[android-developers] Re: EditText and Virtual Keyboard
If possible, it is better to add an appropriate watcher/filter on the text
view, and do your specialization as a result of the text being modified.
This will work for both hard keys and soft edits.

[android-developers] Re: EditText and Virtual Keyboard
Hi guys,
I just got back from holidays :)
this is the hack
@Override
public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) {
InputConnection ic = super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs);
InputConnectionWrapper icw = new InputConnectionWrapper(ic, false) {
public boolean commitText(CharSequence text, int
newCursorPosition)
{
//TODO text is the new inserted text, return if the
text is ok or
not
}
};
return icw;
}
The point is, one should use InputFilter objects on a TextField as
much as possible,
but in the very special case that you have to react to the key pressed
on the vitual keyboard
to do something more custom, that's the only way I found.
Hope this helps

[android-developers] Re: EditText and Virtual Keyboard
Hi Hong, thanks for your reply. I tried that but to no avail. The reason seems to be that clicks and actions from virtual keyboard do not follow the same path that normal key and touch events do. The get tunneled in an InputConnection, and things get REALLY difficult for me to understand fully. So i just override onCreateInputConnection and return a BaseInputConnection and now it works. thanks again for the reply, -Emanuele On Jun 30, 12:01 am, Hong wrote: > I'm not sure if this will help > you:http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEdit... > > But looks like some IME related actions you can catch. > > Please let us know if it works... > > > > On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 4:36 AM, Hazam wrote: > > > Folks, > > is there nobody having the same problem? > > Did I explain I clearly? > > > The problem is that if i press some of the virtual keyboard keys, they > > do not cause a onKeyDown event; > > this happens with keys '/','!' and such. > > > While if i press physical emulator keys, (even the same keys), they > > do. > > Could you give me some feedback on this, even a pointer to some code > > to study > > Thanks > > > On 22 Giu, 20:22, Emanuele Di Saverio > > wrote: > >> Hi all, > >> I was fillding with EditText and handling of events, and I was wondering on > >> a strange thing: > > >> If you press some of the keys (for example forward slash '/') on the > >> emulated physical keyboard, the keyevents are called > >> as usual (onKeydown, the KeyListeners etc). > >> If I click on the corresponding virtual key on the onscreen virtual > >> keyboard, all these callbacks do not get called at all! > >> This is strange, given that If I press other keys like alhpanumerical, the > >> events are called. > > >> Can someone explain me this behaviour of the EditText component? > >> Thanks a lot > > >> -Emanuele --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I'm not sure if this will help you: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEditorActionListener.html But looks like some IME related actions you can catch. Please let us know if it works...

[android-developers] Re: EditText and Virtual Keyboard
Folks, is there nobody having the same problem? Did I explain I clearly? The problem is that if i press some of the virtual keyboard keys, they do not cause a onKeyDown event; this happens with keys '/','!' and such. While if i press physical emulator keys, (even the same keys), they do. Could you give me some feedback on this, even a pointer to some code to study Thanks On 22 Giu, 20:22, Emanuele Di Saverio wrote: > Hi all, > I was fillding with EditText and handling of events, and I was wondering on > a strange thing: > > If you press some of the keys (for example forward slash '/') on the > emulated physical keyboard, the keyevents are called > as usual (onKeydown, the KeyListeners etc). > If I click on the corresponding virtual key on the onscreen virtual > keyboard, all these callbacks do not get called at all! > This is strange, given that If I press other keys like alhpanumerical, the > events are called. > > Can someone explain me this behaviour of the EditText component? > Thanks a lot > > -Emanuele --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
