I am working on an Android implementation of the J console which gave me an opportunity to create a soft keyboard for same. Several years ago, I carried a CE device provided by my employer and I loved having J in my pocket but I found it frustrating casting around for characters on that vendors keyboard.
In the absence of prior art, I embraced Stewart's Law and implemented according to my intuition. I have uploaded a series of screen caps from my emulator demonstrating the collection of soft keyboards I have built. The bottom of the images are cropped slightly; the emulator is slightly taller than my laptop screen. The right panel represents Android 'hardware' inputs, the left is the device display. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll178/william-conquers/Android/sym1.png http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll178/william-conquers/Android/sym2.pnghttp://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll178/william-conquers/Android/qwerty.png http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll178/william-conquers/Android/num.png I would be interest in any comments. -- - michael dykman - [email protected] May the Source be with you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
