Hello All,
I am attempting to listen for system fired Intents, specifically
regarding text input, using a class extending BroadcastReceiver. I see
there is an Intent called ACTION_INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED
(android.intent.action.INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED) which I hope to be able
to use to know when the keyboard or text input is attempted by the
user. (I assume this intent will work as I can use an
InputMethodManager object to handle keyboard related tasks)
My java code:
package com.BroadcastReception;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
public class InputMethodChangedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if
(arg1.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED"))
{
Log.d(this.toString(), "Event Fired");
}
}
}
My Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.BroadcastReception"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name">
<receiver android:name=".InputMethodChangedReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED"></
action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_INPUT_STATE"></
uses-permission>
</manifest>
Using DDMS I never see my logs written, indicating to me that my
broadcast receiver is not functioning properly.
My question is this:
1) Is INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED the correct intent to receive on to
determine if the user is attempting to use the keyboard, and if not,
what would be the proper method to use to monitor to see if the user
opens up the keyboard, and
2) Am I doing something incorrect in listening for the event,
permissions, filters, etc? It would seem to me based on the resources
I've looked at it that I'm along the right track, but I must be
missing something!
I appreciate the help and responses
