Hi, I'm trying to develop a new input method on Android 2.1, and have got the basics working, but I want to make my IM work in fullscreen-mode even when the device is portrait (I'm using a Nexus One atm). If I override onEvaluateFullscreenMode to always return true, I can get an extract view (at the top of the screen, just beneath the status bar), and a candidates view if I want it (just beneath that), and my main input view at the bottom of the screen; but there's always a gap, between the top of my main input view, and the bottom of the candidates view, through which the application shows (even if I set the imeFullscreenBackground attribute to a colour, which I then don't see). The size of the gap varies according to the size of the other views, etc., but is always at least 30 or so pixels high - if I make the input view & candidates view big enough, it'll squash the extract view up to next-to-nothing or remove it altogether to make space....
Anyone got a full-screen IME (in portrait mode!) working, and can tell me how to do it? I've tried using HierarchyViewer to see if I can get some idea of what's going on, but wasn't able to get the hierarchy at all (debugging activities is easier than IMEs, hehe!); and I've had a look at some source code for InputMethodService.java (the base class I'm overriding) and come out none the wiser (perhaps I need to look at the XML?) Any help/info/pointers appreciated, TIA, Alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
