Android :: Need Keyboard With A Cellphone Keypad Style?

Jul 25, 2010

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.

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.

HTC Desire :: Switching Between Keypad And Keyboard

Jun 17, 2010

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?

Android :: Alternative Phone Keypad Style Text Entry

Sep 22, 2010

I've had an HTC Desire for a few months now, and I just can't get used to full keyboard touchscreen style text entry. I like old school phone keypad style T9 text entry - I find it much faster (well, once I've entered lots of extra words!) than a keyboard and like to be able to send texts with one hand.

However I'm not happy with the stock android keypad, and my phone has just received a new update that makes it EVEN WORSE.

For example, it appears to in fact be impossible to enter accented characters (e.g.). As I occasionally communicate in languages other than english this is horrendous. With the new update they've also removed the shortcuts to ! and ? and replaced them with the voice recognition button, a feature in Android which I have found to be totally pointless (most of the time after speaking something it just says 'processing' for ages, then either fails or comes up with nonsense. Far quicker to type! Whats the point?!?). It's also added some kind of auto correction which I can't work out how to turn off which will prioritise words that I haven't even typed because I guess it thinks thats a more popular word and I misspelled it and I then have to go into 'more words' to chose the bloody word I typed in to start with!

However it seems all the other alternative keyboards are more designed to replace qwerty. I tried SwiftKey for a little while and it's clever, but it's still all querty and I'm not sure I like all the autocorrection - often correcting something that WAS correct into something that isn't!

About to try HTC_IME once I've worked out how to install it, but are there any other phone-keypad-style text entry apps out there to replace the stock android? Just anything that works like, say, an old Nokia or Sony would be totally great. That can't be too much to ask can it?

HTC Aria :: How To Have Phone Keypad Default During Phone Calls?

Aug 10, 2010

When I make phone calls, the default screen is the large Droid with the Mute, Speaker and other buttons. I always end up having to press the Keypad button to get the phone keypad to display (checking voicemail or skipping voicemail greetings)Is there anyway to have the keypad be the default screen during phone calls? It seems like the keypad is used much more than Speaker or Mute.

HTC Wildfire :: Phone Keypad Getting In Way / What Am I Doing Wrong?

Nov 2, 2010

Today my wife upgraded to the HTC Wildfire - so far it's great, but I seem to have come across a small problem, and wondered if anyone had any advice please?

When typing status update, or email on facebook app, or being online through hotmail, gmail, or any other site where you are typing a lot, or where you have username on one line, and password on the other, the keypad seems to be massive, and gets in the way so you can't see what you're typing?

Feb 22, 2014

I'm new to smartphones. I hate the keypad on the calling app. Running 4.3 on xperia z1 compact. Just can't hit the right numbers. I notice that the numeric keypad in a number of apps is a lot more usable, Because there's physical separation between the numbers. I've tried searching around the subject, but just get info on text keypads, not calling keypads. Can I configure my calling app keypad?

General :: Updated To 4.3 Now Can't Bring Up Company Contacts On Keypad In Phone App (Galaxy S3)

Mar 6, 2014

I'm running 4.3 on my AT&T (not sure if that is relevant) Galaxy S3. A few weeks ago I updated it to 4.3 when I saw a message that an update was available.

I keep a lot of work contacts in the phone but over the years I've built a collection of "contacts" that have no first/last name but are simply just a "Company" field with a phone and fax number.

Before 4.3 I could use the keypad in the stock Phone app to spell out company names (e.g. I could pull up the number for "XYZ Widgets, Inc." by typing "XYZ", just like searching for a person's name).

Ever since 4.3 I've been unable to do this. I go into my contacts and they are still shown there. But they do not show up when I'm typing them out. So I have a workaround but it's cumbersome.

Any settings I can change to try to fix this? I took some screen captures of the menu options I have under "call settings" in the Phone app. Link: [URL]

Android :: How To Use "phone" Style Soft Keypad?

May 13, 2010

For an EditText box, the user should only be entering valid numbers, so I am using android:inputType="numberDecimal". Unfortunately, the soft keyboard that Android brings up has numbers only along the top row, while the next three rows have various other symbols (dollar sign, percent sign, exclamation mark, space, etc). Since the number Decimal only accepts numbers 0-9, negative sign, and decimal point, it would make more sense to use the "phone" soft keyboard (0-9 in a 3x3 grid, plus some other symbols). This would make the buttons larger and easier to hit (since it's a 4x4 grid rather than a 10x4 grid in the same screen area). Unfortunately, using android:inputType="phone" allows non-numeric characters such as parentheses I have attempted to use android:inputType="numberDecimal|phone", but the numberDecimal aspect of the bit flag seems to be ignored. I have also tried using android:inputType="phone" in combination with android:digits="0123456789-.", but that still allows multiple negative signs or decimal points (inputType="number" has really good error checking for things like that, and won't let the user even type it in). I have also tried using android:inputType="phone" in the xml layout file, while using a DigitsKeyListener in the Java code, but then that just uses the default number soft keyboard (the one that has numbers only along top row) (it appears to set InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER, which voids the InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE set by the XML layout). Writing a custom IME wouldn't work, since the user would have to select the IME as a global option outside the app. Is there any way to use the "phone" style soft keyboard while also using the "number" restrictions on what is entered?

Android :: Better Keyboard - Switch From T9 Keyboard To Regular Qwerty Keyboard

Apr 18, 2010

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.

Motorola Droid X :: APP - ROOT - Keyboard - Keyboard Manager - Dual Keyboard - Portrait - Landscape Switch

Nov 10, 2010

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.

Android :: Decimal Only Keypad

Apr 27, 2010

I want to have input type for the text boxes that only takes numbers and decimal point. Input type of Number or Decimal, still brings the full keypad and the buttons are small. Input type of Phone does the trick, but not all phones have a comma or a dot to enter the decimal point. What is the best way around?

Android :: Onscreen Keypad Interactions

Apr 14, 2009

I've seen with the onscreen keypad, the application does not seem to be notified that the OSK has been brought in front of it.I would like to be able to change the layout of my screen so that relevant information is visible when the keypad is brought to the fore.I have information onscreen that changes as the user types in a number.Also, the implementation of the OSK in landscape mode completely breaks the functionality of our application since the OSK takes over the complete screen. It would be much better for us if a 12-key numeric keyboard were available on one side of the screen and leave the other side available to the application. Can there be layout qualifiers such as we have with layout-land- keyshidden...such as layout-land-osk?

I've seen this done on a couple of apps (e.g the Nexus One twitter app) and would like to implement something similar. does anyone know how?Also is it possible to get the text that appears by default to auto erase when the user click to edit the edittext box?

Android :: Logic Different Between Using Keypad - With Finger Tapping?

Jun 19, 2009

I have a ListView. When I click a row Item (which are just TextView instances) I want them to remain hilighted (default orange color). The default behavior is that they flash orange.

Strangely, if I use the key pad (arrow up/down) to move between items, it has the exact behavior I want. Why is the logic different between using the keypad or with finger tapping?
