Android :: Keyboard-less Device Support
Nov 9, 2009
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?

I searched some information ( http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html), can I achieve it by:
1. Writing keyboard layout map file.
2. Writing Key Character Map to support "multiple letters per key". ?

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 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 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?

I created a set of text resources in different languages:
res/values-de/strings.xml
res/values-fr/strings.xml
res/values-ja/strings.xml
when a user runs our application, the Android system selects which resources to load, based on the device's locale.
So basically I want to add language option in my application and save user language preference, then load text resources based on user preference.
Is there any way to do this?

Apparently my app needs 2.5 MB (maybe because my photos need 2MB...) and then virtual device can't work with that much MB.
How can I make my virtual device support more than 2.5 MB to get my application working?

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.

Just got a HTC Magic last week and I can't find how to get the device in French and keyboard French Qwerty. The only French keyboard is Azerty and I don't like it. So now, I can't use auto-correct since I want a Qwerty keyboard and it's only when I set it to be in English that I can have it.

The android camera API is bound to one camera device, but in some situation we have lots of camera device in a netbook or handset. We can't use the same application with different camera device dynamically. For example, we can select the camera device in the VLC (Video LAN Client) on windows because there is direct show on it, but we can't do that on android by camera API without changing the framework. Guys, is there any mistake at my understand? Is there any plan to modify framework to support this situation ?

I know the Dell Streak is noted to have the ability to use a Bluetooth keyboard with it. And a mouse, I think? Will you be able to use a bluetooth keyboard with the Captivate? mouse? It runs the 3.0 bluetooth, would that be an issue? Can 2.0 bluetooth devices work with 3.0?

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?

For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

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.
