When developig in Android studio I often switch windows to Whatsapp, facebook and other none programming related applications / websites. When I am in these none related language I often switch to my native language for typing. When going back to the IDE, I forget that I switched language.
Is there a way to configure that when the visual window is Android studio my input language will always be English automatically? I am using Windows OS if that matters by any reason.
You have an option in Windows for setting different input language on different apps.
You have to go in Control panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Language > Advanced Settings. Then check ‘Let me set a different input method for each app window’ on ‘Switching input methods’ section.
The procedure is explained here : https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-set-language-on-a-per-app-basis-in-windows-10/

I have setup an Android API 30 emulator (from Android Studio), where I have installed two physical keyboard layouts. According to the system, I should be able to switch languages via Control+space. But that does not work.
I've tried:
Changing the "send keyboard shortcuts" to "virtual device" - effectively disables multi-touch but that's it.
Installed tons of different apps (including Hackers Keyboard) but saw no difference at all - seems they only work for the soft keyboard
I tried changing the kcm keyboard file from open source projects (and it worked well for changing e.g. "a" to "9") but I could not make for instance Shift+space to execute a language switch fallback
I even tried to write apps but I am not sure where to start (and from my experience with the other apps I tried, I am not sure if this will work at all)
Any ideas what else I can do?
I ended up using Android x86. The control+space works there just fine.
I use a Mac at office and a Windows OS at home, as it is common I am really getting confused with the use of two different Keymap shortcuts.
So I am trying to change my windows keyboard so to mimick an Ios keyboard.
Outside the specific use of a software as hotkeysto change the keyboard map, my problem is that the windows key is not recognized as meta.
According to different posts and the intelliJ blog/issue, I can make windows key as meta (mac os) adding in File idea.proprieties the string :
keymap.windows.as.meta=true
Well does not work, when I put this string in IntelliJ and restart AS, meta is not recognized in fact if I try to change some shortcuts windows+ some letter, the IDE recognizes only that I pressed the hardware button `Windows, making impossible to use Mac OS keywords really useful and simple as Copy, Paste, Cut.
I am using the Android 3.2 emulator. I can't find the dialer. Hitting F3 does not bring up the telephone app. Many other things don't work. For example, in the Settings app, I can't go into individual settings page (like Language and input). Is this thing half cooked?
I can't find the dialer.
Android 3.2 is for tablets. There is no dialer.
For example, in the Settings app, I can't go into individual settings page (like Language and input).
Launch Settings and click on "Language & input" on the left.
If by this you meant:
startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCALE_SETTINGS));
that too works on my copy of the Android 3.2 emulator.
I am using a English (U.S.) Windows XP laptop that has Eclipse (Helios-SR1) installed. I created an Android app that runs fine on the emulator and my Samsung Charge phone. However, I have one app screen that requests the user's name and email address. The input form is located on my website and I use the WebView function (and INTERNET permission) to capture the input data and store in a MySQL database table. The problem I am experiencing is that each character that I input (either using the Eclipse keyboard or laptop keyboard) is changed to an Oriental character (I think its Chinese). I don't understand why the input characters are changed.. WTF! I've been researching for the past 2 days and can't find a solution to make the input characters English (U.S.). I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem. Thanks ahead of time.

change the input language in the emulator and disable the Japanse and Chines keyboard as if it were a real phone.
In android 1.6
go to Settings -> Locale & Text -> select locale
select English (US)
go to Settings -> Locale & Text
unselect the first option which has some Chinese (I think) characters and Japanese IME
i have followed tutorial Hello L10 in developer.android official website,but nothing regarding arabic.
what are the steps needed for an android application to be in arabic?
for eg,User can have either a combobox or radio button to choose from english or arabic.(i have done this).
Now if user selects arabic whole application characters should be converted in arabic.
even the keyboard presented should be in arabic?if i have to make custom keyboard for this?or any other way?
i dont have any idea.Any tutorial/demo ?.However i have googled around but not get specific material.
Any suggestion?
Users set their locale at the device level, through the Settings application. If their device supports Arabic -- some devices running Android 2.3 and 3.0 will -- then if your application has Arabic translations of its resources, the Arabic will appear. Also, the user will get an Arabic soft keyboard.
Other than providing Arabic translations for your strings, the rest is up to the user and their device.
