I want to make the custom keyboard in my android application and show it for specific EditText.
I've read documentation and found, that I need to extend the InputMethodService class. But I didn't find out how to show this keyboard automatically for some EditText.
Thanks
There is a example present in Android SDK
Load that Android Project
New --> Android Sample Project --> Soft Keyboard
To show your keyboard for particular edit text box you need to override OnTouchlistener
I found the solution I wanted here: http://www.infiniterecursion.us/2011/02/android-activity-custom-keyboard.html

I am using a picker in Xamarin forms and it looks like a entry box on the page until you tap it and it choices popup. I want to visually tell the user that this is drop down which they can select from. Can I do it using styling? So body suggested using Effects. How do I achieve this?

This shows what the picker will render as across platforms. As you can see it does not give you an indication of a dropdown. From what I understand you would have to implement a custom renderer for each platform to add any kind of drop down arrow.
Unfortunately xamarin forms picker has simple features. I think try Custom renderer because if you want custom style or effect then use custom renderer and check below link.

I have successfully made a very basic custom keyboard for Android based off of this tutorial. The problem is, this keyboard looks very odd and outdated for Android lollipop:

I have been looking at other keyboards such as the default OS keyboard and this one:
And they look much better for Android.
How can I modify the color scheme and style of my keyboard to look better?
It is also worth noting I am making a keyboard that is very similar to the second example (it will just have a few extra buttons).
If you want a lot of control and be able to do things dynamically, I suggest you ditch the xml layout and KeyboardView class and make your own custom keyboard view
How to show such kind of hints or instructions for the user, and after tap on this the hints it will be invisible.
Go for the SuperToolTips which is open source and creates a Custom tooltips for the views as per your needs.
