Android Kitkat:
Can you give me some hints about the following question ?
Display always English keyboard for a specific edit text field:
Question:
• How can I make sure the English language keyboard is always displayed when the user selects a specific Edit Text field in his tablet where the localization is set to Russian or Japanese or other language ? Basically override the Russian keyboard for a specific textfield
By default, all emulators have the Keyboards for English, Japanese IME
and Chinese installed. Since the keyboard that is used by Android OS
is a user's choice, there is no way to force using a specific keyboard
in the app code. If you want to get rid of the unnecessary keyboards
in the emulator completely, see the following post: Click here

Urdu/Arabic Text is scrambled every where in the operating system ever since I have updated my Huawei Honor 6x from Marshmallow to Nougat. Screenshot is attached. Even when i type the urdu text, incorrect text is typed.
There is no option in the OS to add Arabic language.
What can be the possible solution except downgrading?
Just follow above steps:

GO Keyboard is not the only app which allows you to type in Urdu. MultiLang Keyboard also has Urdu language support.

After the update. Performing a reset again solved the issue.

I wanted to open soft keyboard in Chinese languages in my android application which supports localization. Can any one please help me out.
There is no way to do it. The Keyboard is separated app and you have no way to tell it what language you want. Except situation when a keyboard has api's to do it. Your only variant in to write your own internal keyboard.
Anyway, if a system locale is Chinese - user in most cases already have Chinese keyboard so you don't need to worry about it.
I'm developing a keyboard (IME) for Android. I want it to be useful for people from every country. So, I need to know which symbols should be placed on keyboard based on current locale.
My first idea is to copy computer keyboard layouts. Where can I get the contents of preferred computer keyboard layout for each locale?
Also, I've noticed that phone keyboards usually contains some special symbols which aren't present on computer keyboard. Which symbols are important for phones and why? For example, all keyboards I've met provide a way to type '¿' symbol. But this symbol doesn't make any sense in my locale (russian) and isn't used in english. Is there a reason for placing this symbol on every keyboard?
When I run a program on my android emulator most of the keys are in English. However, on both lower corners there are buttons that look like they are from an Asian language. Also, I am using textAutoCorect, but only Asian characters pop up instead of English words. I know it is not my code, so how would I go about fixing this?
Is this happening when you type into a textedit or something? if so then you want to long click onto the textedit and then select input method and then android keyboard.

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.
