In my opinion the problem is the difficulty in programming for the soft keyboard. What developers would like, is to be able to program the soft keyboard as a nearly drop-in replacement for a hardware keyboard. Instead, the handling for the soft keyboard is quite different than a hardware keyboard. You can't capture keypresses like you would expect.
I'm guessing that the differences in the base apps are not intentional, but simply the result of people not understanding the complicated system that is the IME. And that's not a problem with the app developers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
