[android-developers] MotionEvent event.x and event.y always returns 0 when catching MotionEvent.ACTION_OUTSIDE
Hello everyone, I have a customized Dialog whose size does not fill the screen. I have also enabled the following flags for the dialog's window. 1. WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICAITON_ATTACHED_DIALOG 2. WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE 3. WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL 4. WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH In addition, I overridden onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) method so that I can process the event whenever a touch outside of the dialog's window occurs. As a result, I can move my dialog at any point outside its window. Here's my problem. This expected behavior works fine in the emulator (using Gingerbread code and build btw) and it also works fine with my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Gingerbread build). But when I tried to run this app on my friends machine (runs on ICS), event.x and event.y for ACTION_OUTSIDE will always return 0. Does anyone know the reason for this? Has event handling in ICS been changed for ACTION_OUTSIDE?

[android-developers] InputConnection becomes inactive after launching Activity from IME
Hello guys, I launched a translucent Activity that contains custom views from my IME (so that I can have a full-screen IME whose layout I can control relatively). My problem is when I tried to call commitText of the InputConnection that I passed from my IME to the translucent Activity, nothing happens. No output is displayed on the EditText or input field in the background Activity (this is the Activity that launched my IME). Does anyone know how to re-activate my InputConnection with the Activity behind my translucent Activity?

[android-developers] Re: Question About LatinIME/SoftKeyboard - anyone using it?
You can modify the qwerty.xml keyboard xml file in the SoftKeyboard sample to suit your needs. As for dynamically changing the layout, you can either check the type of input field you are working with (for example, check if it requires only numbers) then display the appropriate keyboard by using the android:keyboardMode xml attribute of Keyboard.Row *OR *you can create separate keyboard xml files to suit your need. The latter is more tedious and will require you to do a lot of if-else if statements in your code when creating the keyboard.

The input paradigm has to be very fast - there is little time to jump between several screens to complete the input before a new set of data input has to be made. Fast may not the the right wordin this scenario I find it distracting to move through several screens (popup dialogs/selection boxes included) to finish this input set and then return to making observations to collect the data that has to be input. I could use selection boxes, but I would like to find something else more clever. Why? The competition uses that input mode, and I find their input method to be slow and painful (to me - ie distracting from the observing component of this user application). The good news is the text is really just a small set of one, two, or three letter codes plus 1-3 numbers. I was thinking of trying to make a small keyboard that had the right codes and numbers to see if that input format is faster and less distracting. I googled for android soft keyboard and found references to the LatinIME and the sample SoftKeyboard in the sdk. Most of the references I have found to these keyboards is translating them into different languages. What I really need is a 4X4 grid (or maybe the 3X6 number grid will work) of keys where I can change the labels on the keys depending on the different input conditions. Is it possible to change the layout and number of keys using these tools, or do I have to roll my own from scratch using the SoftKeyboard as a starting point? Would it be easier/simpler to use a grid layout and just put 16 buttons in it? Thanks for your thoughts!

[android-developers] How do you get the Activity that launches the IME?
Hello guys, Still working on my IME (sheesh, it's taking too long... .). I was wondering if there was a way to get a reference or instance of the Activity that launches my IME. For example, if I was in the new contact activity of Contacts application and I click on an input field (like an EditText), then my IME would be launched (as expected). Now I want to get a reference to the new contact activity from which my IME was launched. Is this possible?

[android-developers] How do you launch an Activity for your IME?
Hello all, Is it possible to launch an Activity as you IME? By this, I mean, that instead of using a KeyboardView for the InputView of the IME, an Activity containing a few widgets will be launched. My purpose in doing this is so that I can control where the keyboard will be placed on screen. If I were to use the basic implementation for an IME, I would end up having the keyboard always at the bottom of the screen. I wanted to place my on-screen keyboard somewhere other than the bottom. Can someone share some ideas? Thanks and best regards, - tsukishiro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] How do you get the Activity that launches the IME?
Ah, yes it is true that the UI of the IME a.k.a. the InputView will automatically allow user's touch events to pass through to the Activity behind. However, if the implementation is changed, by this I mean instead of the usual way of using KeyboardView as the InputView, an Activity will be launched in its place, then touch events will no longer pass through to the Activity behind as they are consumed by the translucent Activity that has been shown by the IME. Thus, the need to call dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) method of the Activity behind the IME.

Re: [android-developers] How do you get the Activity that launches the IME?
Ok. I tried a simple customized layout based on this posthttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/6448627/android-non-keyboard-ime and inflated it using getLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_xml_file, null) and used the View that was created from this inflation as my InputView.

[android-developers] How to add Android Widgets (ex. TextView) to KeyboardView
Hi all, I am working on a customized IME that is based on the API Demo SoftKeyboard. I already have it working but I was hoping to add a little more customization to it. I am thinking of adding Android Widgets such as TextView or even Button to my InputView. So I created a new class that extends KeyboardView. I used this new class as the root tag of my InputView layout xml file. Unfortunately, when I add the Android Widgets into the layout xml file and run my code, I either get ClassCastException or the widgets don't appear. I also tried following the suggestion in this threadhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/7865719/edittext-on-inputkeyboard-launch-creating-ime-in-android but I still get the same problems as mentioned above. Can someone please help me with this one? Hoping for your reply.

