In one of my custom views, I have an EditText. When the onscreen keyboard appears, it takes up too much space for my custom view. I would like to turn off visibility of a few of my components whenever the onscreen keyboard is present. Then turn them back on when it goes away. Anyway I can add a listener of some kind to detect the opening/ closing of the onscreen keyboard?

Is there a way to detect if the device I'm currently running on has a hardware keyboard installed? How do I query device capabilities anyway?

True if the Android phone has hardware red/green call/hang up keys and false if it does not.But not in a key press event as in the code snippet above. He needs to determine this up front if a phone has physical red/green keys or virtual ones.Is it possible and if yes can someone provide a code sample to achieve this?

Is there a way to do this?I am working on a hangman application and need to take input one character at a time. The plan is to have a text area for each guessed letter, and display the soft keyboard when the user selects a text area for which to guess.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to hide all keys except numbers, point and dash and change the dash behavior.
Unfortunately attribute android:inputType="number|numberSigned| numberDecimal" doesn't hide @, #, $ etc. keys.
How can I customize the soft keyboard view? I actually need to show and react to my custom view. What is is the fast and right way to implement it?
Please advise some example or code snippets helps to move forward.
Is this possible? Lets say I have an ACTV that shows you a list of contacts. If I place a T in the ACTV then it may generate a result of 10 contacts. In landscape mode (physical keyboard not open but phone turned sideways), the dropdown list gets covered by the onscreen keyboard. This will generate completion hints at the top of the keyboard. But these hints do not cover all of the data behind the ACTV. There is no way for the user to scroll through the entire list to see all of the data.
There should be someway to force the ACTV to scroll as I move through the onscreen completion hints. This would be an acceptable replacement of the ACTV list. There does not seem to be any such association.
Also, there does not seem to be any public association between the completion hints and your ACTV adapter. Currently, the only way that I know of matching a view(custom and holds data such as phone #, etc) referenced by my ACTV adapter is to do a match on the text placed in the ACTV when selected from the completion hint. I am posting here as the http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5... thread appears to be dead.

Anyway, the onscreen keyboard doesn't activate when a type/search field has been tapped on the screen.

He's other tablet which is the same works, but the screen is cracked so he bought another one of these hideous unresponsive pieces of crap.
When I want to enter text in the browser to search, the onscreen keyboard won't come up. All I get is the "listening" icon coming up to allow me to tell it what I want to search for. How can I enable the onscreen keyboard to come back????
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedReally general, very new to bluetooth. Can we have one android device broadcasting a simple 'hello' bluetooth network (maybe a radius of just a few feet) - then when other android devices come into that area, reply with a 'hello' back? The client devices moving through the 'hello' radius wouldn't need to be always be checking for presence. I'd let the user open an app and check for bluetooth networks nearby. If they find one of these hubs, they can then choose to broadcast back a hello.Is that at all possible? Any general info would be great.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyone have a problem with the onscreen keypad not coming up when a call is in progress? My credit card company called me with an automated message to notify me about possible fraud on one of my credit cards. At one point to continue with the call, I had to press "1", but the onscreen keypad would not come up when I tapped on the keypad icon. I kept tapping but nothing happened, and ended up losing the call. The keypad icon has worked on other calls, just not this one.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that have a Google map on Google Android 1.5 since we have been working on the application for a long time, we are not in stage of upgrading to the newest framework, so we are using 1.5. Now, I have map locations that are dynamically generated and drawn on the map at run-time to visualize some streams, Up to this point the application is working fine, Now my problem is that I am trying to filter the objects ( addresses) to visualize only the on-screen ones. I do NOT want to visualize the addresses that are off-screen. The way I am trying to do this is to check the screen-coordinates of each object (address) before visualizing it, then it the coordinates (x,y) more than (0,0) and less than (320, 460). I should visualize it. I am trying to use this approach, but it is not working for some reasons, I have tried many posts but could not understand why, there must be something missing somewhere that I am not aware of.
View 11 Replies View RelatedFor 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.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI 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 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?
