Why is the text cursor not there when using Swype? If I type a paragraph and need to change a word, I need to be able to put a cursor right where the word is so I can edit/delete/replace the word. Since it's invisible. Is this a problem or is there a different mechanism to achieve that in Swype?

I've noticed the Galaxy S phones have Swype Keyboards without the microphone icon, meaning you can't launch speech2text from the keyboard. However on the DroidX, the keyboard looks identical, but it does have the mic. Can we download a new version of swype that has this enabled. I like swype but want to be able to talk to my phone.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn the android reference site, it is written in the serCursorVisible section that cursor is visible by default and you can give its value as either "true or "false" to change the its visibility on the GUI screen. But in my case , cursor is remaining invisible irrespective of setting the visibility "true" or "false" using android:cursor Visible = "true" in the layout/main.xml. Should I do something more to make cursor visible on the GUI screen or its a bug in android?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe Swype Keyboard on my wife's Captivate is not working correctly. The SYM button and the one to the left of it are blanked out - meaning they are just black boxes and clicking/pressing them does nothing. She has had to switch to the default keyboard and she hates it.Any idea what is going on and how to fix this?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI found out that if you use the Samsung Keypad that it not only makes your phone a ton easier to use, but it also has an arrow pad if you hold the ?123 button down. I found it when I held down settings in the samsung keypad. Now my frustrations of cursor control are null and void and I don't have to worry about swype getting my text spelling horribly wrong
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe Captivate (and Galaxy S in general) all come with Swype, right? But Swype isn't a market app right now, right? As in, the HTC Aria can't get it unless it is rooted/worked around (not too hard, but a hassle)
So is the Captivate the only phone on AT&T that can officially have swype? We all know that Apple won't let Swype in their market
Is swype coming to the official android market? is it already there? (I don't have an android, but I want one)
Never mind. Contact reappeared for some reason, by itself, after about 10 minutes. Sorry. Useless thread.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you position the cursor in a text box? Evidently, some of the other Galaxy S models have an alternate keypad pop up when you press and hold the ?123 key in a text box.I have not been able to make it work on my Fascinate. See this article for details and do a search for "?123": Galaxy S Tips and Tricks (works w/ Captivate, Epic 4G, Fascinate, Vibrant)Is there some other method to accurately position the cursor as shown above?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know if there's any way to edit the Text by 'dragging' the cursor to the letter you want, rather than switching to the Swype-Edit screen and using the arrows there? Something like what's present on the iPhone(magnifies the text as you drag your finger to move the cursor along).
Seems as though the accuracy of Swype has been going down for me over the last 2 weeks. I haven't messed with any of the settings. The main thing is that it will put in a word that I am clearly not spelling, even if I go so slow and make sure I'm touching the exact letters.
The biggest culprit for me is the word, "WANT". It keeps spelling it as "WASN'T". It is driving me crazy. I am making 100% sure I am not touching the apostrophe at all. And it will still spell "WASN'T". I have to manually type the word "WANT" everytime. There are other examples, but that is the biggest one.
Advice?
Is swype available on Captivate? I haven't been able to find it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI accidentally hit the speaker on the keyboard while in text mode a few times and I just assumed it was for searching BING. Last night I hit it and decided to try to search with it.... but instead what I said got typed into the text that was open!!!! I was blown away! So then I started texting my Bro-In-Law via voice and although it's not perfect, it is very neat! I wish I could read to it and train it better on my Pittsburgh-ees, but if I pause at each word and announciate, it is almost perfect. I just cant talk totally normal. All in all, that is a super cool feature that WinMobilePro could not match.... no way no how. Me likes!

View 2 Replies View RelatedThere was a similar post to this but used an activity and I am using a dialog. This is real simple code and it works int he APIDemo (which is where I pulled the code from to begin with). The dialog display just fine with the correct number of radio buttons, but the text for the buttons does not display UNLESS I press/select an item. Then once I let up on the selection it disapperas again. what in the world am I not getting?
return new AlertDialog.Builder(this) .setTitle(R.string.choose_location_in_list) .setSingleChoiceItems(R.array.select_add_location, 1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) { } }) .setPositiveButton(R.string.add_to_favs, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) { } }) .setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) { } }) .create();
my array looks like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string-array name="select_add_location"> <item>Add to Top</item> <item>Add to Bottom</item> <item>Add and Define</item> </string-array> </resources>
I have a login screen with a edit text password field. In landscape mode, when i try to enter anything into the field, the view kinda zooms into the field with the virtual keyboard on the bottom, and anything i type is visible as plain text; now if i were to hit the back button, it will zoom out and display the entire activity but the text in the field is hidden.
I have tried setting android:password="true", it works only in portrait and when in the zoomed in state.. thats no help android:inputType="textPassword" this by itself is useless.
Just noticed that there doesn't appear to be any kind of optical trackpad on it. How will you be able to do things like move a cursor through text? Are they just relying on the bigger screen to enable more accurate touching?

View 1 Replies View RelatedmyInput.setText(myInput.getText().replace(myInput.getSelectionStart(), myInput.getSelectionEnd(), myText));
myInput.setSelection(myInput.getSelectionStart() + myText.length(), myInput.getSelectionEnd() + myText.length())
I ask because I think this code is much longer than it needs to be - Is there something shorter like myInput.insertTextAtCursor(myText) or is this the way everyone does it?
I love the stock music player's integration into the lock screen, however I hate the ugly purple background, so I changed it. Found the appropriate image in the framework-res.apk, made it transparent, and this is the result. I dislike how the AT&T text bleeds through, but not sure i can do anything about it.
