I've made a sample android soft keyboard. I want it to use across all applications (hangout, whatsapp etc). What are the possible ways to do it? ( below are the options I'm thinking of )
To run this as service and to detect if android softkeyboard is invoked and disable that and run my softkeyboard ( i don't want this).
I want it to be shown in Settings> Language and Input > Keyboard .
Where I can select the keyboard .(Preferred method). Ssome of my friends liked my new keyboard and want to use it. So I think this will be better option.
I'm stuck now.Any suggestions on how to proceed.
Thanks

Moreover, that is not possible, for obvious privacy and security reasons.

If you implemented an input method editor following the documentation, it should already be there.

I need to show a button below (numeric) soft keyboard in a layout of an android app. I don't need to use "done" key in the keyboard, but the button below the soft keyboard which is keyboard width-wise.
I'm not sure if I understand the question. But if you would like to show your own button below the keyboard, this is not possible. You can't change the position of the system keyboard. If your requirements are simple enough, you might want to consider building your own numeric keyboard in the layout and not using the system keyboard. This is not ideal, but then you would be able to add a button below the keyboard

Android animation keyboard open.
whenever i click done in the keyboard i want keyboard close slowly with animation.
Can i implement it on default keyboard to make this type of stuff or make custom keyboard for that.
please suggest me: i am just new android beginner.
thanks in advance.
An app receives no notification of when a keyboard appears, and the android framework itself is responsible for either sliding the app or laying it out again. So customization isn't really possible. Which is probably a good thing- a keyboard is a separate app, and having written one I wouldn't want to even try to write the keyboard half of such an animation, we'd never get it to look right with all the various ways the app could do it.
The closest you'll get is to specify the fields to pan rather than resize when the keyboard is opened.

There is similar question with no answers. I'd like to use 2 languages for typing messages on my Android device. On my Windows phone it seems very easy to add another language to keyboard and switch between them - tap a key and change the keyboard language. How to do the same on Android please? Thank you.
1- open Settings
2- go to Language & input
3- go to Android keyboard
4- go to Languages
5- disable "Use system language" then select your language
6- now open any application you can type on it when keyboard opens you should see a circle like world when select it the language change.
hope this helpful.

I am new to android. I am currently looking for developing a android application which quickly needs to enable my application.
It may be pressing a power button or volume button in a specific pattern or taping the screen continuously.
I doesn't want to use the screen light on or off since it activates my application for some random reason.
Android does not have a built in feature that lets you run an application by pressing the hardware keys.
A possible solution would be to run a service that intercept the volume keys (https://stackoverflow.com/a/7130685/2804473). This solution will probably be too intrusive for the end user though.
I would not recommend your proposed idea. Instead, play by the given "rules" that the Android environment provides. You might want to use a Widget instead? If the hardware-trigger is that important, maybe you should take a look at accessories such as Pressy (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pressy.app) or similar?

Is it possible to detect when an Android user uses the copy and/or cut functionality?
I have a client who's idea pretty much depends on being able to call a method inside the app whenever a user copies or cuts out a piece of text or an image, no matter whether the user is actually inside the app or not (though the app would be running in the background).
My initial guess would be no, but you never know. I haven't been able to find any clear information about it, so thought I should ask.
Is it possible to detect when an Android user uses the copy and/or cut functionality?
Not exactly. You can listen for changes in the clipboard using ClipboardManager. However:
Changes in the clipboard do not always imply "copy and/or cut" operations
You can only listen for such changes while your process is running
