I would strongly recommend against using that directly. Using InputMethodService isn't really going to limit what you can do, and it takes care of a lot of the details of interacting correctly with the application. There is a lot of default functionality in InputMethodService for providing the correct standard behavior for an IME. If you want to force particular behavior, there are various methods you can override to impact that. Just go through the methods and see what you want to do. For example, if you want to do your own candidate view, just do that. Don't call the method to show the candidate view. Likewise if you want to always run in fullscreen/extract mode, then implement the method that decides when to be in that mode and just always do it. > BTW: InputMethodService is > really hard to use. Well writing a well behaving input method is a little harder than writing a regular application. :) > 2. what's the correct behavior of the InputConnection.commitText? > i write the following code. but it can not satisfy me. > ... > InputConnection ic = getInputConnection(); > ic.commitText(textA, 1); > ic.commitText(textB, 0); > > i want the cursor to before the textB and after the textA. but it > always be present after textB. Use -1 for the second param; I am pretty sure the doc explains how the cursor position argument works. Also please note... there is not yet an SDK for cupcake, these are all new APIs, I have no idea of what build you are working against, and depending on which that is various things may or may not be broken, or have changed, or whatever else. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
