I'd be interested in a separate keyboard for my incoming Verizon Droid Incredible. An actual keyboard, not one of the bitty ones that come with the Motorola Droid, for example, and that attaches through the mini-USB port on the phone.

I am new in Android and i am working to make an on-screen keyboard which can be visitable via arrow(direction) keys of my external keyboard. I mean i wanna move left, right, up and down in the on-screen keyboard's UI (keys) with pressing arrow keys from my external(hardware) keyboard. The key that cursor is on should be focused, when i press an arrow key from my external keyboard the focused key should change and when i press "enter" from my external keyboard it should be operated.(written to the screen etc.) How can i make this? Is there any idea? How can i make virtual keyboard's keys visitable? It doesn't look like moving around a matrix of buttons.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Are their any options for any form of external full-sized keyboard for the Eris? It'd be nice to have just one electronic device to bring to school to take notes on. Oh, I don't know if this matters, but I'm still on 1.5.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a fairly new user and am a fan of Android. I'm looking for an external folding keyboard that will work with the HTC Hero or T-Mobile Mytouch. (I own both). The touch screen is just not usable for data input. I used to own an HP Palmtop and the external folding keyboard made it an excellent choice. Why no such connection for an Android phone?

I have the basic pinout, but is there a reference and instruction set guide anywhere, preferably with example code? Has anyone had any luck developing similar peripherals?

I downloaded Android 2.2 this morning. Note: I did not attempt to sync my
"corporate" microsoft exchange calendar before today so I have no knowledge of how this may have worked on Android 2.1. I believe I read somewhere that 2.1 allowed for separate or multiple calendars.
I just set up my "Corporate Sync" account today on my stock Droid X and it merged all of my work's Calendar events (via exchange) with my Personal Gmail Calendar events into one calendar.
I'd prefer to keep these things calendars separate as it's hard enough to not think about work when I'm not at home!
I have 2 Questions:
(1) Does anyone know if there is a way to have two separate calendars (i.e. one for work, and one personal)?
(2) If I add an event to my Google Calendar will it sync to my Corporate Calendar? I'm assuming No since I don't think it does it in the opposite manner (e.g. Corporate calendar doesn't sync to Google Calendar).
Jorte also merged all my Work events and Personal events together despite the settings only stating that it will only sync my Google Calendar. So I can't use Jorte and Google to view Personal and Work calendars that way.
I will be purchasing a droid tomorrow but it will be my company phone, when i download apps will i be able to pay out of pocket or will they be charged to the bill? I have never owned smartphone before so i don't know how they work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is probably something simple that I am overlooking, but I played around with the phone and searched the forum. I have a hotmail and another POP email for work. They both come up under the standard email icon and are working fine. The question is, how do I get each one to have it's own notification sound. I don't want any sound for hotmail because I get a lot of mail on it. I do want my work account to sound though. If I try to change the setting on one, it automatically changes the other one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have 7 different images as backgrounds/wallpaper as apposed to one large image that scrolls? I saw a TV commercial with an android phone (not sure which carrier) but as the person scrolled thru the 7 screens, there was a different background image/wallpaper on each of them. It definitely was HTC Sense UI that I saw in the commercial.
If not, is there an app that can do this?
I have disabled the messenger and placed it in the drawer. I downloaded handcent and ringo lite. I would like to have a general ring tone for incoming texts. However, fire department and my wife I would like to assign seperate notification tones. In addition I would like to download ringtones other than the standard ones on the phone. I see them in the phone ringer section but not in messaging. How do I get them in there. I am new to this so I need detailed instruction.

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 have the HTC Eris which is my own private device. I am currently synced up to my employers email server which allows me access to my work email. I would like to sync my home computer and email to this device and I don't know how to go about it. Also, if I do this, would all of my info be private or sperate from my work email? Again the Verizon account is my own plan and this is not a company provided device.
I also would like to know how to transfer photos from my phone to my desktop . Do I need an app for that or can I just sync to my desktop and transfer them directly?
I have an application that starts on boot using a broadcast receiver, also I have an activity and a process, because the service must run always on the background I am starting the service on it's own process using the android:process manifest tag.The ui is only for presentational needs and I would like the user to be able to run the service even if the activity is not active.when I press the back button or the home button the activity's on destroy method is called and the service although seems its running (it appears on the task manager) its not behaving as supposed, it should connect to the net and send some data but every X time using an timer task but the task never fires so the data are never send.

I connected my phone to my computer through disk drive so that I could manage the Gallery. I found my Gallery in the DCIM folder and created three new folders within that folder.
However, if I go to the Gallery on my Desire Z, all my pictures are still lumped into one main folder. A friend of mine, who also has the Z said that his pictures are not in the DCIM folder, but somewhere else on his SD card.
Am I doing something wrong, did I create folders in the wrond location or is something else going on here? It should be possible to have several seperate folders in your gallery, right?
I am playing with WidgetLocker and the power bar just looks ugly.
I remember seeing some people were able to put 1x1 controls for certain things. I would like mobile data, airplane mode, and brightness. Can someone suggest the method?
1. Email (i use gmail)
2. SMS
3. MMS
4. All Others
I would like to set a ringtone for all 4 of them, but different sounds. How do i do that?

If you open up the app drawer, there is an icon titled "Navigation" and it's a blueish arrowhead.
Click that and it opens up Navigation for Google. Press the top right button that looks like an "M". And you will be able to see the map in 3D mode and just drive around without a destination. As far as I know, it only works in few countries/areas? any of you wanting to save money on buying a seperate GPS Nav unit.
When I go into my gallery for pictures I have roughly 200 pictures, its annoying to find the one I want, is it possible to split them into separate folders (e.g. "Personal", "Wallpapers", "Icons")? I don't mind downloading an app or two to achieve this, I just don't like all my photos being thrown together.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have the following code running on my Android device. It works great and displays my list items wonderfully. It's also clever in the fact it only downloads the data when it's needed by the ArrayAdapter. However, whilst the download of the thumbnail is occurring, the entire list stalls and you cannot scroll until it's finished downloading. Is there any way of threading this so it'll still scroll happily, maybe show a place holder for the downloading image, finish the download, and then show?
I think I just need to put my downloadImage class into it's own thread so its executed separately from the UI. But how to add this into my code is the mystery!
