How do you make a keyboard app in flutter? - android

I am sorry if this question is frequently asked, simple to answer or not defined enough. I'll provide as many details as I can.
Anyway
You've probably heard of the app called Giphy. It's an app via which you can send GIF images to others. When you download the app, you also have an integrated keyboard which you can use instead of the standard keyboard you get with your phone
I just recently started learning flutter and I wanted to try and make a keyboard of my own. Is there a way to do that in flutter? If so, how do I do it?

You cannot create Keyboard input editor app in flutter, because it is very specific to native application. So try to create it natively for both Android and iOS.
Check below links, might help you:
For Android:
Create an input method editor (IME)
For iOS:
Creating a Custom Keyboard

How to add google keyboard (Gboard) into my own android studio project?

I am working on a project on android. I want to attach Gboard into my application because I want to use its functions. I want to use Gboard pad for writing input. I don't want from the user to download Gboard separately. I want to make it a part of application. If possible kindly let me know how.
Id say it is not possible, cannot find anything for Gboard, even virtual keyboard api is deprecated since 2011.

How do you make an in app button keyboard in an activity?

How can you make an in-app buttons that works like the keyboard?
I am trying to load a website(which is coded using javascript) into my app using the webView function. But unfortunately, the interactive design of the website requires the user to type in letters from the computer keyboard. I could easily pull up the keyboard on the android device to type, but it is a bit too inconvenient as I only need to use 5 buttons.
I used Kotlin to try inserting a letter to the webView browser, but I can't find a solution just yet. Is there a way to make a shortcut or a set of a library that allows me to do so? Thank you for your replies.
You'll need to dispatch KeyEvents to the WebView. For example, the following code simulates a left key press.
webView.dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT))
Here's an article for further reference. The list of possible KeyEvent codes is available in the official docs.

Android use smileys keyboard

I am working on an Android chatting application. I need to show, a smileys or emoji's keyboard, like that of 'Whats App'. Is there any such default keyboard for Android? If yes, how do I implement it?
This largely depends on what the user currently has installed. I use SwiftKey on my phone so I have the ability to use the Emoji's. If you are willing to put in the effort to create your own Emoji keyboard then toobsco42 has a great basic explanation of the process as well as a link to a repo that you can use.
i would say start by getting the font with all the unicode charset for your application and render them in an layout invoked on the button in your input field.
One of the website to create custom fonts : icomoon.io

SoftKeyboard Android

Im working in an app to modify the sounds when I key is press in the android soft-keyboard. I have download the sample soft-keyboard from Google. Now Im trying to figure out how to add sound to each or all the keys.
My question is: is it possible to assign a short customize sound to each key?
Can i change this in the already implemented keyboard?
You can't... it's already built and some manufactures provide their own keyboard implementations.
Or should i make my own keyboard?
Yes, you must.
If the latter is the case, how do i do that? Can i find the source code somewhere?
There are some open source projects of Keyboard implementations... for instance:
https://github.com/g1011999/Gingerbread-Keyboard/
http://code.google.com/p/softkeyboard/
There you can learn how to write your own keyboard, which is completely different from writing a conventional app.
My suggestion is to create a new fork of the Gingerbread-Keyboard (this supports Android 2.2 or higher only)... and then implement that specific change you want. For one of my apps I did so, and it's far easier than implementing the keyboard from scratch.
