I am working to tint all UI elements reddish in an astronomy app. I have successfully done this for basically everything except the onscreen keyboard. I need to get a reference to the keyboard's Window or View in order to do this. I have not found anything in the API for doing so. Can anyone suggest a way for me to get hold of this? I have seen postings explaining (a hack for) how to learn when the keyboard is shown or hidden, but not to actually get a reference to the view. Thanks Bill Can anyone suggest a way for me to get hold of this? Write your own input method editor and hope users use

I made an android custom keyboard . I want to use swiping on Space key on the keyboard for changing keyboard layout to show next language layout. How can i do that? I used bellow class: public class KeyboardIMS extends InputMethodService implements KeyboardView.OnKeyboardActionListener { ...} You can do this by override touchEvent like this : @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) { float x = e.getX(); float y = e.getY(); switch (e.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: mIsDown = true; break; case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: float dx = x - mPreviousX; float dy = y - mPreviousY

I want to create a search bar like Gboard inside keyboard (Android IME) as shown in picture. Gboard Sample : I have implemented an edittext on Keyboardview.xml as shown in picture. My Implementation : main_keyboard_frame.xml <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="120dp" android:background="#cf060610" android:id="@+id/search_panel" android:visibility="invisible"> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="40dp" android:hint="sdsddsd" android:id="@+id/ed"/> </RelativeLayout> But the problem is when i press the edittext 2 (that is

You can set a TextView 's inputType to one of the values from InputType to hint that the typed-in text should be a person's name, phone number, &c. Even if the input method doesn't respect this hint, the TextView uses a KeyListener and/or TransformationMethod to ensure that only relevant characters can be entered, or to have effects like masking the password. Even the flags are more than just hints: they can change the behaviour of the TextView significantly (the most obvious example being EditorInfo.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE ). Google's documentation is very vague about the actual effect of

I have a state list drawable, and i want to get a specific drawable from the state list drawable: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:kplus="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item kplus:key_type_space_alt="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/space_1_pressed" /> <item kplus:key_type_space_alt="true" android:drawable="@drawable/space_1_normal" /> <!-- TopNav keys. --> <item kplus:key_type_topnav="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/tab_down" /> <item kplus

I'm wondering how I can create a custom pop-up like the one in the screenshot below (borrowed from the Swype keyboard), where I can have a couple of buttons, which each commit a string to the currently "connected" TextView (via a InputConnection ). Please note: this is an InputMethodService and not an ordinary Activity . I already tried launching a separate Activity with Theme:Dialog . However, as soon as that one opens I lose my focus with the TextView and my keyboard disappears (and with that my InputConnection is gone). You can try using a PopupWindow . You'll have to do a bit of hacking to
