Re: [android-developers] Arrow keys on custom keyboard

2012-08-14 Thread Dianne Hackborn
That sample code is interpreting these as Unicode characters which it
applies as edit operations on the text.  You will need to modify the code
to do the appropriate calls to move the cursor.

 Hi,
 I've been trying to add arrow keys to the SoftKeyboard example from the
 SDK, without success:
 Added this to the keyboard xml (qwerty.xml):
 Row android:rowEdgeFlags=bottom
 Key android:codes=21 android:keyLabel=lt;
 android:isRepeatable=true android:keyWidth=5%p
 android:keyEdgeFlags=left/
 Key android:codes=22 android:keyLabel=gt;
 android:isRepeatable=true android:keyWidth=5%p/
 Key android:codes=20 android:keyLabel=\\/
 android:isRepeatable=true android:keyWidth=5%p/
 Key android:codes=19 android:keyLabel=/\\
 android:isRepeatable=true android:keyWidth=5%p
 android:keyEdgeFlags=right/
 /Row

 I get the extra keys, but when I click them I get squares.
 Can anyone tell why?

 I googled for it but could not find any answer, this seem to be correct -
 but does not work.

 Thanks,
 yakobom

Thank you very much Dianne.

In case anyone who needs help bumps into this, this is what I did: 
Inside the key down handling function I added this code:
CharSequence txt = 
getCurrentInputConnection().getTextBeforeCursor(1000, 0);
int len = txt.length();

if ( len  1 )
{
switch (arrow)
{
case KEY_LEFT:
len--;
break;
case KEY_RIGHT:
len++;
break;
case KEY_UP: case KEY_DOWN: //TBD
break;
}
   
getCurrentInputConnection().setSelection(len, len); 
}
