I have only a EditText in my fragment. I want user not to use Swype Keyboard for that particular EditText. How can I disable it and allow user to type using other keyboard available.
The keyboard used is ultimately up to the user to decide and can not be changed by a developer without really going against Androids guidelines.
I believe that you cannot change your default keyboard by code with standard SDK...
The solution you can implement is send the user to the settings so he can change it.
See THIS POST that explains how to do it.

I'm working on an Android app that needs to take input in Arabic whenever the User taps on an EditText view. So how do I change the keyboard language programatically or ask the User to do so?
I conducted extensive research and found out that it can be done via:
a) creating a custom Arabic keyboard,
b) using the IME manager to prompt the user to change input method by calling showInputMethodPicker(),
c) using the IME manager to change input method by calling setInputMethod.
of these, (c) is only workable for System apps, and (a) requires a lot of time (which I currently don't have), and (b) requires the user to manually enable it.
Is there absolutely ANY simple and workable way to accomplish this? Any external API that I could use or anything at all?

Above link can help you.For getting above required feature you need to make custom keyboard Arabic then open that keyboard when you type in edit text.
I'm looking for references to do a keyboard app like Gboard.
I checked GitHub and googled for custom keyboard for android code and I still don't know what to do.
I came across AnySoftKeyboard but it seems complicated and I think it's not what I'm looking for.
I don't need the keyboard to be that customised, I want to have a search functionality when a user clicked on a key from the keyboard, it will show an input field where the user can type any text and automatically search on the internet about the typedText and display the searches then user can share it as part of the text he/she will send to the recipient.
Creating an Input Method Editor from the Android Docs
I would like to remove the "settings" and the "paste" keys in the keyboard (EditText). How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
About possible duplicate with this thread: How to disable copy/paste from/to EditText, my question is a bit different. I am not trying to find a way to cancel the paste function in any keyboard the user may choose. In my context, the app is in kiosk mode, so user has not the privileges to change anything. And that exactly why I do not want him being able to change any keyboard config using that "setting" key in the android default keyboard...
Hey this is a simple question but i can't seem to find an answer for it.
I'm intrested in creating something like a smilies keyboard to be added to the native keyboard so a person can add them in emails/SMS etc.
Now i guess i can edit the OS itself and add it to keyboard, but i was wondering if i can attach to the event that opens the keyboard and edit it?
Again, i'm NOT intrested in a custom keyboard inside my app, i want while my app is open (if possible without, better) to change the regular keyboard.
Is this possible?
i was wondering if i can attach to the event that opens the keyboard and edit it?
No, sorry. That is a different application than yours; you cannot change it at runtime.
You are welcome to build your own input method editor and use that, though. Or, perhaps you could make a contribution to some existing open source input method editor project.
Currently I am busy with designing keyboard maximum functionality of the keyboard has been completed at that time i am facing a problem regard setting of this key board like Speed of typing, spell checking, suggestion box and other think i know this is control by Preference.
But i don't know about how to add preference in android setting.
Means user control this keyboard setting by these following step.
Settings >Language and Keyboard >My Keyboard name > Setting of this Keyboard.
Can any one told me hoe can it possible thanks in advance.
You will have to create your own custom firmware.
Perhaps this question and answer covers what you want to do?
