Nope. Try using it in the contacts app to see the soft keyboard do some interesting transformations .... it understands the format of what you're typing in and will customize itself aggressively for that type of input. It's really a lot more flexible than a standard keyboard and only looks like a qwerty keyboard sometimes. Still, I understand your confusion - hopefully the workarounds given help you out. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
