Android :: Input Method Manager - Keyboard (virtual / Soft)
Oct 8, 2009
Inside TextView.java, I have the following code.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext ().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); Log.d("tag", " fullscreenmode test: " + imm.isFullscreenMode());
and also, InputMethodManager imm = InputMethodManager.peekInstance(); Log.d("tag", imm.isFullscreenMode());
My phone is in landscape mode. My application has an EditText. My keyboard(virtual/soft) is not visible. I expect the above codes (written inside TextView.java) to print false. But it prints true. How is that possible?

Is is possible to get the virtual keyboard key events on a custom input field ? I tried using keyboardView, but somehow that doesn't work. Is it mandatory to use the android input method classes to get the events?

I'm having a very very strange problem with input and textarea html tags in a WebView. Basically they never seem to gain input focus with the virtual keybaord. which shows a single input box. There is now way just tapping around the screen to get it to accept input. Strangely, if I use my trackball on my G1 to select the field, I can eventually get focus and type in it. For trackball-less things like the N1, that doesn't help though.

I have a class that extends ImageView, which also handles keyboard input, currently via OnKeyListener, which works great with the 1.1 sdk, but how do I port this to the 1.5 sdk? How do I get the soft keyboard to load for this View? I haven't found a ton of documentation regarding the new input framework.

I am trying to do something that I thought would be simple, yet I still haven't found the right approach. I have a Edit Text field that should only accept unsigned decimal entries. Using android:input Type="number Decimal" in my layout xml file achieves this, however the soft keyboard that is raised with this input Type is the standard keyboard but just uses the alternate view with the number row on top. This is far from ideal for a field that only allows numbers. A much better soft keyboard for numeric entry is the "phone" one. It has all of the numbers and a decimal. Perfect!! Well, except that for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use both the phone keyboard AND allow only numeric entry. I've tried everything I can think of but if I use the phone soft keyboard then the input field also allows things like "(" and any of the other symbols available on that keyboard. Is there any way to get the nice big numeric buttons of the phone keyboard along with only allowing decimal entry?

I wonder it is possible to know whether SIP is showing to user or not. A user application(Activity) can show or hide the Soft Input through the Input Method Manager. There is some APIs to handle the SIP. But I can't find API to know status of SIP(it is on showing or hiding).
When SIP is showing to user. It disturbs the UI of the Activity. So Activity should know about the information related with upper case. How can I know that?

I'm looking for an Xsposed module that hides the keyboard input selector from the status bar. I know some custom ROMs have this but I'm looking for one that works on stock android.

I would like to show a custom input field (specifically, one containing only 9-0 and two extra buttons containing decimal separator (, or .) and a delete button). I could create a custom IME, but (as far as I know) that would have to be set by the user as the system-wide input method. Is there a way to implement an input method and bind it to a specific input field?

Can you guys share how can we mask password input in fullscreen virtual keypad. EditText setPinEditText= new EditText(context); setPinEditText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_UNSPECIFIED);)
I tried using setPinEditText.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
Masking the password input in portrait vkp mode works fine with this change but when I rotate to landscape mode, in fullscreen virtual keyboard mode it doenst worked.

How can I make an app or maybe service that looks like (Nexus One touch buttons) for the navigation keys (Home, menu,Back, Search)
The buttons should always be visibly and always stay on top and send the command to the app thats running.
Someone have ideas and sample codes how to do that?
*I see an app with name (Smart Taskmanager) wich always detect when you touch the right side of the screen and then detect when you slide the finger to left.
So I think its possible, with this function I think its possible to implementate the code to simulate the (Home, Meny, Back, Search) buttons.
*I also see and test an app wich show a "cracked display" always ontop so that tecnic maybe shold be useful to always show the buttons/bitmanp on top.
Thoose function, to show the button and catch the "touch event" and send the event to the active program, thats what i dont can figure out how to do.

I'm getting the G1 next weekend and am wondering how long until a virtual keyboard will be available. I really like the idea of having a full slide-out keyboard but I would also like a virtual one so if I'm not wanting to say much I can just use the virtual keyboard or if I'm in an area where it needs to be quiet I don't need to have the sound of the keyboard sliding open.

