Hi guys i am wonder whether it is possible to create a custom keyboard in Android such as the once attached with this question. Any ideas and clue would be very much appreciated. Hoping for better response. Thanks in Advance.
I've wondered about that in the past and I ended up using a custom View, assigning the active EditText element to it, hiding the system keyboard and changing the content when a button is pressed.

I am developing an android phonegap app. i created a popup using HTML, which contains two edit fields for "username" and "password". when these fields receives focus, the soft keyboard appears and hides immediately. Can anybody say why it behaves like this.
Thanks in advance
it must be losing focus right after too for some other reason I would suspect.
Try to add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" on your Android manifest file.That worked for me.
It's a late answer but will be helpful for someone else.

You need to create an input method.

In my android application i am using a simple login page.
The issue is that when testing in android htc wildfire,the user could not see the text typed till he press back or done
I would like the user to view his text while typing itself.

Could anyone please let me know how to resolve this?
Please share your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance :)
Looks like your problem is this:
When user clicks in the EditText to type, the keyboard pops up and hides the EditText, thus the user can't see what he's typing
For this, you can put that EditText into a ScrollView so that when keyboard pops-up, Android scrolls the EditText up. This way,the user can see what he's typing.
Well I don't know whether it will help you or not. but am sharing because some other may be benifited. I got the same issue in my Kindle tablet.
And I have solved this just by adding the simple attribute to the edittext.
<EditText
.........
android:textCursorDrawable="#drawable/Black"
/>
And its done. Now it will show each character you types.
If it helps you, I will suggest you to write the above attribute everytime you declare an edittext, even though this issue doesn't occur.
Hello
In my android application i am using a webview to display apage of contents .
What i require is like if the user longpress on a word then that particular word should be highlighted and should be highlighted even if the user reloads the app again.
Is there any way that i can get this done in android.
Please forward your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance:)
Putting it in a WebView is what will make this tricky, if it were just a regular view I would say extend TextView and implement onLongClickListener for it as well. Not sure how to squeeze this into an existing webview though :/
