Hi
Actually, I have the same problem:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/5fc2f9fa02b9f436
Apologies for the duplicate post.
Here's what I've seen so far: AFAI can tell, SoftKeyboard shows how to
implement the triple-state (lowercase -> single-char caps -> sticky
caps) logic for the shift softkey, but not how to connect the software
keyboard shift state with the hardware keyboard shift state. Also
went through the LatinIME and PinyinIME sources in Git, and the API
docs, to no avail. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, PinyinIME does
try to track the hardware keyboard state and make the software
keyboard shift state match, but it does so by tracking hardware
keyboard shift onKeyDown events. In the emulator, I managed to get
the states out of sync (on a real G1 this is not possible, because the
soft and hard keyboards are never accessible at the same time).
Alternatively, if there is a way to reset the hardware keyboard shift
state, that would also help (then the state can be accurately tracked
by monitoring shift keycodes in onKeyDown()).
Finally, same question for querying or resetting the hardware keyboard
alt state (i.e., the state indicated by a caret or triangle at the top
of the cursor, as opposed to the bottom of the cursor).
I may be missing something obvious, but I'm a bit lost at the moment,
so any specific pointers would really be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