I tried it and it works so far.
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'm using Android Virtual Device Manager with an AVD Android 4.2 installed. The AVD configuration is like Whenever I clicked on the app Camera, I got the following error message
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.I tried various solutions. I was thinking [HIGH]Menu->Manage apps->All tab->Camera->Clear data[/HIGH].should be able to solve the problem, but failed as well.
The only thing now I can think of is whether I need to change armeabi-v7a to armeabi or not? Should I use armeabi specifically for the emulator, rather than the real phones?

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?

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.

In my app I have AutoCompleteTextView and "search" button. When user clicks "enter" or "search" an Intent is fired and new Activity is started. But in that "new" Activity SoftInput should be invisible, so I make ((InputMethodManager)getSystemService (INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus ().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS); But when user clicks BACK and returns to activity with form he is unable to show soft input back by touching AutoCompleteTextView. He mus use trackball to select "search" button and than touch ACTextView. Bud when he is in "form" activity first time, shows soft input by touching AutoCompleteTextView and presses BACK button he is able to show soft Input by touching field. How can I hide soft input "correctly" (so it can be shwed back in intuitive way?) or hide it like BACK button does?

I have class A, with methods foo and bar, that are implemented by A1 and A2. The functionality in both A1 and A2 is the same. In other words:
public class A {
public int foo() { return 0; };
public int bar() { return 1; };
} class A1 extends A {
public int AnotherFooFunction() { return foo();
} public int AnotherBarFunction() { return bar();
} } class A2 extends A {
public int AnotherFooFunction() { return foo();
} public int AnotherBarFunction() { return bar();
} }
Is it better to keep the code in this fashion, or to swap out those virtual methods as static methods? (In Java, everything non-final/non-private is considered virtual, right?) According to the Designing for Performance section in the Android Developer Docs, I should swap out these virtual methods for static ones. So the above becomes:
public class A {
public int foo() { return 0; };
public int bar() { return 1; };
} class A1 extends A {
public int AnotherFooFunction() { return A.foo();
} public int AnotherBarFunction() { return A.bar();
} class A2 extends A {
public int AnotherFooFunction() { return A.foo();
} public int AnotherBarFunction() { return A.bar();
} }
Is this how it "ought" to be? I fully realize that I may be misinterpreting this paragraph in the docs.

I got confused about whether the default value for android:windowSoftInputMode[1] was adjustResize or adjustPan and thought I might be able to help someone avoid similar confusion. The "Updating Applications for On-screen Input Methods" blog post[2] states that pan and scan is the default mode because it is the safest for existing applications and resize is often the preferred screen layout. But I believe it's a little more complicated than that.
If the outermost View in a layout is a ScrollView then it appears that the default is actually adjustResize. And this makes sense: if the View lives inside a ScrollView then it probably knows how to resize itself. I'm mostly basing this statement on trial and error, so it would be great if someone could confirm or correct me. Maybe this should be mentioned in the documentation at [1]? Or state that it is recommended that applications specify one or the other, rather than depending on the default?

I have a layout with a ListView that contains EditText objects that can requestFocus() when the user chooses to edit the list item. I make sure to call setSelection() on the ListView when this happens, and then have the EditText request focus and then use InputMethodManager.showSoftInput to show the soft keyboard. However, when this happens, the list view is being resized correctly, but the selected list item remains below the fold and the user has to scroll up. This is working properly on 2.2, but is failing on 2.1. Any ideas for making sure the list selection remains visible?

I have a custom dialog displayed to input user info (ID). This appears on top of an activity with an 'Done' button, however when the edittext is selected and the soft keyboard appears, the keyboard obscures the Done button at the bottom of the dialog. The documentation / blog posts are a little dry on info specifically for dialogs, what do I need to include to get the dialog to pan up or otherwise?

I 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!

A friend of mine has a Chinese branded HTC Tattoo. That phone has a really cool input method where you can "draw" the letters on the screen. 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?
