I want to show softkeyboard after tapping on EditText in my custom Softkeyboard.
I have made one custom keyboard in which I've added one key.
This key will navigate you to a Conversion View which contains an EditText.
So after tapping on that EditText I want to open my own custom softkeyboard.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
You have two options: create a soft keyboard using the InputMethodService--that is, create a true soft keyboard that will be listed under the keyboard listing in the device's settings that the user can turn on and use at any time. That can be a lot of work.
You're other option is to mock the soft keyboard by creating a custom view, of which you handle input and toggle the visibility of explicitly in your app; blocking the native soft keyboard from showing (which you can do per activity via your manifest or in code).

I have two EditText in my layout, and another layout that contains a custom designed keyboard using ImageButtons. Using these two layouts, I want to:
When the EditText is clicked/touched, hide the default keyboard.
Display the custom keyboard (like a replacement to the default keyboard).
Hide the keyboard after clicking back/return key.
I was able to hide the default keyboard by setting the InputType of the two EditText to NULL. However, it means that the cursor will no longer be visible when EditText is focused. This is part of the specifications of the project.
How do I best approach this problem? What could be a best solution?
Edit: Project specifications were changed. However, I would still love to have the solution or approach to this problem / issue. Thank you very much.
I have two EditText views and one ImageView. My goal is to hide the ImageView when i am showing the keyboard (When the user have clicked on one of the EditText fields)
Then show the imageView again when the user have unfocused the EditText field or the keyboard is not visible anymore.
I have tried tons of different ways to do this. But nothing really works as intended. Do you guys have any idea how i could achieve this
Have you tried to detect if the keyboard is opened ? How do I Detect if Software Keyboard is Visible on Android Device?
Make debug and when is opened try to hide image . imageview.setvisibility (GONE)
if it does not work you can try to change layout
Make 2 layouts and switch visibility if the keyboard is open /closed
You can add a OnFocusChangeListener to the EditText,when you click the EditText,it will get focus,and then you can hide the ImageView.
<activity android:name="SearchResultsActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>
adjustPan:
The activity’s main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window.
regards! :)
You can do one thing, place UIView-> UIImageView -> UITextfield1-> UITextField2.Handle the UIImageView hiding state in textfield delegates which are Begin and End editing delegate methods
I've looked at several questions and come across several posts, but i'm not able to figure out how to do this.
The following picture shows you the basic layout :
I've created a custom numpad and put it up on the repo.
Currently, when the app opens, the edit text has the focus but and anything i enter with the keyboard will go into the edittext box. This part of the functionality works fine.
Problem: When i touch the edittext again, system Input Method with its huge keyboard pops up. How do i completely block it from popping up? Or, can i tell the app to use only my keyboard instead of the system one? (Or is the only way to write a custom ime?)
i cannot use NULL type input at the manifest because doing that makes the caret in the edittext disappear and moreover if there are two edit texts, i wouldnt know which has focus.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
You can do a few things:
Programmatically hide it in the whole app:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
Hide it from the view it would be attached to:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
Set the input type of the EditText to 0:
EditText yourEditText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editTextConvertValue);
yourEditText.setInputType(0);
I wish to add custom buttons to the android IME. So I have created an InputMethodService extension as done with soft keyboard sample from code samples. But in SoftKeyboard sample a candidate view is been used to add predictive text. So I was try to use the same approach but how can I listen to onclick events when I add button on the candidate view. Is this the best way to add buttons above keyboard?
How can I change the background of each letter in the keyboard already provided or even change the buttons?
Thanks,

In my app,I have an edittext and a PopupWindow.
I want to show the popup once the user starts editing the text. but when I show the popup, it graps the focus from the edittext, and the virtual keyboard is dismissed (and I want it shown).
I tried creating the popup as not focusable, but then I can't select it after it's shown.
I also tried changing the focus and selection attributes of both edittext and from code after and before the popup is shown, but if the popup is created as not focusable, I can't select it after it's shown.
Is there a way of displaying a selectable popup along with editing the edittext?
You could try going in other direction. you have to control the input method editor (IME). every editable has an appropriate IME (also edittext has). You can control the IME - for example to be shown all the time not regarding to the state of edittext and dismiss it when you click on something or something happen.
You can ovveride the default editext implementation or you can control the IME at the viewgroup container/activity level.
http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/on-screen-inputs.html (read the APIs for controlling IMEs at the end).
hope this will help.
