Re: [android-developers] Re: Confused by @Override
My app is based on the SoftKeyboard example. Problem is the way the KeyboardView class is designed in the Android API, as far as I can see it only allows for one key background for all keys. As of yet the only way around it I can see is to create a IME from the ground up and dump the Keyboard classes the Andorid API provides out of the box. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

* Problem is the way the KeyboardView class is designed in the Android API, as far as I can see it only allows for one key background for all keys.* Ahh Now we get to the real problem. If you had been more specific about the problem in the first place then better help could have been provided (as opposed to lectures about standard OOP principles). * As of yet the only way around it I can see is to create a IME from the ground up and dump the Keyboard classes the Andorid API provides out of the box. * So it seems that is the case. That's unfortunate; I can see why it might be useful to have some keys with different backgrounds. One thing you could try doing (but I admit this would be cludgy and ugly code) is to set the background for the keyboard and then calling invalidateKey() on a specific key. Then, change the background to what you want for the next key and calling invalidateKey() again... Probably won't work, but it may be worth a shot.

[android-developers] Re: Confused by @Override
If you absolutely need to access those fields/methods you CAN use Java reflection, but it's a very fragile solution in that those fields could change across Android iterations. Using reflection you can change the visibility of the private fields/methods and invoke them/ change their values. Here's an example, which also discusses the dangers: http://radio.javaranch.com/val/2004/05/18/1084891793000.html The alternative would be to copy the code from that class and create your own, making those fields protected or providing methods to mutate them.

[android-developers] Re: Confused by @Override
The alternative would be to copy the code from that class and create your own, making those fields protected or providing methods to mutate them. That's what I've started to conclude myself and attempted to do so, but ran into the problem of accessing `com.android.internal.R`. Which means that I'll have to provide a replacement for each value, e.g. com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_keyBackground com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_verticalCorrection com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_keyPreviewLayout com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_keyPreviewOffset com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_keyPreviewHeight com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_keyTextSize com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_keyTextColor com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_labelTextSize com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_popupLayout com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_shadowColor com.android.internal.R.styleable.KeyboardView_shadowRadius and more. Deeper and deeper. And I just want to change the background image of the spacebar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Confused by @Override
Hmm...having not developed an IME I don't know what the best course is, but there are APIs for deploying a custom IME. Within those there must be ways fo specifying the drawables. I gather that what you want to do is to change the spacebar of the default android keyboard? That's going to be ugly as you have discovered. Those resources are of course going to be private as who wants dev changing the keyboard just for their app? I'd consider something else. Do you really need to change the spacebar drawable? Its just a spacebar.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Confused by @Override
I haven't written a keyboard either, but there is a sample implementation here: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SoftKeyboard/index.html Hopefully this sample code doesn't suffer from any compile problems. There is a drawable for the space bar in there, too. 22.03.2011 1:41 пользователь Jonathan Foley jonefo...@gmail.com написал: Hmm...having not developed an IME I don't know what the best course is, but there are APIs for deploying a custom IME.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Confused by @Override
If you are trying to change the color of the spacebar for the default Android Keyboard, then it isn't possible. If you are simply wanting to write your own IME, follow the tutorial posted by the others...
