[android-developers] Displaying virtual keyboard
Hello!
I need help with showing the integrated virtual keyboard on-screen. I
extended a View class and I implemented these two methods (most of it
is just stub code; for now I only want to display the keyboard):
@Override
public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection (EditorInfo outAttrs)
{
BaseInputConnection fic = new BaseInputConnection(this, true);
outAttrs.actionLabel = null;
outAttrs.hintText = Insert the test text;
outAttrs.initialCapsMode = 0;
outAttrs.initialSelEnd = outAttrs.initialSelStart = -1;
outAttrs.label = Test text;
outAttrs.inputType = InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER |
InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL;
outAttrs.imeOptions = EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE;
return fic;
}
@Override
public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor() {
return true;
}
In the onCreate method of my activity I have :
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService
(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showInputMethodPicker();
imm.showSoftInput(editor, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
Where editor is an instance of my View. I noticed in the debugger that
my onCreateInputConnection() is executed but after that the keyboard
is not displayed on the screen.
Using the TextView widtget and it's subclasses is not an option.
Thank you!

[android-developers] Displaying virtual keyboard in a custom View
Hello all! I am building a custom view and would like to pragmatically display the default on-screen input method (if any) when certain conditions are met. Due to some specific features of the view I am not able to reuse the TextView and EditText views with all the functionality already present. The idea was to simply display the keyboard and capture the keypress events in the view. inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService ( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE ); inputMethodManager.showSoftInput ( editorView, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED ); While the approach seems to work with EditText I was not able to show the on-screen keyboard ( showInputMethodPicker () seems to work ). While browsing the TextView source code I came across the following method: @Override public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) that (basically) returns InputConnection ic = new EditableInputConnection(this); I was not able to find the class EditableInputConnection in the documentation or in the source code. I would appreciate any kind of advice on how to show the on screen keyboard and how to properly register my view so it can receive the keypress events.
