I am creating a custom keyboard for android. And I want to add search functionality in it.
How do I implement it in keyboard, like the GBoard ?
If this question is a hoax, please let me know.
I'm developing a custom Android keyboard. I started to develop my keyboard, based on this tutorial. However, I want my keyboard to have customized view instead of the default keyboard view. To be specific, I want to use listview to select words. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
You don't have to use the KeyboardView widget.. just put whatever views you want into the keyboard.xml layout file.
I haven't tried using listviews, but I know that normal layouts/buttons/imageviews/textviews work fine.
I don't want to replace the entire soft keyboard. I want to add a Next/Prev buttons when the soft keyboard is deployed when a field in my WebView in the fashion that looks like the display on mylogin.yahoo.com

I have found this on github
https://github.com/chrisboyle/sgtpuzzles/blob/master/src/name/boyle/chris/sgtpuzzles/SmallKeyboard.java
which seems like a reasonable way to accomplish this functionality.
Is extending android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView be a reasonable way to go?

Yes, extend it is the best way to go. Wrap what you want to add. Create another keyboard and set it to that keyboard.
I am trying to figure out how to make a customized android keyboard. I want additional keys in the keyboard like page up, page down, etc. I want these keys to perform the actions that I want them to do. For example,

Have a look at the above provided keyboard layouts. How can i do this? Any useful pointers??
Thank you in advance,

You need to create an input method.
Read more about it here, here and here.
Is there a way to programmatically remove certain keys from the standard software keyboard. By setting some of the input type flags I am so close to having the keyboard I need. From the calling application is there a way to modify the keyboard directly. I know how to make my own custom keyboard but it seems such a waste to remove one button from the standard one.

I think I found a way around this if any one has tried this method please let me know if it worked for you.
I have going to grab the softKeyboard service and using the start hook the keyboard uses to grab its view object inflate my own and swap them.
From my research there is no way to implement your own custom keyboard from within a single application. If you want to have a custom keyboard you need to create one from scratch and can not use the IME
soft keyboard comes for edit text. you can modify the softkeyboard for that edit text.
For that you need to set inputType and imeOption property of that edit text.
