You are welcome to rework your "custom view" to be an input method editor. Users can then choose to use your input method editor if they wish. You cannot force users to use your input method editor.

I want to set dynamic text to my edit text from the custom keyboard.
For example if I press "a" from the my keyboard then I want to set clipboard data to my edit text.
I use following demo for custom keyboard,
https://github.com/blackcj/AndroidCustomKeyboard
And it work perfect, but I want to just customize it, I want to override my functionality on it, if I am press any of alphabet then I want to perform my action on application edit text.
Please suggest how to do this , and this is possible to paste my clip board data to edittext from the my custom keyboard any key event?
You should have call back method for each key pressed by user, so you can set your custom test to edit text.
You must have class that extends InputMethodService which overrides onKeyDown method where you can write code to set custom text to edit text based on key pressed by user.
I have created my own onscreenkeyboard. When i focus to textfield it will automatically popup the keyboard. If i add Gdx.input.setOnscreenKeyboardVisible(false), to the focusing method the keyboard will show up anyway for a second. Has anyone got a workaround for this?
Thanks!
According to the documentation, you should be able to do setOnScreenKeyboard() and supply your custom OnScreenKeyboard implementation. My guess is that it is trying to call show() on both your keyboard and the default keyboard. Setting the keyboard to use will prevent the default from showing up.
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 would like to use ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW in ActionBar. So I would have search and search suggestions in ActionBar. Is it possible to make show this input text, without need of clicking menu first?
My Activity is only for search purpose so it's not nice when user need first click on search.
I managed to solve my problem by using custom view and displaying there some input field.
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.