[android-developers] Button cannot be clicked when used with an IME
Hello everyone, My custom IME is slowly coming to life! Thanks to all the people who have replied to my posts regarding my IME. I hope I can get the same support for this question too. So here it is. Up until now, I have been using KeyboardView as the root tag in the layout xml for my InputView.

[android-developers] Button cannot be clicked when used with an IME
Hello everyone, My custom IME is slowly coming to life! Thanks to all the people who have replied to my posts regarding my IME. I hope I can get the same support for this question too. So here it is. Up until now, I have been using KeyboardView as the root tag in the layout xml for my InputView.

[android-developers] Cannot catch swipe action for SoftKeyboard
Hello everyone, I wanted to implement swiping for the custom IME I am developing. Looking into SoftKeyboard sample code, it seems this can be handled by the swipe methods under OnKeyboardActionListener. However when I tried to test if the swipe methods in SoftKeyboard were working, I found myself having a hard time catching the event. For example, swipeLeft() method in SoftKeyboard will perform a backspace. But I never get to pull this off. I usually just get some random letters being printed out to the input field whenever I do swipe left aciton. Can someone tell me how to get swipe methods to work?

Hi Solution 9420, Thanks so much for your reply! I have been trying SoftKeyboard (Demo API) and I wanted to verify if the method swipeLeft(), which has been implemented to do backspace or delete function, is actually working. So I deployed SoftKeyboard.apk to my device and have been swiping my finger on the keyboard. But as I mentioned above, all I get is a bunch of letters being printed out because of the swipe: motion over the row of keys. I will check your application to see how you made swiping and especially key-level fling (I really wanted to implement this on my IME too) to work. Thank you again and best regards, P.S.

Hello again Solution 9420, I just downloaded the 9420 Tablet Keyboard to my device and had a taste of your IME. It's nice and swiping clearly works. For example, swipeRight changes keyboard type between English and Thai. But I'm afraid I was not able to find a way to check Key-level fling. So can you help me with the following questions : 1.) How did you enable swiping on the keyboard? 2.) How to enable key-level fling? Example, if I fling a key upwards, a different character will be printed. Hoping for your guidance.

[android-developers] Re: Adding swype-like functionality to the LatinIME keyboard
Hi, I just want to clarify if you were able to emulate swiping in the android emulator? I read from another discussion thread that swiping is not supported in the emulator and can only be verified using an actual device. If you were able to do it using the emulator, can you share how? Thanks and best regards, - tsukishiro On Wednesday, February 16, 2011 5:10:01 AM UTC+9, Karel Vervaeke wrote: Hi everyone. I checked out the Android sources and introduced swype-like functionality to the LatinIME keyboard. At the moment, it's still very rough: - you need to download a list of most-frequently used words for your language - you need to compile that list into an index which allows you to quickly look up words based on the swype gestures. - you need to put the compiled list on an sd card - you need to push the modified LatinIME.apk to your device. At the moment I have only worked with an emulator. Performance is getting close to what it needs to be and I'm quite confident that I can improve it to being very usable. Before I clean up the implementation and move forward I would like to get some hints or pointers: (1) packaging I want to prevent having to provide packages for all target devices target Android versions. How do I deal with the native code in the LatinIME package? (Currently I have only run the modified LatinIME on an emulator - I wouldn't even know how to start building it for specific devices) Should I even base my code on LatinIME or are there better input methods? (2) contributing Are there any projects out there which would be interested in incorporating these changes? (This is just a hobby project, I don't have time to maintain it forever). As far as I see it, it would make an interesting contribution to the android proper codebase, but I need to figure out how to deal with various languages keyboard layouts. (3) how to deal with multiple languages keyboard layouts Each different language+keyboard layout requires another index file. How would you go about to attract contributions and how would make them available to all users? I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions. All hints and pointers are very welcome.

[android-developers] Re: update TextView inside a TimerTask
If I'm not mistaken, any code inside a TimerTask is running on a different thread. This means that it won't have access to the main UI thread. So if you put some code in there to update your Textview, you will probably end up with an exception or error saying that it cannot access the main ui thread. To fix this, you will need to create a message handler (Handler) so that you can send messages to your main ui thread telling it to update the Textview accordingly.

[android-developers] TOUCHABLE_INSETS_FRAME on landscape orientation causes fields to be untouchable
Hello, I have been working on my custom IME for the past few weeks now. My goal wat to make a soft keyboard that will not pan or resize the UI behind it. To do this, I implemented/override the onComputeInsets method for InputMethodService. There, I set outInsets.visibleTopInsets to the display height and outInsets.touchableInsets to InputMethodService.Insets.TOUCHABLE_INSETS_FRAME. This delivers the expected result - a soft keyboard that covers the UI behind it without panning or resizing the background UI. However, I notice that* other input fields* (EditText widgets) are *not touchable *when my soft keyboard is displayed. This problem only happens when my emulator is in *landscape orientation*. Otherwise, when it is in portrait, everything seems fine. Other input fields can be touched. Does someone know why it behaves this way?
