Thank you very much Dianne.
In case anyone who needs help bumps into this, this is what I did:
Inside the key down handling function I added this code:
CharSequence txt =
getCurrentInputConnection().getTextBeforeCursor(1000, 0);
int len = txt.length();
if ( len > 1 )
{
switch (arrow)
{
case KEY_LEFT:
len--;
break;
case KEY_RIGHT:
len++;
break;
case KEY_UP: case KEY_DOWN: //TBD
break;
}
getCurrentInputConnection().setSelection(len, len);
}
