I want to implement a custom input method for certain EditTexts within my app. I understand I need to extend the InputMethodService class, but how do I then add this to certain views? I've tried just using the class name in the android:inputMethod XML property, but this seems not to work. Using the SoftKeyboard example in the 1.5 SDK, my manifest is as follows:..............

I would like to show a custom input field (specifically, one containing only 9-0 and two extra buttons containing decimal separator (, or .) and a delete button). I could create a custom IME, but (as far as I know) that would have to be set by the user as the system-wide input method. Is there a way to implement an input method and bind it to a specific input field?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an easier way of switching my input method/keyboard rather than digging through the menus. (I'm using a Droid X, btw.) I constantly switch between the standard mutlitouch keyboard and the Korean keyboard 단글한글. Multitouch lets you hold down on one of the corner keys to bring up the input method selection, but any other keyboard seems to require going all the way back into my settings to change it, often forcing me to stop what I'm doing and jump out of the current application. Any recommendations? I've looked up things like Keyboard Widget, or Keyboard Manager, but haven't had any luck. On that note, if there's any devs out there that would want to create such a app...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to implement a JNI which render image with 3-party native function. This function call is time consuming, it cost about 1s to return. I found during that time, even if I call the JNI within another Java thread, the whole Dalvik VM is blocked. UI is frozen. I guess that's because Dalvik doesn't implement Java thread with a native thread, so any time consuming native function call will block the whole VM. I wonder how to solve this problem. My best guess is I should create a pthread in JNI to call that 3-party native function. But I don't know how to implement this kind of JNI.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to detect what primary non-touch navigation method (trackball, dpad, wheel, etc) a device is using within the code?
I know that an app can structure the /res/ folders to detect it like this: /res/ drawable-nonav drawable-dpad drawable-trackball drawable-wheel
But what if I want my app to behave differently depending on the navigation input method- is there a way to do this in the code?
I have written my input method on lines of LatinIME. My IME "MyIME" has a service and an activity similar to LatinIME.
Installing it to emulator via eclipse does not seem to work and hence I have tried the following approaches.
MY GOAL: ~~~~~~~~ All I need as the first step to know that I am heading in the correct direction is that I should be able to see "My IME" as one of the available input methods. For example, on any EditText, when I "long click & release", the Input Method menu that pops up must also show "My IME" as one of the available input methods.
However so far the pop-up only shows "Android keyboard" (LatinIME). Hence I tried the following approaches.
Approach-1: =========== I checked out the andorid source code and built & ran it successfully to make sure I got the build process right. I created my project in ~/mydroid/packages/inputmethods/MyIME. It has the package structure 'com.android.inputmethod.myime' (to be in line with Android's package structure, I am not sure if this is required).
I ran a build using "make". Make succeed in compiling MyIME, just like LatinIME and all the android tools were also created. However looking at the build output, LatinIME was installed into /system/app/ LatinIME.apk while MyIME was not installed at all.
Question with respect to approach-1: ------------------------------------ 1. How to get the build process to install MyIME into /system/app as MyIME.apk?
Since install did not happen via the build process, I started the newly built emulator (and newly built ddms to watch logs) and used follownig install approaches:
Approach-2: =========== I ran 'ant debug' to get MyIMESettings-debug.apk. Then I ran 'adb install MyIMESettings-debug.apk'. The attempt failed with the message "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]". Hence I tried the approach-3.
Question with respect to approach-2: ------------------------------------ 2. Why did the install fail when the project was built using 'ant debug'? Is it some thing to do with debug signature?
Approach-3: =========== The build process had created an APK file but hadn't installed it (/ mydroid/out/target/product/generic/obj/APPS/MyIME_intermediates/ package.apk) I renamed that package.apk to MyIME.apk and installed it using "adb install MyIME.apk". The install succeed. However, the adb install put my APK under /data/app with the name "com.android.inputmethod.myime.apk" instead with name MyIME.apk
Question with respect to approach-3: ------------------------------------ 3. Is there any way to get "adb install MyIME.apk" to install into / system/app folder?
Again, what I am trying to achieve is mentioned under "MY GOAL".

For various reasons, i'm trying to write my own input keyboard. So far all is going well except that of creating the suggestions.
I've found the latinIME algorithm, which is all good.
However i'm having major difficulty working out how to load the dictionary in the first place.
I've had a good look round the net, and found various suggestions, but no definitive answers, and i cant seem to get any of them to work.
If anyone has any suggestions on how best to do it, or even better some sample code, that would be brilliant.
LG Dare is a full touch screen phone. One of the input methods actually pulled up a regular dial pad, with letters, and it simulated old t9 predictive text.
