I'm looking for a third party app/keyboard that features the | character; that straight up and down vertical line character. I need it to log into my email, but the stock keyboard doesn't seem to feature it. Anyone have any good ideas?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've searched the entire internet trying to find a way to take the pictures I've made for a Better Keyboard skin and convert them into an .apk file, but no luck.
I don't want to send them to someone to do it for me, because I like to test it every so often to see what needs to be worked on.
So if anyone could tell meskins (clock and weather) not change after selecting and applying them?,
Ok so I know you can make your own skins in Better Keyboard and change the buttons around to your liking. As shown here on the Gum and Oil Slick skins respectively. My question is can I put a button there that access the Settings of Better Keyboard, specifically toggles the "Muli-Tap" setting. Alternatively I would be curious if a button like the one in the bottom "?123" could be changed to say bring up the full Qwerty when in Compact Qwerty, or even vice-versa.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to invoke the Android onscreen keyboard to just retrieve a single character. 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 8 Replies View RelatedI have a TextWatcher set on an EditText that changes the input type after a user types a number followed by a space. If the user types two numbers the input type switches and accepts the next character, but if the user types only one number and presses space the input type still changes but it won't accept the first character the user tries to input. I've tested this on Froyo and 1.6, it only happens on Froyo, 1.6 works like it should.

Does anyone know where I can find the keyboard protective skin/cover that comes with the Moment? I think it does a great job of protecting the keyboard but I've had mine long enough that it has begun to peel off. But I can't seem to find it anywhere online for purchase.

I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?
And how many people use a skin or case, or even screen protector. Personally, I won't leave the house without my otterbox commuter case on, I just feel like it would be for me to leave me house without clothes on, Dones't feel right.
View 45 Replies View RelatedI'm not even sure what to call this thread, so I had a hard time searching the market and threads here for what I need. Back when I had my Treo 650, i had a program on it that would allow me to hold a keyboard button down, and instead of repeating the key over and over, it would cycle through the lowercase letter to the uppercase letter, to the symbol on that key. I'm looking for something similar for my Droid's physical keyboard. Basically, I want to be able to be typing along, and if I press the "G" key get a "g", if I hold it for 600ms get a "G", and if I hold it for 1200ms get a "%". Obviously the hold times should be adjustable. Any ideas if an app like this exists?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to create my own android keyboard following this guide and looking at the latinIME souce code.
While reading the kbd_qwerty.xml file I noticed the different tags used and explained here. I was expecting to see certain tag to reproduce what BetterKeyboard application does. They draw more than one key on each button. Example.
Are they adding images or this is somehow possible from the xml?
Thoughts on which works better. I don't like the better keyboard voice integration as it does not have a dedicated button. I am really debating between talk to me and speech keyboard, unless there are others I am not aware of.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a layout which does almost what I want. There's just one bug regarding the button at the bottom. I should stay at the bottom at all times. But whenever I bring up the soft-keyboard the button will be displayed above the keyboard. This is not what I want but it should become covered by the keyboard.Moreover, I'd be happy if you could comment on how the layout's built.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to remove the Thai/Chinese keyboard button
I've just got an HTC Legend - I have no need for Thai or Chinese keyboard options, but there they are, and I can't find a way to remove them and make the the buttons larger.. Any ideas?
My app contains a page with a form, a long list of EditTexts.
If you're entering text and click the back button, the soft keyboard is hidden. However different android versions behave in different ways. My 2.2 device hides the keyboard, and that's it. My 1.5 device hides the keyboard, and the 'back' onKeyDown/Up event is still activated.
This is very tricky... for the 1.5 device I need to know if the keyboard is being displayed when the back button is pressed, so that I can capture the back event and stop it continuing (all I want is for the keyboard to hide). But I've search all over this forum and there doesn't appear to be a sure way of doing this.
I have the activity with several input fields. When activity started soft keyboard is showed. When back button pressed soft keyboard closes and to close activity need to press back button one more time.
So the question: is it possible intercept back button to close soft keyboard and finish activity in one press of back button without creating custom InputMethodService?
I know how intercept back button in other cases - onKeyDown() or onBackPressed() but in this case it's not works: only second press of back button is intercepted.
I have an Activity with an EditText, a button and a ListView. The purpose is to type a search screen in the EditText, press the button and have the search results populate this list. This is all working perfectly, but the virtual keyboard is behaving strange. If I click the EditText, I get the virtual keyboard. If I click the "Done" button on the virtual keyboard, it goes away. However, if I click my search button before clicking "Done" on the virtual keyboard, the virtual keyboard stays and I can't get rid of it. Clicking the "Done" button does not close the keyboard. It changes the "Done" button from "Done" to an arrow and remains visible.

It is difficult to test a game with the mouse pointer on android buttons. I would like to control those buttons with the hardware keyboard. Actually I don't want to control the buttons itself but I want to control the behavior the buttons would also do. For example I have 4 buttons in the android application with "arrow up, down, left, right". I'd like to use the arrow buttons of my hardware keyboard to control the same. How can I do that? Actually the question is, where can I set the Listener? I tried something in my activity.
