How to detect if user's keyboard is Swype?

Question

Is it possible to know the keyboard being used by the user? How do I check if the user is using a Swype keyboard?

Answer 1

The following lets you determine if Samsung, Google, or Swype keyboard is used.

public boolean usingSamsungKeyboard(Context context){
    return usingKeyboard(context, "com.sec.android.inputmethod/.SamsungKeypad");
}

public boolean usingSwypeKeyboard(Context context){
    return usingKeyboard(context, "com.nuance.swype.input/.IME");
}

public boolean usingGoogleKeyboard(Context context){
    return usingKeyboard(context, "com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME");
}   

public boolean usingKeyboard(Context context, String keyboardId)
    {
        final InputMethodManager richImm =
          (InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

        boolean isKeyboard = false;

        final Field field;
        try
        {
            field = richImm.getClass().getDeclaredField("mCurId");
            field.setAccessible(true);
            Object value = field.get(richImm);
            isKeyboard = value.equals(keyboardId);

        }
        catch (IllegalAccessException e)
        {

        }
        catch (NoSuchFieldException e)
        {

        }
        return  isKeyboard;
    }
