android-input-method

I'm trying to force the numeric keypad to show when my activity and EditText load. It seems there's a pretty straightforward answer given here and elsewhere: you say EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText); InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT); Fine then. So I do this and I include the imports: import android.content.Context; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager; import android.widget.EditText; But when we

I'm quite new to Android native development, and I'm trying to figure out how to customize the IME action buttons. I've looked at the Google documentation, but I can find very few information about the expected behaviour.

Thanks!! grine4ka I've made such a thing AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)

I have developed source code, which is String DownloadUrl = "http://myexample.com/android/"; String fileName = "myclock_db.db"; DownloadDatabase(DownloadUrl,fileName); // and the method is public void DownloadDatabase(String DownloadUrl, String fileName) { try { File root = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); File dir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/myclock/databases"); if(dir.exists() == false){ dir.mkdirs(); } URL url = new URL("http:/

How do you determine which input method is currently active - A user can change the input method (soft keyboard) by long pressing on a text edit field - From code, how does one determine which input method the user has chosen I realise you probably don't need this anymore, but someone might want the answer to this. You can use this line to get the String ID of the Input Method in use: String id = Settings.Secure.getString( getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD ); If you want to get more information about the current keyboard, you can use: InputMethodManager imm =
