...
Here it changes from Grey color to black. All text is also cleared. But it doesn't change to password type. Is this allowed to change dynamically input type?
There is NO keyboard or text entry widget... I try to create an new account so i get that form that asks for my email and pass... but when I click on it i get a Google vocal input thing that does not do the work anyway... I went to setting, turned it off, still no keyboard...
cannot find any info not even from Ainol them selves.The tablet works with android 4.1.1...Is there anyways to 1) update to a different aNDROID VERSION OR 2) activate the standard keyboard that we find on ALL tablet but mine..
I'd like to use AlertDialog as a Login or pin code or password dialog. Here is my code -
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("Login"); alert.setMessage("Enter Pin :");
// Set an EditText view to get user input final EditText input = new EditText(this);
alert.setView(input);
alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
String value = input.getText().toString();
Log.d( TAG, "Pin Value : " + value); return;
} } );
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub return;
} } );
alert.show();
How to code that all input text will appear like ' * ' - asterisk. I can't get my pin code value although it shows into asterisk. my code is below
private void accessPinCode_2() {
LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
final View textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.dialog_login, null);
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("Login"); alert.setMessage("Enter Pin :");
alert.setView(textEntryView);
alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
//String value = input.getText().toString();
EditText mUserText;
mUserText = (EditText) textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.txt_password);
String strPinCode = mUserText.getText().toString();
Log.d( TAG, "Pin Value : " + strPinCode); return;
} } );
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub return;
} } ); alert.show(); } } dialog_login.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
id="@+id/txt_password"
android:password="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="250px"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_below="@+id/password_text"
android:singleLine="true" />
I entered the value, but get null! How to solve? Debugging is stopped at this statement. When I pointed above mUserText null value being shown in popup.
String strPinCode = mUserText.getText().toString();
I use Android 1.6. Does it depend on Version?
Does smomeone know how I set the scrollbar position in an EditView programmatically.
I'm appending the text during special events but I want the EditView to scroll down to the latest text added so it'll be visible. But default the scrollbar does not move automatically when appending text.
That thing, you know, where it "guesses" which word you want to type? How do I turn it off? I hate it. Yesterday, instead of asking someone to email me. I asked them to enslave me. I don't care about the occasional typo. I want to completely eliminate that feature but I can't find it in the settings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any Java validator libraries i can use to validate text input from an android app?
i know that in spring there are validators for various different types such as checking if a value is a int, if a value is a valid email, etc etc.
Anything similar in core Java or even android?
cheers in advance. i don't want to re-invent the wheel if its already been implemented. i could always sue Java reg expressions to construct my own ones but was wondering if their was one done specifically for email formats.
I was using xtrSense briefly right before I switched to KaosFroyo v31 and I must say I was very impressed with the responsiveness of xtrSense.That would be my first choice ROM for anyone wanting an Android 2.1 ROM with Sense.Since I switched to KaosFroyo I'm loving Android 2.2 (and missing my HTC sense weather widget,) however it's a good deal less responsive than xtrSense. I turned off JIT because I wanted to go the most stable route, and switched back to LauncherPro.Mostly I notice the reduced responsiveness when typing on the soft keyboard and when switching from portrait to landscape.What's the best way to improve responsiveness in KaosFroyo without overclocking more than "stock?"
View 4 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I type it wont fill in whatever field that I am typing in whether its a text message, search, or web page. The dictionary will come up as if I am typing the word but no actual letters will have been typed. I've tried with both the stock keyboard and better keyboard but it wont work until I restart the phone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLG Dare is a full touch screen phone. One of the input methods actually pulled up a regular dial pad, with letters, and it simulated old t9 predictive text. I have been very proficient with that for years and rather it to a full touch screen key board. Has anybody come across a feature or third party application that would allow me to do that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy biggest pet peeve about the Evo is how the landscape text input takes over the screen, leaving you unable to view new text messages or instant messages received while typing without minimizing the keyboard. This is also a problem when you want to submit a text or instant message and you have to constantly hide the keyboard to do so. Is there a way to stop this nonsense? Also I used to have the Droid X keyboard which I really liked, but it wouldn't work with Froyo - has a new version of that keyboard been released, or could anyone point me in the direction of a very similar keyboard (larger keys, no useless arrows on the right hand side) ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRegarding the lack of Predictive Text or XT9 on certain applications: I contacted google with the following bug report:- Steps to reproduce the problem. Verizon Droid Eris (stock, 1.5 i think): tap the magnifying glass to search the web. use the 9-key phone pad method of text input.
What happened."XT9" text input is locked. only "ABC" or "abc" available. What you think the correct behavior should be. All android applications and functions that accept text input should support XT9 predictive texting for the 9-key phonepad and compact-qwerty. The google folks said the following: "Android does not contain a T-9 input method by default. Please report this bug to HTC, owners of that particular piece of software."And then HTC said the following: Hello Ben Thank you for contacting HTC technical support about the abc/xt9 being greyed out. I have checked on this for you and found that is how the device is set up when using these areas on the apps. There is no way of changing this and I do apologize for that. When entering google searches and also browser addresses predictive text is not available for input. If you have any other questions feel free to reply. You may also enjoy www.htcwiki.com, our customer-based forum, which has a plethora of information on HTC devices. I would also like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey located at HTC Online Survey.
Just wanted to start a new thread so that people can discuss which their favorite text input is. I'm using slideit keyboard at the moment and love it as its so easy just like swype. Thought I would let people know that swift key kb now supports the speech to text function as well, slideit does too. Which kb do you all prefer? Are there any others out there that are worth a try? Post your experiences here and your evaluations so that we can all make an informed choice.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm eying the Vibrant as my first Android phone (yep, starting at the top), coming from a long line of Palm OS devices culminating with a Treo 680. So far I like most of what I see, with two caveats: The lack of camera flash (I've not had one before, but with a 5 MP camera it seems a waste to not have one) and the lack of a physical keyboard.
I've yet to meet an on-screen keyboard I liked, but I've not tried a 4" screen before. Any first impressions, especially from people used to physical keyboards? Good, bad, ugly? Honestly that's the main thing I'm worried about.
I use the phone pad style to text. ABC. Since I installed 2.1 it automatically sticks the phone on xt9. I have to toggle it to ABC before every text. Ive tried like 3 different text apps. They all do the same thing.
