Hi, I like Android platform a lot. However, one the things, IHMO, Android lacks a lot, is an ability to dynamically switch keyboard layouts. It seem this was not even considered in Andonis design. Is the platform only suppose to serve Latin keyboard layout's users?...
Right now, the switch can be "implemented" by substituting trout- keypad-v3.kcm.bin file with Cyrillic version of the file and replacing it back with out-of-the-box version when English layout is required. However, the keychar file is cached, so the change is not instantly visible. Therefore this solution is far from being perfect. Here are the links to the work of 'worry' on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468703 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458473 Actually, the http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html doc suggests the the layout/keychar switching was considered, but unfortunately the following command does NOT switch the keychar map to be used. setprop android.keychar.trout-keypad-v3 /system/usr/keychars/ qwerty_ru.kcm.bin So my question is -- What are the plans to enable keyboard layout switching in Android? Sorry if I am missing something.
